Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pounds beef brisket
- 2 teaspoons Kosher salt
- 2 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 large yellow onion, sliced
- 4 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 12 ounces Coca Cola
- 1 cup beef broth
- 1 cup ketchup
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).
Season the brisket on all sides with Kosher salt, black pepper, onion powder, and garlic powder.
In a large oven-safe Dutch oven or heavy pot, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
Sear the brisket for 4-5 minutes per side, or until a deep golden crust forms. Remove the brisket and set aside.
Reduce the heat to medium and add the sliced onion to the pot. Sauté for 5-6 minutes until softened.
Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the Coca Cola, beef broth, ketchup, brown sugar, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, and apple cider vinegar.
Pour the sauce mixture into the pot with the onions and garlic. Stir to combine.
Return the seared brisket to the pot, fat-side up, ensuring it is mostly submerged in the liquid.
Cover the pot with a lid and transfer it to the preheated oven.
Cook the brisket for 3.5 to 4 hours, or until it is fork-tender. Baste the brisket with the cooking liquid every hour for extra flavor.
Once cooked, remove the brisket from the pot and let it rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing against the grain.
Serve with the sauce spooned over the sliced brisket. Enjoy!
