Ingredients

Ingredients List

  • 1 (3 pound) beef brisket

  • ½ teaspoon seasoned salt

  • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

  • 2 large onions, sliced

  • 3 cloves garlic, minced

  • 1 cup beef broth

  • 1 cup ketchup

  • ⅓ cup packed brown sugar

  • ⅓ cup cider vinegar

  • 3 tablespoons chili powder

  • 2 bay leaves

  • ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper

  • ¼ cup cold water

  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour


Directions

  1. Sprinkle brisket with seasoned salt and black pepper.

  2. Heat oil in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Sear brisket in hot oil until browned on both sides. Transfer brisket to a large plate. Cook and stir onions and garlic in the Dutch oven until vegetables are softened, about 6 minutes. Return brisket to the Dutch oven.

  3. Whisk beef broth, ketchup, brown sugar, vinegar, chili powder, bay leaves, and cayenne pepper together in a bowl; drizzle broth mixture over brisket.

  4. Bring beef mixture to a boil; reduce heat to low and cover. Simmer until beef is very tender and easily falls apart when pulled with a fork, 2 1/2 to 3 hours. Remove and discard bay leaves. Transfer beef to a platter, reserving liquid in the Dutch oven. Slice beef.

  5. Whisk water and flour together in a small bowl; stir into the Dutch oven and bring to a boil until sauce is thickened. Serve sauce over sliced brisket.
