Step 1
In a medium bowl add pears, green onions, ginger, honey, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame seed oil, mesquite liquid smoke, Nielsen-Massey Pure Vanilla Extract, Nielsen-Massey Pure Orange Extract, garlic powder, chili pepper flakes, and salt. Stir to combine.
Step 2
Slice brisket in half, across the grain. Place brisket pieces in the bottom of a sealable plastic bag, standing on end so marinade is evenly distributed. Pour marinade ingredients over brisket. Squeeze air out of bag and tightly seal. Place in a large bowl and refrigerate overnight.
Step 3
Preheat oven to 350⁰F. Coat a small roasting pan with cooking spray and add 1-2 tablespoons of water to pan bottom. Remove brisket from marinade and discard leftover marinade. Place brisket in roasting pan and add salt and pepper. Do not cover pan and place in oven.
Step 4
After 1 hour of roasting, add container of reserved beef broth. Reduce oven temperature to 325⁰F. Cover tightly and continue roasting, until fork tender, about 2 1⁄2 hours.
Step 5
Trim excess fat and thinly slice brisket across the grain; return slices to pan of beef broth or place on a serving platter and spoon broth over slices. Serve on toasted baguette with lettuce, tomato slices and Vanilla Chili Aioli.
