Notes
Tiffy’s Tips
- You can make homemade sofrito or this is a great option!
- I prefer using a crockpot but have had wonderful results using an Instant Pot pressure cooker. Another great option is using a Dutch Oven either on the stovetop or in the oven.
- The brisket is a beef cut that requires low heat and a longer cooking time to ensure tenderness. Though not a ‘quick’ recipe, it couldn’t be easier.
- The serving options are seriously endless. My family loves making this recipe into sliders and tacos. You can also serve on top of a baked potato, a wrap, in enchiladas, or for breakfast with eggs.
- This recipe freezes well, so I recommend storing leftovers in a freezer safe container and pulling out to serve at a later date.
- If you don’t have minced garlic on hand, you can use dried minced garlic as an alternative. Conversion is as follows: 1 fresh garlic clove, minced to ½ teaspoon dried, minced garlic.
