Irish Spiced Beef [0000722]

Ingredients:

2 pounds beef brisket or round roast
4 cups beef broth
2 onions, peeled and quartered
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 teaspoon ground cloves
1 teaspoon ground allspice
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
Salt, to taste

Instructions:

Prepare the Beef:

Rinse the beef under cold water and pat dry with paper towels.

Trim excess fat from the beef, if necessary.
Create the Spice Rub:

In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar, ground cloves, ground allspice, ground black pepper, and a pinch of salt.

Rub the Spice Mixture:

Rub the spice mixture evenly over the entire surface of the beef.

Sear the Beef:

Heat a skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
Sear the beef on all sides until nicely browned. Remove from heat and set aside.

Braise the Beef:

In the same skillet or Dutch oven, add the minced garlic and quartered onions.

Place the seared beef on top of the onions and garlic.
Pour in the beef broth until the beef is mostly covered.
Bring the broth to a gentle simmer.

Simmer and Cook:

Cover the skillet or Dutch oven with a lid.
Allow the beef to simmer on low heat for about 2.5 to 3 hours, or until the beef is tender and easily shreds with a fork.

Shred and Serve:

Once the beef is cooked, remove it from the broth and let it rest for a few minutes.

Shred the beef using two forks or your fingers.

Reduce the Broth:

If desired, you can reduce the broth in the skillet by simmering it over medium heat until it thickens slightly.

Serve:

Serve the tender spiced beef over a bed of mashed potatoes, alongside roasted vegetables, or in gluten-free sandwiches.
