Ingredients
Scale
Meat:
- 2 lbs (907 g) beef brisket, trimmed
- 1 tablespoon (15 ml) olive oil
Seasoning:
- 1 cup (240 ml) BBQ sauce
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Sides and Garnish:
- 2 large potatoes, peeled and cubed
- 1/4 cup (60 ml) milk
- 2 tablespoons (30 g) butter
- 1 cup (150 g) cooked green beans
- Chopped chives, for garnish
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Infuse the brisket with a zesty blend of BBQ sauce, olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Allow the meat to marinate in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to 2 hours, letting the flavors deeply penetrate the protein.
- Select a grill or smoker to cook the brisket, ensuring low and slow preparation until the meat becomes incredibly tender and effortlessly pulls apart. Carefully shred the cooked brisket into succulent, bite-sized pieces.
- Prepare the creamy mashed potatoes by boiling cubed potatoes in generously salted water until they reach a soft, easily mashable consistency. Drain thoroughly, then whip with milk and butter until achieving a silky, smooth texture. Season with salt and pepper to enhance the flavor profile.
- Construct the bowls by creating a foundation of velvety mashed potatoes and vibrant green beans. Crown the vegetables with the richly seasoned, tender shredded brisket. Finish by sprinkling freshly chopped chives across the top for a burst of color and mild onion essence.
Notes
- Let brisket marinate longer for deeper flavor infusion, ideally overnight in the refrigerator for maximum taste development.
- Use low and slow cooking method for brisket to ensure maximum tenderness, which breaks down tough muscle fibers effectively.
- Consider using a meat thermometer to check internal temperature, aiming for 195-205°F for perfect shredding consistency.
- Swap butter with olive oil or plant-based alternatives for dairy-free or vegan modifications, maintaining creamy mashed potato texture.
