To make Firehouse Beef and Cheddar Brisket, here is a step-by-step guide:
Ingredients:
- 4-6 pounds of beef brisket
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1 onion, sliced
- 4 cloves of garlic, minced
- 2 cups beef broth
- 1 cup Firehouse-style BBQ sauce
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 6-8 slices of cheddar cheese
- Hamburger buns or rolls, for serving
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C).
2. In a large Dutch oven or oven-safe pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the beef brisket and sear it on all sides until browned. This helps to lock in flavors and juices.
3. Remove the brisket from the pot and set it aside momentarily. Add the sliced onion and minced garlic to the pot, and sauté them until they are softened and lightly browned.
4. Return the seared brisket to the pot, placing it on top of the sautéed onions and garlic.
5. In a separate bowl, mix together the beef broth, Firehouse-style BBQ sauce, brown sugar, smoked paprika, chili powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper. Pour this mixture over the brisket in the pot.
6. Cover the pot with a lid or tightly with aluminum foil. Transfer it to the preheated oven and let it cook for about 3-4 hours, or until the brisket is tender and easily pulls apart with a fork.
7. Once the brisket is done, take it out of the oven. Use two forks to shred the meat in the pot, mixing it with the sauce and onions. If there is excess fat, you can skim it off at this stage.
8. Place a slice of cheddar cheese on top of each serving of shredded brisket, allowing it to melt over the hot meat.
9. Serve the Firehouse Beef and Cheddar Brisket piled high on hamburger buns or rolls, and enjoy!
Note: Feel free to adjust the seasonings according to your taste preferences. You can also add additional toppings like pickles or coleslaw for extra flavor and texture.
To make Firehouse Beef and Cheddar Brisket, you'll need the following ingredients:
- 4 pounds of beef brisket
- 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 3 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1 cup of beef broth
- 1 cup of barbecue sauce
- 1 cup of cheddar cheese, shredded
- Salt and pepper to taste
Now, let's move on to the step-by-step instructions:
Step 1: Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C).
Step 2: Season the brisket on both sides with salt and pepper.
Step 3: Heat the vegetable oil in a large oven-safe pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the brisket, fat side down, and sear it for about 4-5 minutes until it develops a brown crust. Then, flip it over and sear the other side for another 4-5 minutes.
Step 4: Remove the seared brisket from the pot and set it aside on a plate.
Step 5: Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the pot and sauté until they become fragrant and slightly softened, usually 2-3 minutes.
Step 6: Pour the beef broth and barbecue sauce into the pot, stirring well to combine with the onion and garlic. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
Step 7: Return the seared brisket to the pot, fat side up, and cover it with a tight-fitting lid or aluminum foil.
Step 8: Place the pot in the preheated oven and cook the brisket for about 3 to 4 hours, or until it becomes tender and easily pulls apart with a fork. You can check for doneness by inserting a fork into the meat and twisting it; it should go in and out smoothly without resistance.
Step 9: Once the brisket is cooked, remove it from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat.
Step 10: Slice the brisket against the grain into thin slices. This helps ensure the meat remains tender and easy to chew.
Step 11: Serve the sliced brisket on rolls or buns, topping each portion with shredded cheddar cheese. You can then broil the sandwiches in the oven for a few minutes to melt the cheese, if desired.
