Braised BBQ Brisket

After days of high maintenance cooking, I’m ready for an easy dinner.  BBQ beef brisket fits the bill to perfection.  With only a handful of ingredients, the result is surprisingly good for faux barbecue.

brisket of beef
2 cups of your favorite BBQ Sauce
1 can diced tomatoes
1 onion
4-5 cloves garlic

Process tomatoes, onion and garlic in a food processor until smooth.  Set aside.  Place brisket in a large dutch oven and brown the fatty side of brisket in olive oil to form a golden brown crust.  Turn, and brown the remaining side.  Pour tomato mixture and bbq sauce over the brisket and bring to a gentle simmer.  Heat oven to 250 degrees.  Place lid on dutch oven and allow brisket to bake in the oven for 3-4 hours.  (Or, until fork tender)

Slice and serve with Texas toast, smashed potatoes and arugula & sweet onion salad with lemon vinaigrette.
