Instructions

1

Pat the lean brisket dry and cut into 1-inch cubes. Heat a heavy-bottomed pan over medium-high heat and sear the beef until deeply browned on all sides, about 5-6 minutes.

2

Add the diced tomatillos and the Mexican-style tomato sauce with peppers and garlic to the pan. Reduce heat to low, cover, and braise for 35-40 minutes until the meat is fork-tender and the tomatillos have broken down into a thick, vibrant sauce.

3

While the beef braises, warm the corn tortillas directly over a gas flame for 10-15 seconds per side until slightly charred and pliable.

4

Once the beef is tender, fold in half the fresh cilantro to brighten the sauce.

5

Plate the braised brisket and sauce alongside the warm tortillas. Top with the remaining fresh cilantro and serve immediately while the sauce is bubbling and fragrant.
