  1. 1

    Prepare the Brisket

    In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add diced onion and minced garlic, sauté until translucent.

  2. 2

    Add the brisket, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Brown on all sides.

  3. 3

    Pour in the beef broth, bring to a simmer, cover, and reduce heat to low. Braise for 2-3 hours until tender.

  4. 4

    Once tender, remove brisket from the pot and let it cool slightly. Shred the brisket and mix in the golden raisins and fontina cheese.
