Ingredients(5)

Beef, brisket, flat half, boneless separable lean only, raw400.4 g
Rice, white, long-grain, regular, raw, enriched87.5 g
Coriander (cilantro) leaves, raw60g
Mexican style diced tomatoes with lime juice & cilantro150g
Mexican style tomato sauce with peppers, garlic & spices120g

Instructions

1

Preheat oven to 300 deg F (150 deg C).

2

Place the beef brisket in a heavy-bottomed Dutch oven. Pour the Mexican-style tomato sauce with peppers and garlic over the beef. Cover tightly and braise for 3 hours, or until the meat is fork-tender and pulls apart easily with a gentle tug.

3

While the beef braises, rinse the long-grain rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Cook the rice in a pot with 2 cups of water until fluffy and tender, about 18 minutes.

4

Once the rice is cooked, fold in the diced tomatoes with lime juice and cilantro, allowing the heat of the rice to bloom the aromatics.

5

Shred the beef directly into the braising liquid to absorb the spice-infused sauce.

6

To serve, mound a generous portion of the cilantro-lime rice into a bowl, top with the shredded brisket, and garnish with an extra handful of fresh cilantro for brightness.
