Ingredient List

  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon Chinese 5-spice powder
  • 2 teaspoons fine sea salt or kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 2 to 3 lb fresh beef brisket flat (not corned beef)
  • 1 can (28 oz) Muir Glen™ Organic Whole Peeled Tomatoes undrained
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons fish sauce
  • 1 bulb garlic, peeled
  • 4 green onions
  • 1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1 lime, cut into wedges
  • 8 cups cooked white rice

Preparation

  1. In small bowl, mix honey, olive oil, Chinese 5-Spice powder, salt and pepper.
  2. Spray 6-quart slow cooker with cooking spray. Place brisket in slow cooker; rub honey mixture all over brisket.
  3. In another medium bowl, mix tomatoes, soy sauce, fish sauce and garlic. Cut green onion whites into 1-inch pieces; stir into mixture. Thinly slice green onion greens on the bias; cover and refrigerate. Pour tomato mixture over brisket. Cover and cook on Low heat setting 8 to 10 hours or until meat is tender.
  4. Transfer brisket to cutting board; cool slightly. Cool liquid 10 minutes, then carefully puree in blender 30 to 90 seconds or until smooth, then return liquid to slow cooker.
