Name: Braised Beef Brisket with Black Bean and Cilantro Stew
Prep time: 15 min
Cook time: 125 min
Total time: 140 min
Yield: 2 servings
Ingredients: 1.2 pounds beef brisket (point or flat cut); kosher salt and black pepper; 2 tablespoons high-heat oil; 2 medium onions, 1 halved, 1 diced; 4 cloves garlic, minced; 1 can (14 ounces) crushed tomatoes; 1 can (15 ounces) black beans, drained and rinsed; 1 cup beef stock; 1 bay leaf; 2 teaspoons cumin; 1 teaspoon smoked paprika; ½ cup fresh cilantro, roughly chopped; juice of 1 lime; 1 tablespoon unsalted butter

Beef brisket, seared until caramelized and then braised low and slow with black beans, charred onion, and cilantro, becomes fall-apart tender and deeply flavorful. This is confident home cooking: a real braise with proper technique (the sear, the low oven, the finish), bold flavors, and soul. The Brazilian touches (cilantro, black beans) feel natural, not forced.
