Ingredients
For this recipe, I’ve drawn on ingredients that bring together the best of both hot pot and BBQ. Here’s what you’ll need to create this delightful meal:
- 1 pound beef brisket, sliced thinly
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon hoisin sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 teaspoons ground ginger
- 1 red bell pepper, sliced
- 1 yellow onion, sliced
- 2 cups mixed mushrooms (shiitake, button, oyster), sliced
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 2 tablespoons BBQ sauce
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh cilantro, chopped, for garnish
If you’d like to mix things up, you can substitute the beef with chicken thighs or even tofu for a vegetarian twist. The mushrooms can also be swapped out for your preferred varieties, such as portobello or cremini.

- Heat the sesame oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the garlic and ginger, sautéing until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes. This step always reminds me of my mum’s kitchen, where the smell of garlic and ginger signaled something delicious was about to happen.
- Add the sliced beef brisket to the pot, cooking until browned on all sides, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
- Stir in the sliced onion and bell pepper, cooking until they begin to soften, approximately 3-4 minutes.
- Pour in the chicken broth, soy sauce, and hoisin sauce. Bring the mixture to a simmer, allowing the flavors to meld together for 10 minutes.
- Mix in the mushrooms and cherry tomatoes, followed by the BBQ sauce and brown sugar. Continue to simmer for another 15 minutes, letting the sauce thicken slightly.
- Taste and adjust seasoning as needed, adding more salt, pepper, or soy sauce if desired.
- Remove from heat and garnish with freshly chopped cilantro before serving.
