Provided by Alex Guarnaschelli

Time 4h

Yield 8-10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 heads garlic, unpeeled and halved crosswise, plus 6 cloves garlic
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt
4 to 4 1/2 pounds brisket
Freshly ground pepper
1 tablespoon smoked paprika
1 tablespoon chili powder
3 tablespoons canola oil
3 large red onions, halved and thinly sliced
1/4 cup packed dark brown sugar
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
1 cup dry red wine
2 cups beef stock
2 bay leaves
16 to 20 small flour tortillas
Red cabbage slaw, for topping (below)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Place the halved garlic heads in a single layer on a sheet of foil. Drizzle with the olive oil and season with salt. Fold the foil into a packet; roast until tender, about 45 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, cook the brisket: Pulse the 6 garlic cloves in a food processor to make a paste. Season both sides of the brisket with salt, pepper, the paprika and chili powder. Heat 2 tablespoons canola oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Working in batches if necessary, add the meat to the pot in a single layer and brown on both sides, about 5 minutes total. Remove the meat from the pot and spread with the garlic paste.
  • Drain the oil and wipe out the Dutch oven. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon canola oil to the pot and warm over medium heat. Add the onions and cook 5 minutes. Season with salt and stir in the brown sugar; cook 5 minutes. Stir in the vinegar and cook 2 minutes. Return the brisket to the pot, add the wine and simmer, 25 minutes. Add the stock and bay leaves and return to a simmer. Cover, transfer to the oven and cook until the meat is tender, 2 hours to 2 hours, 30 minutes.
  • Remove the brisket from the pot and let rest 15 minutes. Meanwhile, discard the bay leaves and put the pot with the braising liquid over medium heat; simmer until thickened, about 20 minutes. Squeeze the roasted garlic out of its skin and whisk into the liquid. Taste and season with salt and pepper, if necessary. Thinly slice the brisket against the grain and toss with some of the roasted garlic sauce. Warm the tortillas; fill with the brisket and top with slaw.
  • Combine 1 small head shaved red cabbage, 4 sliced scallions, 3 tablespoons red wine vinegar, a splash of olive oil and a dab of Sriracha in a bowl; season with salt. Set aside to allow the vinegar to work its magic.

These tacos were amazing! The brisket was cooked perfectly and the slaw was the perfect complement. I would definitely make these again.

The brisket tacos were a bit too fatty for my taste, but the slaw was delicious. I would recommend using a leaner cut of brisket next time.

I'm not usually a fan of brisket, but these tacos changed my mind. The meat was so moist and delicious, and the slaw was a great addition. I will definitely be making these again.
