Low FODMAP Oven Braised BBQ Brisket
We love brisket! And Oven Braised BBQ Brisket is super easy to make – you start it on the stove and then it finishes cooking in the oven.
It is braised in a rich, flavorful sauce in the oven for a long period of time, but it can be unattended, so don’t be put off by the time cues below.
This Oven Braised BBQ Brisket is a powerhouse of flavor and takes advantage of FODY BBQ Sauce, which we embellish with some additional seasonings.
Beef brisket can be tough cut of meat, which is why we like braising it and take the approach of a low temperature and lengthy cooking time.
It will become so tender that you will be able to shred it with a fork.
We like it best on a soft gluten-free roll (like Udi’s Hamburger Buns) topped with some sort of fresh, crunchy slaw.
We have also served this at an unconventional Passover seder!
Oven Braised BBQ Brisket
Serve our Oven Braised BBQ Brisket on a roll with slaw, or on a plate with your choice of sides.
Ingredients:
- 3 to 3 1/2 pound (1.4 kg to 1.6 kg) brisket, preferably flat cut, patted dry
- Freshly ground black pepper
- Kosher salt
- 2 tablespoons FODY Garlic-Infused Olive Oil, divided
- 1 cup (72 g) chopped leeks, green parts only
- 1/2 cup (32 g) chopped scallions, green parts only
- 2, 12-ounce (340 g) bottles FODY BBQ Sauce
- 1/2 cup (120 ml) water
- 1/4 cup (120 ml) cider vinegar
- 1/4 cup (54 g) firmly packed light brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
Preparation:
-
Preheat oven to 300°F/150°C.
-
Season both sides of the brisket liberally with black pepper and lightly with salt.
-
Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a 5 quart (4.7 L) Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Sear both sides of the brisket, until browned, about 5 minutes each side. Remove and set aside.
-
Add remaining 1 tablespoon garlic-infused oil to pot, turn heat down to low-medium, add leek and scallion greens and sauté, stirring frequently, until softened but not browned, about 2 minutes. Whisk in BBQ sauce, water, cider vinegar, brown sugar, cumin, mustard, paprika, thyme and Worcestershire sauce, turn heat up and bring to a boil, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan and combining everything well. Add meat back to pan; liquid should come almost to the top of the brisket. Spoon some of the sauce on top of the brisket. Seal top of pot with aluminum foil, place lid on top of foil and place in oven.
-
Braise in the oven for 3 hours. Brisket should be fork tender. Remove brisket to a carving platter and cover with aluminum foil to keep warm while it rests for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, taste the sauce, adjust seasoning as desired. Slice the meat against the grain, or shred with two forks, and serve with sauce. (Reheat in sauce, if necessary). Serve with potatoes, grits, or pile up on a roll with slaw as seen in image. Brisket may be made up to 3 days ahead. Simply store in the sauce and reheat on top of stove.

Tips
- We absolutely love Fody BBQ Sauce and this recipe is built around it. If you use a different BBQ Sauce I cannot vouch for the final flavor of the dish.

Looks interesting, but you list 2 2 oz bottles of BBQ sauce. That should probably be 2 12 oz bottles.
Oh! Thank goodness the metric was correct. Thank you for pointing out the omission. It has been corrected.

This looks delicious! I just got some beef chuck roast and was looking to do something like this in the crock pot. Have you tried this before or have any suggestions? Thanks!
Hi there, every slow cooker is different, I made this in the oven, and you would using a different cut of beef, so it will be an experiment – but I encourage you to go for it.
Hi there!
Thanks a lot for the recipe!
I was just wondering about the Worcestershire Sauce: It contains garlic and onions. Is it still low FODMAP because of the amount used? I am new to FODMAP and I tought onions and garlic were always a no-go 🙂
Great question! The diet is Low Fodmap, not no FODMAP. We strongly recommend that everyone have an use the Monash smart phone app. You would be able to look up Worcestershire sauce very quickly and see that they have lab tested it and it has a Low Fodmap serving sizes which are represented in this recipe. Yes it contains garlic and onion but they are in such small amounts per serving that it is considered low FODMAP.
