Beef brisket slider sandwiches with ranch dressing

Ingredients:

Beef brisket

• 1 tsp onion powder
• 0.5 tsp paprika
• 1/8 tsp ground allspice
• 1 beef brisket (brisket) weighing 1.3 kg.
• 2 tbsp. l. olive oil
• 2 bay leaves
• 2 onions, cut into large slices
• 2 carrots, cut into large slices
• 1 can (425 g) diced tomatoes
• 2 tbsp. cola
• 12 pretzel-flavored sliders
• Homemade Ranch Dressing
• Pickled Jalapeño Rings

Homemade Ranch Dressing

• 1 cup Greek yogurt
• 1/4 cup mayonnaise
• 1 tablespoon brine from a jar of pickled jalapeños, optional
• 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
• 2 tbsp chopped fresh dill
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives
• 1 tsp onion powder

Preparation:

1. Position a rack at the very bottom of the oven. Preheat the oven to 160°C.
2. In a small bowl, combine the onion powder, paprika, allspice, 2 teaspoons salt, and 1 teaspoon black pepper. Rub the spice mixture all over the brisket.
3. Heat a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the oil, then the brisket. Sear on all sides until golden brown, about 7 minutes. Arrange the bay leaf, onion, and carrot around the brisket. Pour the tomatoes and cola over the meat and vegetables and bring to a simmer. Cover and simmer until the meat is very tender, about 3 hours.
4. Remove the lid from the pan and let the meat and vegetables sit in the juices until the steam stops, about 30 minutes. Slice the brisket against the grain into 0.5 cm thick slices.
5. Serve brisket slices on buns with homemade ranch dressing and pickled jalapeños.
