Mojo Pulled Beef

Mojo Pulled Beef:

• 10-12 garlic cloves

• ½ onion

• Juice of 3 oranges

• Juice of 3 limes 

• A few ground of freshly ground black pepper 

• 1 teaspoon oregano 

• 1 teaspoon cumin

• 1 teaspoon salt 

• ⅓ cup oil 

• 1 2-3 lb brisket or other well marbled beef 

Sandwich: 

• Cuban bread or italian hoagie bread, sliced in half 

• Thinly sliced red onion 

• Bread and butter pickles 

• Daiya provolone

1. In a blender, add the first 9 ingredients and blend until smooth. Pour into a container or pan and place the brisket inside the pan. Turn over so the entire thing is coated. Marinade for 4-24 hours 

2. Wrap your brisket in aluminum foil and place on a sheet pan. Bake at 275 F for 3 hours. Baste the brisket in its juices. Then cover the brisket and bake uncovered for another hour or two or until the brisket is fork tender. Keep basting every half an hour or so. 

3. Allow to rest 10 minutes before pulling and tossing with the marinade. 

4. Place some meat in a pan and top with the onions and “cheese” if using. Heat over medium- low heat. Pour in a couple of tablespoons of water and cover immediately to steam. Once the “cheese” is melted, about 2-3 minutes transfer it to your bread. Add the pickles and place back into your well oiled pan. Press down to create a crust and toast each side for about 2-3 minutes or until crusty and delicious.
