Braised Cuban Style Brisket Point

8 hr 20 min
20 min prep
8 hr cook

Serves 8

Ingredients

  • 10 Garlic cloves, crushed
  • 1/2 cup Fresh cilantro, loosely packed
  • 1 Large Fresh grapefruit, juiced
  • 1 tbsp Kosher salt, plus more as needed to taste
  • 1 cup Fresh orange juice
  • 2 1/2 lb Brisket point
  • 1 tbsp Ground black pepper
  • 1 tbsp Ground cumin
  • 2 Large Limes, juiced
  • 1 tbsp Mexican Oregano
  • 1 Medium White onions, chopped into chunks

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 250°F.
  2. In a blender, combine orange, grapefruit, and lime juice, cilantro, garlic, cumin, oregano, onion and 1 tablespoon each salt and pepper.
  3. Blend until smooth set aside. Set a large dutch oven over medium high heat and sear brisket point fat side down.
  4. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes then flip. Add mojo to pan and bring it to a simmer.
  5. Place lid on pot and into oven. Braise for at least 4 to 5 hours or until meat falls apart tender.
  6. Optional: My favorite way to serve this is to place some shredded brisket onto a baguette along with mustard, pickles and swiss cheese. Press in a panini press or just bake at 350°F for 5 minutes to just melt cheese.
  7. Chef's Note: This recipe can also be made in a smoker. Simply marinate brisket overnight in mojo then smoke until tender. Place reserve marinade into a pot and bring to a boil to reduce by half, add reduced liquid to shredded brisket.
