Ingredients:
– 3-4 pounds beef brisket
– 1 tablespoon olive oil
– 1 onion, thinly sliced
– 3 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 cup ketchup
– 1/2 cup brown sugar
– 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
– 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
– 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
– 1 tablespoon smoked paprika
– 1 teaspoon cumin
– Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C).
2. In a large oven-safe Dutch oven or roasting pan, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the sliced onion and minced garlic, and sauté until the onion is soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.
3. Season the beef brisket generously with salt and pepper. Push the onions to the side of the pan and place the brisket in the center, searing it on all sides until browned, about 3-4 minutes per side.
4. In a mixing bowl, combine the ketchup, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, smoked paprika, and cumin. Stir well to combine all the ingredients into a smooth sauce.
5. Pour the barbecue sauce over the seared brisket, making sure to coat the meat evenly on all sides.
6. Cover the Dutch oven or roasting pan with a lid or aluminum foil and transfer it to the preheated oven. Let the brisket cook for about 3-4 hours, or until the meat is tender and easily pulls apart with a fork.
7. Once the brisket is cooked to perfection, remove it from the oven and let it rest for about 15 minutes before slicing it against the grain.
8. Serve the sliced brisket drizzled with the remaining barbecue sauce from the pan, and enjoy the delicious smoky flavors that will have everyone asking for more.
