Description
A delicious recipe for caramelized pulled beef brisket that is perfect for impressing guests or enjoying a hearty meal.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 pounds beef brisket
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 large onion, sliced
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup beef broth
- 1 cup barbecue sauce
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
- 4 hamburger buns
- Coleslaw (for serving, optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).
- In a large oven-safe pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.
- Season the brisket with salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, and cayenne pepper (if using). Place the brisket in the pot with the onions and garlic.
- In a bowl, mix together the beef broth, barbecue sauce, brown sugar, and Worcestershire sauce. Pour this mixture over the brisket.
- Cover the pot with a lid and transfer it to the preheated oven. Cook for 3 to 4 hours, or until the brisket is tender and easily shreds with a fork.
- Once cooked, remove the brisket from the pot and let it rest for 15 minutes. Shred the meat using two forks.
- Return the shredded brisket to the pot and stir it into the sauce. Let it simmer on the stovetop for an additional 10 minutes to absorb the flavors.
- Serve the pulled brisket on hamburger buns, topped with coleslaw if desired.
Notes
- For a spicier kick, add diced jalapeños to the onion and garlic mixture.
- Try using different barbecue sauces to customize the flavor profile, such as a tangy vinegar-based sauce or a sweet honey barbecue sauce.
