Method

Couscous Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Couscous

    In a medium pot, bring 1 cup of water to a boil. Add 1 tsp of salt and 1 tbsp of olive oil. Stir in 1 cup of couscous, cover, and remove from heat. Let it sit for 5 minutes, then fluff with a fork.

Shredded Brisket Preparation

  1. 2

    Cook the Brisket

    In a large pot, heat 2 tbsp of olive oil over medium heat. Add 1 chopped onion and sauté until translucent. Add 3 minced garlic cloves and cook for an additional minute. Season with 1 tsp of salt, 1 tsp of black pepper, and 1 tsp of cumin.

  2. 3

    Add the Brisket

    Place the 1 lb brisket into the pot and pour in 2 cups of beef broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 2-3 hours or until the brisket is tender and easily shredded.

  3. 4

    Shred the Brisket

    Remove the brisket from the pot and let it cool slightly. Use two forks to shred the meat into bite-sized pieces. Return the shredded brisket to the pot and stir to combine with the broth and onion mixture.
