Preheat your grill or smoker to 250°F (120°C).
Rub the brisket with the Smoky Carolina BBQ rub and let it rest for 30 minutes.
Place the brisket on the grill grates, fat side up, and cook for 4 5 hours or until tender and reaches an internal temperature of 195°F (90°C). Wrap in foil if needed to prevent drying out.
In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat and sear the brisket on both sides for 2 minutes each.
Slice the seared brisket into 1/2 inch thick pieces and set aside.
Assemble the sliders by layering sliced brisket, sauerkraut, Swiss cheese, and Russian dressing between rye bread slices.
Grill the sandwiches for 2 3 minutes per side or until the cheese is melted and the bread is toasted.

Allow the brisket to rest for at least 15 minutes before slicing to retain its juiciness.

Serve these sliders hot and enjoy the smoky, tangy, and flavorful burst in each bite!

Use gluten-free bread for a GF option.

For a slow cooker version, cook the brisket on low for 8-10 hours.

You can also use an oven-safe pan to sear the brisket and finish it in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 20 minutes or until heated through.

Store cooked brisket in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.

6 months if stored properly in a cool, dark place.

Place 3 sliders on each plate and garnish with pickles or a side salad for added crunch.
