Braveheart® Brisket Joe
Braveheart® Brisket Joe
Directions
- Season brisket with salt and pepper on all sides. Heat quarter cup of olive oil in a rondeau over medium high heat. Brown brisket on all sides then remove from pan and drain off excess oil in pot.
- Pour in tomatoes and water in pot over medium heat. Whisk in beef base and cumin.
- Add brisket to pot then cover the pot with foil or a sheet pan. Simmer stove top for 30 minutes per pound until brisket is fork tender. Meaning you can easily flake off pieces of beef with a fork.
- Remove brisket for pot and let rest for 15 minutes. Discard all but one cup of braising liquid.
- Shred brisket and reserve.
- Heat remaining olive oil in braising pot and add onion over medium heat and cook for 4-5 minutes.
- Add brisket, the cup of braising liquid and BBQ sauce mix well then serve a portion on a bun topped with pickled red onion.
