Braised beef brisket slider topped with balsamic bacon, onion relish and goat cheese

YIELD: 60 2 oz. brisket portions

1 oz. chili powder
1 oz. onion powder
1 oz. garlic powder
1 oz. paprika
1 oz. thyme
1 oz. oregano
10 lbs. beef brisket, raw
10 oz. beef broth
60 brioche slider buns
15 oz. relish
15 oz. goat cheese

Combine all spices to make a rub. Rub evenly over brisket, then roast in 400°F oven for an hour.

Transfer brisket to braising pan, then add broth so that it is just covered. Cover with lid or foil and cook at 350°F for approx.. 4 hours, until meat is tender and easily pulled. Remove from pan and let rest.

Transfer braising liquid to pot and simmer until liquid has reduced to almost half. Adjust seasoning if needed.

Pull brisket and place in hotel pan. Pour reduced liquid over pulled brisket allowing it to absorb.

To serve, place 2 oz. brisket meat on slider bun, top with ¼ oz. relish and ¼ oz. goat cheese.
