- 4 pounds beef brisket
- 1 cup fresh or frozen cranberries
- 1 cup beef broth
- 1 medium onion, sliced
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C).
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.
- In a large bowl, combine the cranberries, beef broth, brown sugar, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, thyme, black pepper, and salt. Mix well.
- Place the brisket in a roasting pan and pour the cranberry mixture over it. Spread the sautéed onions and garlic on top of the brisket.
- Cover the roasting pan tightly with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 3 to 4 hours, or until the brisket is tender.
- Remove the foil and bake for an additional 30 minutes to caramelize the top.
- Once done, let the brisket rest for 15 minutes before slicing against the grain. Serve with the cranberry sauce drizzled on top.
Notes
- For a spicier kick, add 1 teaspoon of red pepper flakes to the cranberry mixture.
- Substitute the beef brisket with pork shoulder for a different flavor profile. Adjust cooking time as needed for tenderness.
