Beef Brisket Coke Recipe
This Coca-Cola beef brisket recipe uses the tangy and sweet flavor of Coca-Cola to tenderize and enhance the brisket. The brisket is marinated in a mixture of Coca-Cola, brown sugar, garlic, and spices, then slow-cooked in a crockpot or oven until tender. It’s perfect for special occasions or everyday meals, offering a juicy, flavorful dish that pairs well with sides like mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, and coleslaw.
Ingredients
- 1 flat cut or point cut brisket about 1-2 pounds
- 1 cup of Coca-Cola
- 1/4 cup of brown sugar
- 3 cloves of garlic minced
- 1 teaspoon of spices such as paprika, salt, and black pepper
Instructions
Prepare the Brisket:
- Trim any excess fat from the brisket for even seasoning.
- Season the brisket with your preferred spices (paprika, salt, black pepper) evenly on both sides.
Make the Marinade:
- In a bowl, mix the Coca-Cola, brown sugar, and minced garlic.
- Pour the marinade over the seasoned brisket, ensuring it is fully coated.
- Let the brisket marinate in the refrigerator for several hours (ideally 4-6 hours, or overnight for best results).
Cook the Brisket:
- For Slow Cooker:Place the marinated brisket in a slow cooker and set it to cook on low for 8-10 hours, or until the brisket is tender.
- For Oven:Preheat the oven to 300°F (150°C).Place the brisket in a roasting pan and cook for 3-4 hours, basting the brisket with the marinade every 30 minutes to keep it moist.
Check the Temperature:
- Use a meat thermometer to ensure the brisket reaches an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C) for safe consumption.
Rest the Brisket:
- Once cooked, allow the brisket to rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing to allow the juices to redistribute.
Serve:
- Slice the brisket thinly, serve with the marinade on the side, and garnish with fresh herbs like parsley or thyme for added color.
