Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Season the Brisket

    In a small bowl, combine salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and cayenne pepper. Rub the spice mixture all over the brisket, ensuring it is evenly coated. Let it sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Vegetables

    While the brisket is resting, chop the onion and mince the garlic cloves. Set aside.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Sear the Brisket

    In a large skillet or Dutch oven, heat a tablespoon of oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the brisket and sear for about 4-5 minutes on each side until browned. Remove the brisket and set aside.

  2. 4

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In the same skillet, add the chopped onion and minced garlic. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until the onion is translucent.

  3. 5

    Combine Ingredients

    Add the beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, and apple cider vinegar to the skillet with the sautéed vegetables. Stir to combine.

  4. 6

    Cook the Brisket

    Return the seared brisket to the skillet, making sure it is submerged in the liquid. Bring to a simmer, cover, and reduce the heat to low. Cook for 3-4 hours until the brisket is tender and easily shredded.

Finishing Touches

  1. 7

    Shred the Brisket

    Once the brisket is cooked, remove it from the skillet and let it rest for 10-15 minutes. Shred the brisket using two forks.

  2. 8

    Serve

    Serve the chopped brisket warm, drizzled with the cooking liquid and vegetables from the skillet. Enjoy with your favorite sides!
