Chopped Brisket

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Sear the Brisket

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Season the brisket with salt and pepper. Sear the brisket on all sides until browned, about 4-5 minutes per side.

  2. 2

    Cook with Whiskey and Broth

    Reduce heat to medium, then add diced onion and garlic to the skillet. Cook until softened, about 3 minutes. Pour in the whiskey and beef broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet.

  3. 3

    Add Seasonings

    Stir in smoked paprika and brown sugar. Bring the mixture to a simmer.

  4. 4

    Slow Cook the Brisket

    Cover the skillet and reduce heat to low. Let the brisket cook for about 2-3 hours, or until tender.

  5. 5

    Shred the Brisket

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

  6. 6

    Combine and Serve

    Return the shredded brisket to the skillet, mix with the sauce, and serve hot.
