Dutch Oven Bbq Beef Recipes

BASIC BEEF BRISKET IN A DUTCH OVEN

Steps:

• Sprinkle brisket with seasoned salt and black pepper.
• Heat oil in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Sear brisket in hot oil until browned on both sides. Transfer brisket to a large plate. Cook and stir onions and garlic in the Dutch oven until vegetables are softened, about 6 minutes. Return brisket to the Dutch oven.
• Whisk beef broth, ketchup, brown sugar, vinegar, chili powder, bay leaves, and cayenne pepper together in a bowl; drizzle broth mixture over brisket.
• Bring beef mixture to a boil; reduce heat to low and cover. Simmer until beef is very tender and easily falls apart when pulled with a fork, 2 1/2 to 3 hours. Remove and discard bay leaves. Transfer beef to a platter, reserving liquid in the Dutch oven. Slice beef.
• Whisk water and flour together in a small bowl; stir into the Dutch oven and bring to a boil until sauce is thickened. Serve sauce over sliced brisket.

SHREDDED BBQ BEEF

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325°.
• In a small bowl mix together all the BBQ Seasoning ingredients. Expert Tip - make sure all the brown sugar clumps are separated before moving on.
• Reserve 2 tbsp of the BBQ Seasoning and set aside.
• Pat the beef dry with paper towels. Then cut it into 3 inch chunks. Discard any large pieces of white fat.
• Season all sides of the beef with the BBQ Seasoning.
• In a large pot (that has a lid, like a Dutch oven) whisk together the beef broth, Worcestershire and tomato paste. Add the onions and garlic to the pot.
• Place the seasoned beef pieces on top of the onions in the pot.Expert Tip- mop up any excess seasoning with the beef pieces before placing in the pot.
• Pop the lid on and place in the preheated oven for 3 hours, until the beef shreds easily.Expert Tip- if at the end of 3 hours your beef is not tender, add 20 minute increments until it is ready.
• Remove the beef pieces from the pot, place on a rimmed baking sheet and shred with 2 forks.Remove any large pieces of fat you may come across.
• Optionally you can add the garlic and cooked onions from the braising liquid to your shredded beef. The actual braising liquid is discarded in this recipe. It can tend to be quite greasy and would also make your bbq beef greasy.
• Sprinkle 1/2 of the reserved BBQ Seasoning over the shredded beef and toss to coat. Give it a taste and add more seasoning to your liking.
• Mix the beef with 1/2 cup of your favorite BBQ Sauce.
• Serve the Shredded BBQ Beef on buns or rolls with additional BBQ sauce, coleslaw, pickles and/or cheese.... whatever toppings you like!

DUTCH OVEN BBQ BEEF
