Description
A heartwarming recipe for sweet and savory caramelized pulled beef brisket, perfect for gatherings and family dinners.
Ingredients
- 4-5 pounds beef brisket
- 2 large yellow onions, thinly sliced
- 6 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 1 cup beef broth
- 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon smoked paprika
- 1 tablespoon ground cumin
- 1 tablespoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Trim the excess fat from the brisket, leaving a thin layer for flavor.
- Rub the smoked paprika, cumin, black pepper, and salt evenly over the brisket.
- In a skillet, heat oil and sauté the onions until caramelized (15-20 minutes).
- Add minced garlic and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.
- Transfer the caramelized onions to a slow cooker or Dutch oven.
- Place the seasoned brisket over the onions.
- Mix the brown sugar, soy sauce, beef broth, and apple cider vinegar in a bowl. Pour the mixture over the brisket.
- Cover and cook on low for 8-10 hours, or cover and bake in a preheated oven at 300°F (150°C) for 3-4 hours.
- Once cooking is complete, let the brisket rest for 20 minutes before shredding it and mixing it with the cooking liquid.
Notes
For best results, allow the brisket to rest before shredding to retain moisture; consider adding liquid smoke for a smoky flavor.
