Ingredients

Scale
  • 34 lb beef brisket
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 large onion, sliced
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • 1/2 cup barbecue sauce
  • 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tbsp brown sugar

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).

  7. Pour in beef broth, barbecue sauce, Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar, and smoked paprika. Stir to combine.
  8. Return the brisket to the pot, ensuring it is partially submerged in the liquid.
  9. Cover the Dutch oven and transfer it to the preheated oven.
  10. Bake for 4-5 hours, or until the brisket is fork-tender.
  11. Remove the brisket from the pot and let it rest for 10 minutes.
  12. Shred the brisket using two forks.
  13. Return the shredded beef to the pot with the sauce and toss to coat.

Notes

  • For extra caramelization, you can broil the shredded beef for a few minutes before serving.
  • Adjust sweetness and spice to your preference by altering the amount of brown sugar and smoked paprika.
