Instructions:
-
Prepare Brisket: Start by trimming the brisket of all visible fat, then place it in the crockpot.
-
-
Mix Sauce: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the tomato sauce, red wine vinegar, brown sugar, liquid smoke flavoring, light soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, barbecue sauce, corn syrup (if using), garlic powder, dry mustard, and ginger ale. Mix thoroughly.
-
Pour Over Brisket: Pour the sauce mixture over the brisket in the crockpot, ensuring it’s evenly coated.
-
Initial Cooking: Cook on high heat for approximately 2 hours or until the mixture is simmering.
-
Slow Cook: Reduce the heat to low and continue cooking for an additional 7 to 9 hours. This slow cooking process allows the flavors to meld and the brisket to become tender.
-
Shred Brisket: About 30 minutes before serving, remove the brisket from the crockpot and shred it into strips using two forks.
-
Keep Warm: Place the shredded meat on a platter and cover it with aluminum foil. Keep it warm in a 200-degree Fahrenheit oven while preparing the gravy.
-
Prepare Gravy: Mix 4 tablespoons of water with the cornstarch to create a slurry. Turn the crockpot to high and stir in the cornstarch mixture. Allow the mixture to thicken, stirring occasionally to achieve the desired gravy consistency.
-
Serve: Once the gravy reaches the desired thickness, serve the Tangy Beef Brisket hot, accompanied by your favorite sides like Herb Roasted Potatoes and a Side Salad.
-
Enjoy: Sit back, relax, and relish in the delicious flavors of this tender and tangy beef brisket, perfect for any weeknight dinner or special occasion feast. 🍖🥔🥗
