Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds beef brisket
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 whole chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
- 3 whole garlic cloves
- 1 large onion
- 2 cups beef broth
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 2 cups brown rice
- 1 cup black beans
- 1 cup corn kernels
- 1 cup diced tomatoes
- 1 whole avocado
- 0.5 cup fresh cilantro
- 1 cup cheddar cheese
- 0.5 cup sour cream
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).
Season the beef brisket with salt and pepper on both sides.
In a large oven-safe pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the brisket and sear on both sides until browned, about 4-5 minutes per side. Remove the brisket and set aside.
In the same pot, add the chopped onion and garlic cloves, sautéing until fragrant and the onion is translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the chipotle peppers in adobo sauce and stir well, cooking for an additional 2 minutes.
Pour in the beef broth and lime juice, stirring to combine. Return the seared brisket to the pot, ensuring it's covered in the liquid and aromatics.
Cover the pot with a lid and transfer it to the preheated oven. Cook for about 3 to 4 hours, or until the brisket is tender and easily falls apart with a fork.
While the brisket is cooking, prepare the brown rice according to package instructions. Set aside.
Once the brisket is done, remove it from the oven and allow it to rest for a few minutes. Shred the brisket using two forks.
Assemble the bowls by dividing the cooked brown rice into four bowls. Top each bowl with shredded brisket, black beans, corn, diced tomatoes, slices of avocado, and a sprinkle of fresh cilantro.
Optionally, add shredded cheddar cheese and a dollop of sour cream to each bowl.
Serve warm and enjoy your delicious High Protein Chipotle Brisket Bowl!
