Method
 

Cooking Instructions
  1. Trim excess fat from the brisket, leaving a thin layer for added flavor.
  2. Heat olive oil in a skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat until shimmering.
  3. Sear the brisket for 3-4 minutes on each side until nicely browned.
  4. Remove the brisket and sauté sliced onions and minced garlic in the same pan for about 5 minutes.
  5. Whisk together beef broth, barbecue sauce, brown sugar, vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, paprika, chili powder, cayenne, salt, and pepper in a mixing bowl.
  6. Return the brisket to the skillet and pour the sauce over it.
  7. Cover and cook on low heat for 4-6 hours.
  8. Check tenderness after cooking; the brisket should shred easily with forks when done.
  9. Allow the brisket to rest for at least 30 minutes before shredding.
  10. Shred the brisket and mix it thoroughly with the sauce before serving.
