These sliders combine tender, smoky brisket with a tangy, crunchy coleslaw on soft mini buns, perfect for casual gatherings or quick meals.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds (900g) precooked or leftover smoked brisket, sliced or shredded
  • 12 soft mini slider buns or Hawaiian rolls
  • 4 cups (about 340g) coleslaw mix (shredded cabbage and carrots)
  • 1/2 cup (120ml) mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons (30ml) apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon (15ml) honey
  • 1 teaspoon (5ml) Dijon mustard
  • 1/2 teaspoon (2.5ml) celery seed (optional)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Pickles or pickle slices (optional)

Instructions

  1. If your brisket is cold, let it come to room temperature before slicing. Thinly slice or shred about 2 pounds (900g) of smoked brisket against the grain for tenderness. This should take about 10 minutes.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup (120ml) mayonnaise, 2 tablespoons (30ml) apple cider vinegar, 1 tablespoon (15ml) honey, 1 teaspoon (5ml) Dijon mustard, celery seed (if using), salt, and pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning.
  3. Add 4 cups (340g) coleslaw mix to the dressing and toss until coated. Let it rest in the fridge for 15 to 20 minutes to meld flavors.
  4. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place slider buns on a baking sheet and warm for 5 minutes until soft and slightly toasted.
  5. Spread a thin layer of coleslaw on the bottom half of each bun. Pile on a generous helping of sliced brisket, then add an extra spoonful of coleslaw on top for crunch. Add pickles if desired. Cap with the top bun.
  6. Serve immediately to keep the coleslaw crisp and buns soft. If holding, cover loosely with foil and serve within 30 minutes.

Notes

Slice brisket against the grain for tenderness. Let coleslaw rest in the fridge for 15-20 minutes to meld flavors and keep crunch. Warm buns in the oven for best texture. For leftovers, store brisket and coleslaw separately and reheat brisket gently to avoid drying out.
