Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 21

1 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/8 teaspoon ground allspice
Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper
One 3-pound brisket
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 bay leaves
2 onions, cut into large chunks
2 carrots, cut into large chunks
One 15-ounce can diced tomatoes
2 cups cola
12 mini pretzel slider buns, for serving
Homemade Ranch, recipe follows
Pickled jalapenos, for serving
1 cup Greek yogurt
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon juice from pickled jalapenos, optional
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill
2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives
1 teaspoon onion powder

Steps:

Position a rack on the lowest part of the oven. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
Mix together the onion powder, paprika, allspice, 2 teaspoons salt and 1 teaspoon pepper in a small bowl. Rub the spice mix all over the brisket.
Heat a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the oil and then the brisket. Sear on all sides to a deep golden brown, about 7 minutes. Nestle the bay leaves, onions and carrots around the brisket. Pour the tomatoes and cola over the meat and vegetables and bring to a simmer. Cover and cook until the meat is very tender, about 3 hours.
Uncover the pot and let the meat and vegetables rest in the juices until no longer steaming, about 30 minutes. Slice the brisket against the grain into 1/4-inch slices.
Serve the brisket slices on pretzel rolls buns with Homemade Ranch and pickled jalapenos.
Mix together the yogurt, mayonnaise and pickle juice, if using in a small bowl. Add the parsley, dill, chives and onion powder and mix until smooth and combined.
