How do you shred brisket?

To shred brisket, first let it rest for at least 30 minutes after cooking to retain moisture. Use two forks or your hands (if cool enough) to pull apart the meat against the grain, which helps maintain tenderness. For a more uniform shred, you can also use a stand mixer with a paddle attachment on low speed. Serve immediately with your favorite barbecue sauce or as part of a dish.
