Best Chipotle Lime Smoked Brisket Recipes

EASY SLOW COOKER CHIPOTLE BEEF BRISKET

Steps:

• Place garlic, lemon juice, brown sugar, oil, salt, black pepper, oregano, onion powder, cumin, chipotle peppers, and adobo sauce in a small food processor. Pulse until well combined, and a paste is formed.
• Rub the brisket with the chipotle paste, rubbing it thoroughly on all sides. If time permits, leave it for 30 minutes to 24 hours in the fridge to marinade.
• Place orange juice, chicken broth, liquid smoke, and bay leaves in the slow cooker; mix to combine. Add seasoned brisket into a slow cooker. Cover with the lid.
• Slow cook for 8 hours (1.5 kg / 3 lb) to 10 hours (2 kg / 4 lb).
• When the time is over, remove the brisket onto a plate or tray.
• Strain the cooking juices. Pour cooking juices in slow cooker into a saucepan. Bring to simmer over medium-high heat and reduce until it thickens to a syrup consistency, about 10 - 15 minutes.
• Turn on the broil of your oven. Line one baking sheet with foil and spray with cooking oil.
• Place brisket onto a baking sheet, baste generously with sauce, broil for 3 - 4 minutes. Then remove and baste again, then return to oven for 3 - 4 more minutes until it caramelizes.
• Cover the brisket with foil and let it rest 15 - 20 minutes before slicing. Slice brisket thinly across the grain and serve with remaining sauce.

3-INGREDIENT CHIPOTLE-LIME GRILLED STEAK

Steps:

• Blend chile, adobo sauce, 1 tsp. lime zest, lime juice, oil, 1 1/2 tsp. salt, and 1 tsp. pepper in a blender until smooth. Place steak in a large resealable plastic bag, pour marinade over, and toss to coat. Marinate, tossing occasionally, at least 30 minutes at room temperature, or chill overnight.
• If chilled, let steak sit at room temperature 30 minutes. Prepare a grill or grill pan for medium-high heat. Remove steak from marinade; discard marinade. Grill steak until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of steak registers 120-125°F for medium-rare, 2-3 minutes per side for skirt; 3-4 minutes per side for flank. Let rest 10 minutes before thinly slicing against the grain (to make slicing easier for skirt steak, cut into 5-6" segments, then slice against the grain).
• Transfer to a platter and top with remaining 1/2 tsp. lime zest; season with salt and pepper. Serve with lime wedges alongside.

BEEF BRISKET WITH CHIPOTLE TOMATILLO SAUCE

Steps:

• Place the tomatillos, chipotle peppers, tomato sauce, water, salt, and brown sugar in the work bowl of a food processor, and blend until smooth. Set the mixture aside.
• Heat the olive oil in a pressure cooker with the lid off over medium heat, and cook and stir the onion and garlic until the onions are translucent, about 3 minutes. Drop the brisket into the pressure cooker, and sear it on both sides. Pour the tomatillo mixture over the brisket, bring to a boil, and place the lid on the cooker. When the pressure comes up, set the heat so the cooker develops medium pressure, and cook for 1 hour and 15 minutes.
• Allow the cooker to release pressure on its own (without using the quick-release), and remove the brisket. Serve hot, with tomatillo sauce on the side.
