Method
Prepare Brisket Al Pastor
- 1
Marinate the Brisket
In a large bowl, combine pineapple juice, white vinegar, adobo sauce, minced garlic, oregano, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Mix well. Place the brisket in a resealable bag or shallow dish, pour the marinade over it, seal, and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight for best results.

Cook the Brisket
Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Remove the brisket from the marinade and pat it dry. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the brisket on both sides until browned, about 4-5 minutes per side. Transfer the brisket to a baking dish, cover with foil, and bake for 3-4 hours, or until tender.

Rest and Slice
Once cooked, remove the brisket from the oven and let it rest for 20 minutes. Slice thinly against the grain.
