Ingredients

SERVINGS: 4
Marinade
  • 1 medium onion
  • ¼ cup apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon mustard
  • ¼ cup hoisin sauce
  • 1 teaspoon Liquid Smoke
Cilantro Avocado Cream
  • 1 ripe avocado
  • 3 tablespoons plain yogurt
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • ¼ cup cilantro, chopped
  • 3 tablespoons chives, chopped
  • 1 jalapeno, chopped (optional)
  • 1 garlic clove, chopped
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
Apple
  • 1 lime, zested and juiced
  • 1 Honeycrisp apple, thinly sliced or julienned
  • ¼ small fennel bulb, julienned
  • 1 stalk celery, thinly sliced crosswise
  • 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
  • 1 jalapeno, thinly sliced (optional)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

Pat beef brisket dry and place in a plastic bag. Add hoisin sauce to bag, seal, and then shake until sauce is well distributed around beef. Set aside for at least 1 hour, or overnight in the refrigerator.

Preheat oven to 300℉. Place brisket in a pot and add remaining marinade ingredients. Mix and turn brisket until it is well covered. Cover pot and cook in oven for 4-5 hours, until internal temperature reaches 200℉. Remove from oven, remove lid, and allow to rest for 30-60 minutes. When done, remove from pot and slice into thin steaks.

While brisket is cooking, prepare cream and apple slaw. For cream, add all ingredients to a blender and process until smooth. Set aside. For apple slaw, slice all ingredients, transfer to a large mixing bowl, then toss until well combined.

When ready to serve, lightly toast tortillas and spread a layer of cilantro avocado cream inside each. Layer 2-3 slices of brisket on top, then add apple slaw. Garnish with hemp seeds and pickled onions (optional) and serve!
