-
Soak Brisket:
- Place the brisket in a large container and cover it with water. Let it soak for 30 minutes. This step helps tenderize the meat.
-
Drain:
- After soaking, drain the water from the brisket and pat it dry with paper towels.
-
Season Brisket:
- Sprinkle kosher salt evenly over the brisket and allow it to sit for another 30 minutes. This helps enhance the flavor of the meat.
-
Rinse:
- Rinse the brisket thoroughly under cold water to remove excess salt.
-
Braise Brisket:
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the brisket and brown it on all sides, about 8 minutes per side.
-
Add Onions:
- Reduce the heat to medium and add sliced onions to the skillet. Continue cooking until the onions are caramelized and golden brown.
-
Add Garlic:
- Add minced garlic to the skillet and cook for an additional minute, stirring constantly.
-
Remove Meat:
- Once the onions and garlic are fragrant and tender, remove the brisket from the skillet and set it aside.
-
Prepare Sauce:
- In the same skillet, combine ketchup, water, brown sugar, red wine vinegar, black pepper, and red chili powder. Stir well to combine all the ingredients.
-
Simmer Brisket:
- Return the brisket to the skillet, making sure it’s fully submerged in the sauce. Cover the skillet and simmer over low heat for approximately 3 hours, or until the meat is tender and easily pulls apart.
-
Reduce Sauce:
- Once the brisket is cooked to perfection, remove it from the skillet and set it aside to rest. Increase the heat to medium-high and simmer the sauce uncovered until it thickens and reduces to your desired consistency.
-
Serve:
- Slice the brisket against the grain and serve it with the delicious sauce spooned over the top. Enjoy your mouthwatering masterpiece!
Tips:
- For an extra kick of flavor, try adding a splash of Worcestershire sauce or hot sauce to the sauce mixture.
