Classic Dutch Oven Beef Brisket
Ingredients
  • 1 (3 pound) beef brisket
  • 1/2 teaspoon seasoned salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 large onions, sliced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • 1 cup ketchup
  • 1/3 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/3 cup cider vinegar
  • 3 tablespoons chili powder
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1/4 cup cold water
  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
Instructions
1
Preheat the Dutch oven by heating oil over medium-high heat, allowing it to reach a suitable temperature for searing the brisket.
2
Season the brisket with a blend of salt and pepper, creating a flavorful foundation for the dish.
3
In a separate pan, heat oil over medium-high heat and sear the brisket until it develops a rich brown color on both sides, then transfer it to a large serving plate.
4
In the same pan used for searing the brisket, sauté the onions and garlic until they are tender and have released their natural sweetness, approximately 6 minutes.
5
Return the brisket to the pan and combine it with a mixture of beef broth, ketchup, brown sugar, vinegar, chili powder, bay leaves, and cayenne pepper in a bowl, stirring until the ingredients are well incorporated.
6
Bring the mixture to a rolling boil and then reduce the heat to low, cover the pan with a lid, and let it simmer for 2 1/2 to 3 hours, or until the brisket is extremely tender and easily shreds with a fork.
7
Remove the bay leaves from the pan and transfer the brisket to a serving platter, reserving the flavorful liquid in the Dutch oven.
8
Slice the tender brisket into thin strips and whisk together water and flour to create a slurry, then stir it into the Dutch oven and bring the mixture to a boil until the sauce has thickened, creating a rich and satisfying accompaniment to the brisket.
