How to Make Honey Bourbon Glazed Brisket with Roasted Sweet Potato Mash
Start by preheating your oven to 325°F. Season the brisket generously with salt and pepper on all sides. In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, bourbon, brown sugar, Dijon mustard, garlic, and smoked paprika to create the incredible glaze.
Step 1: [Prep Work]
Start by preheating your oven to 325°F. Season the brisket generously with salt and pepper on all sides. In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, bourbon, brown sugar, Dijon mustard, garlic, and smoked paprika to create the incredible glaze.
Step 2: [Main Cooking Process]
Place the seasoned brisket in a large oven-safe Dutch oven or roasting pan. Pour the honey bourbon glaze over the top, making sure to coat the meat evenly. Cover the pan tightly with foil or a lid and roast for 3-4 hours, or until the brisket is fork-tender.
While the brisket is cooking, prepare the roasted sweet potato mash. Peel and dice the sweet potatoes into 1-inch cubes. Spread them out on a baking sheet and drizzle with a bit of olive oil, salt, and pepper. Roast for 25-30 minutes, or until the sweet potatoes are tender and caramelized.
Step 3: [Final Steps/Assembly]
Once the brisket is cooked through, remove it from the oven and let it rest for 10-15 minutes. This will allow the juices to redistribute, making the meat even more tender and flavorful.
In the meantime, transfer the roasted sweet potatoes to a large bowl. Add the butter and milk, and mash everything together until smooth and creamy. Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed.
Step 4: [Finishing Touches]
Slice the brisket against the grain and serve it alongside the roasted sweet potato mash. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley for a pop of color and freshness. Get ready for your guests to be completely blown away by this epic, flavor-packed dish!
Recipe Variations & Tips
- Spice it up: Add a pinch of smoked paprika or cayenne pepper to the glaze for an extra kick of heat.
- Potato swap: Try using russet or Yukon Gold potatoes instead of sweet potatoes for the mash.
- Bourbon-infused mash: Substitute some of the milk in the mash with a splash of bourbon for an even more intense flavor.
- Crunchy topping: Top the brisket with crispy fried onions or bacon bits for a delicious crunch.
No matter how you choose to customize this recipe, one thing’s for sure: it’s guaranteed to be an absolute sensation that will have your taste buds dancing with joy. This dish is the definition of a flavor explosion, and I promise it will leave you craving more. So what are you waiting for? Let’s get cooking and create something truly legendary!

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know when the brisket is done?
The brisket is ready when it’s fork-tender and easily shreds apart. You can test this by inserting a fork into the meat – it should glide in and out with minimal resistance. Another way to check is to use a meat thermometer, which should read 195-205°F when the brisket is fully cooked.
Can I make this dish in advance?
Absolutely! The brisket and sweet potato mash can both be prepared a day or two in advance. Just reheat everything gently before serving. The flavors will actually develop and intensify the longer it sits, making this dish even more epic and delicious.
What if I don’t like bourbon?
No problem! You can easily substitute the bourbon with an equal amount of apple cider, orange juice, or even strong coffee for a different twist on the glaze. The honey and Dijon will still provide plenty of bold, sweet and savory notes.
Can I make this in a slow cooker?
Definitely! This dish would be amazing in a slow cooker. Simply add the seasoned brisket and glaze ingredients to the slow cooker and cook on low for 8-10 hours, or until the meat is incredibly tender. Then prepare the sweet potato mash as directed.
What should I serve with this dish?
This Honey Bourbon Glazed Brisket with Roasted Sweet Potato Mash is a true flavor explosion, so you’ll want to keep the sides simple. A fresh green salad, roasted Brussels sprouts, or crusty bread would all be delicious accompaniments. You can also get creative with additional veggie sides like roasted carrots or sautéed greens.
