Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds brisket
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 8 pieces lettuce leaves
- 1 large tomato
- 1 medium avocado
- 4 slices cheddar cheese
- 1 medium red onion
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).
In a small bowl, mix together the salt, black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and smoked paprika.
Rub the brisket with olive oil, ensuring it's evenly coated. Then, apply the spice mix all over the brisket.
In a large oven-safe pot or Dutch oven, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear the brisket on all sides until browned, about 5 minutes per side.
Cover the pot with a lid or foil and place it in the oven. Slow-cook the brisket for approximately 5-6 hours, or until it’s tender and can be easily shredded.
Once cooked, remove the brisket from the oven and let it rest for about 15 minutes. Shred the brisket using two forks.
While the brisket rests, prepare the toppings. Wash and separate the lettuce leaves, slice the tomato into half-inch slices, slice the avocado, and thinly slice the red onion.
To assemble the burgers, place two lettuce leaves on a plate as the base, add a mound of shredded brisket, followed by a slice of cheddar cheese.
Top with tomato slices, avocado slices, and onion rings.
Finish by covering with another set of two lettuce leaves, securing the burger. Serve immediately and enjoy your low carb brisket burger!
