Ingredients

• 4 pounds beef brisket
• 2 teaspoons Kosher salt
• 2 teaspoons black pepper
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 large yellow onion, sliced
• 4 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 12 ounces Coca Cola
• 1 cup beef broth
• 1 cup ketchup
• 1 tablespoon brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).

Step 2

Season the brisket on all sides with Kosher salt, black pepper, onion powder, and garlic powder.

Step 3

In a large oven-safe Dutch oven or heavy pot, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.

Step 4

Sear the brisket for 4-5 minutes per side, or until a deep golden crust forms. Remove the brisket and set aside.

Step 5

Reduce the heat to medium and add the sliced onion to the pot. Sauté for 5-6 minutes until softened.

Step 6

Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 7

In a medium bowl, whisk together the Coca Cola, beef broth, ketchup, brown sugar, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, and apple cider vinegar.

Step 8

Pour the sauce mixture into the pot with the onions and garlic. Stir to combine.

Step 9

Return the seared brisket to the pot, fat-side up, ensuring it is mostly submerged in the liquid.

Step 10

Cover the pot with a lid and transfer it to the preheated oven.

Step 11

Cook the brisket for 3.5 to 4 hours, or until it is fork-tender. Baste the brisket with the cooking liquid every hour for extra flavor.

Step 12

Once cooked, remove the brisket from the pot and let it rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing against the grain.

Step 13

Serve with the sauce spooned over the sliced brisket. Enjoy!
