Method

Brisket Preparation

  1. 1

    Sear the Brisket

    Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Season the wagyu brisket with salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, and cumin. Sear the brisket on all sides until browned.

  2. 2

    Add Aromatics

    Add chopped onion and minced garlic to the pot. Sauté for a few minutes until the onion is softened.

  3. 3

    Braise the Brisket

    Pour in the beef broth and bring to a simmer. Cover the pot and reduce heat to low. Braise for about 3 hours or until the brisket is tender.

Pickled Red Onions

    Prepare Pickling Solution

    In a saucepan, combine white vinegar, sugar, salt, and water. Bring to a boil, stirring until sugar is dissolved.

  2. 5

    Pickle the Onions

    Place the sliced red onions in a jar and pour the hot pickling solution over them. Let it sit for at least 30 minutes before using.

    In a bowl, mix the sour cream, minced habanero, lime juice, and salt until well combined. Adjust seasoning to taste.
