Ingredients

• 3 pounds beef brisket
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 teaspoons salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 large, sliced onion
• 4 minced garlic cloves
• 2 cups beef broth
• 2 tablespoons tomato paste
• 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
• 6 brioche buns
• 2 cups coleslaw mix
• 0.5 cup vegan mayonnaise
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon celery seed
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 300°F (150°C).

Step 2

Pat the beef brisket dry with paper towels and season it with salt and black pepper on both sides.

Step 3

In a large oven-safe pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear the brisket for about 4-5 minutes on each side until browned. Remove and set aside.

Step 4

In the same pot, add the sliced onion and cook for 3 minutes until translucent. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute.

Step 5

Add the beef broth, tomato paste, apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, and balsamic vinegar to the pot. Stir well to combine and bring it to a simmer.

Step 6

Return the seared brisket to the pot, cover with a lid, and transfer to the preheated oven.

Step 7

Braise the brisket in the oven for about 3 to 4 hours, or until the meat is fork-tender.

Step 8

Meanwhile, prepare the coleslaw by mixing the coleslaw mix, vegan mayonnaise, lemon juice, celery seed, and black pepper in a large bowl. Set aside.

Step 9

Once the brisket is cooked, remove it from the oven. Let it rest for about 15 minutes before slicing against the grain into thin slices.

Step 10

Toast the brioche buns lightly if desired.

Step 11

Assemble the sandwiches by placing slices of brisket on the bottom half of each bun, topping with a generous portion of coleslaw, and covering with the top bun.

Step 12

Serve immediately and enjoy the delicious dairy-free brisket sandwiches.
