Inspired by an Epicurious.com recipe for short ribs, this dish features a complex flavor profile — spiciness from chiles, bitterness from coffee, slight sweetness from maple syrup and acidity from lime juice. Flavors blend together in a warming and delicious symphony of taste. The slow cooking brings the brisket to the peak of tenderness. Serve brisket over a bed of mashed potatoes or polenta, and it's also good with crispy smashed potatoes on the side. Shred leftovers for taco filling or add to mac and cheese for a second tasty meal.
