  • Total Time: 4 hours 15 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 lbs beef brisket, well-marbled cut
  • 2 medium sweet onions, sliced
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup pumpkin-flavored beverage, non-alcoholic variety
  • 1 cup Monterey Jack cheese, freshly shredded
  • 1 cup Cheddar cheese, freshly shredded
  • 4 crusty bread rolls, preferably day-old
  • Salt to taste, coarse varieties preferred
  • Black pepper to taste, coarse varieties preferred

Instructions

  1. Prep: Season brisket with salt and pepper, place in roasting pan (5 minutes, generous seasoning)
  2. Aromatics: Sauté onions until golden, add garlic for 1 minute (10-11 minutes, medium heat)
  3. Slow Cook: Add liquid and aromatics to brisket, cover with foil (4 hours at 300°F)
  4. Assembly: Shred brisket, build sandwiches with cheese, broil until golden (5 minutes, watch closely)

Notes

  • Let brisket rest 10 minutes before shredding for easier handling
  • Save cooking liquid to add moisture when reheating leftovers
  • Toast bread lightly before assembly to prevent sogginess
  • Keep oven temperature at exactly 300°F throughout cooking to prevent drying out the meat
