BRISKET WITH CRANBERRY GRAVY



Brisket with Cranberry Gravy image

The cranberry gravy is different than we are use to using with brisket. Normally I want to barbeque it, or smoke it, but this makes a nice change. Be sure to slice the brisket ACROSS the grain or it will loose the juices and be dry and tough. The grain does not go through the brisket straight, so be sure to keep turning the beef when the grain changes direction. That is an important secret!

MY FAVORITE BRISKET



My Favorite Brisket image

I've shared this recipe with many friends and co-workers. The flavor is fantastic. You'd never know the main sauce ingredient is cranberry. Being from New England, I love cranberries. Not everyone does. If your family thinks they don't like cranberries use the jellied the first time so there are no tell-tale berries. The brisket comes out so tender. Add some baby carrots along with the roast; they are so sweet. The gravy it makes is fabulous on mashed potatoes. It couldn't be easier. A guaranteed winner.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cut of beef brisket: Look for a brisket that is well-marbled with fat, as this will help keep the meat moist during cooking. Some popular cuts of brisket include the flat cut, the point cut, and the whole packer brisket (which includes both the flat and point cuts).
  • Use a good quality cranberry sauce: Homemade cranberry sauce is always best, but you can also use a store-bought variety if you're short on time. Just make sure to choose a sauce that is tart and not too sweet.
  • Don't overcook the brisket: Brisket is a tough cut of meat, so it needs to be cooked low and slow to tenderize it. The best way to do this is to braise it in a liquid, such as beef broth or water. The internal temperature of the brisket should reach 195 degrees Fahrenheit before it is done.
  • Make sure the gravy is thick and flavorful: The gravy is an important part of any beef brisket recipe. To make a thick and flavorful gravy, start by browning the brisket in a pot or Dutch oven. Then, add some chopped vegetables, such as onions, carrots, and celery. Finally, add some beef broth and let the mixture simmer until the vegetables are tender and the gravy has thickened.
  • Serve the brisket with your favorite sides: Beef brisket is a versatile dish that can be served with a variety of sides. Some popular options include mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, and coleslaw.

Conclusion:

Beef brisket is a delicious and flavorful dish that is perfect for a special occasion or a casual family meal. With a little planning and effort, you can easily make a delicious beef brisket recipe at home. Just follow the tips above and you're sure to end up with a dish that everyone will love.
