Ingredients

• 4 pounds beef brisket
• 2 teaspoons salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 yellow onion, sliced
• 4 garlic cloves, minced
• 12 ounces Coca-Cola
• 1 cup beef broth
• 2 tablespoons tomato paste
• 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C).

Step 2

Trim any excess fat from the brisket, leaving a thin layer for flavor.

Step 3

In a small bowl, mix together the salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and smoked paprika.

Step 4

Rub the spice mixture evenly all over the brisket, ensuring it's well coated.

Step 5

Heat the olive oil in a large ovenproof skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat.

Step 6

Sear the brisket on both sides for 3-4 minutes each until a golden-brown crust forms. Remove the brisket and set it aside.

Step 7

In the same pan, add the sliced onion and minced garlic. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until fragrant and slightly caramelized.

Step 8

Add the Coca-Cola, beef broth, tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, and brown sugar to the pan. Stir to combine, scraping any brown bits from the bottom of the pan.

Step 9

Return the brisket to the pan, making sure it's partially submerged in the liquid. Spoon some of the liquid over the top of the brisket.

Step 10

Cover the pan with a lid or aluminum foil and transfer it to the preheated oven.

Step 11

Cook for 3.5-4 hours, basting the brisket with the liquid every hour, until the meat is tender and easily pulls apart with a fork.

Step 12

Remove the brisket from the oven and let it rest for 15 minutes before slicing against the grain.

Step 13

Serve the brisket with the pan sauce drizzled on top, alongside your favorite sides such as mashed potatoes or roasted vegetables.
