Method

For the Barbacoa

  1. 1

    Prepare the Brisket

    In a slow cooker, place the beef brisket and sprinkle with salt and black pepper. Add the chopped onion, minced garlic, chipotle peppers, cumin, oregano, and beef broth.

  2. 2

    Cook the Brisket

    Cover and cook on low for 8-10 hours, or until the beef is tender and easily shredded with a fork.

  3. 3

    Shred the Beef

    Once cooked, remove the brisket from the slow cooker and shred with two forks. Return the shredded beef to the slow cooker to absorb the juices.

For the Hollandaise Sauce

  1. 4

    Melt the Butter

    In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat until it's completely melted, then keep it warm.

  2. 5

    Whisk the Egg Yolks

    In a medium bowl, whisk the egg yolks until they become thick and pale.

  3. 6

    Combine Ingredients

    Slowly drizzle the melted butter into the egg yolks while continuously whisking. Add lemon juice and salt to taste. Whisk until the sauce is thick and creamy.

For the Assembly

  1. 7

    Toast the English Muffins

    Slice the English muffins in half and toast them until golden brown.

  2. 8

    Poach the Eggs

    Bring a pot of water to a gentle simmer. Crack the eggs into separate bowls, then gently slide them into the simmering water. Cook for about 3-4 minutes or until the whites are set but the yolks remain runny.

  3. 9

    Assemble the Dish

    On each toasted English muffin half, place a generous amount of shredded barbacoa. Top with a poached egg and drizzle with hollandaise sauce. Serve with Spanish rice and refried beans on the side.
