Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pounds Brisket
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Smoked paprika
- 1 tablespoon Garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 2 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
- 6 ounces Tomato paste
- 0.5 cup Apple cider vinegar
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon Liquid smoke
- 1 cup Onions, chopped
- 1 cup Beef broth
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).
In a small bowl, mix together the smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, ground black pepper, salt, and cayenne pepper.
Rub the brisket with olive oil and then coat evenly with the spice mixture.
Heat a large oven-safe skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the brisket and sear for 3-4 minutes on each side until browned.
Remove the brisket and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the chopped onions and sauté for 5 minutes until they are soft.
Stir in the tomato paste, apple cider vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, liquid smoke, and beef broth.
Return the brisket to the skillet, cover, and move it to the preheated oven.
Cook the brisket in the oven for 6-8 hours, basting occasionally after the first half of the cooking time, until the meat is tender and easily shredded with a fork.
Remove the brisket from the oven, let it rest for 15 minutes, then slice against the grain.
Serve hot with the cooking juices spooned over the top or on the side.
