BBQ Beef
- 2 lbs beef brisket
- 1 tablespoon oil
- 12 medium onion, frenched
- 1 -2 garlic clove, chopped
- 3 cups hot water
- 2 beef bouillon cubes
- 14 cup molasses
- 1 tablespoon liquid smoke
- 1 tablespoon kosher salt
- 1 -2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- Preheat oven to 275.
- Add the oil to a large dutch oven or oven-proof pot and heat to med-high.
- Brown meat on all sides and set aside on a platter.
- Add onions and garlic to pot and saute until the onions start to go translucent.
- Add the remaining ingredients and stir to combine.
- Bring braising liquid to a boil for a couple of minutes, long enough to dissolve the bullion cubes.
- Put the roast and any accumulated juices back in the pot, cover, and put in the oven.
- Cook for roughly 5 or 6 hours.
- When the meat is tender enough to separate with a fork, you're done.
- Allow to cool enough to handle, or, put meat and enough liquid to cover in a container and stick in the fridge overnight.
- The next morning, skim off the solidified fat and proceed.
- If using an exceptionally stringy and tough cut of meat like brisket, cut into chunks across the grain of the meat.
- Using your hands, or forks, or whatever your favorite pork-pulling implements usually are, shred the meat.
- Serve on rolls, hamburger buns, etc.
- topped with BBQ sauce or to enhance the beefiness, don't overlook your braising sauce!.
- Take some of the liquid you cooked the meat in, put it in a saucepan and boil it for 10 or so minutes, long enough to reduce it down a bit.
- Spoon this over the meat and let it soak into the roll, or put it in separate cups/bowls for dipping.
