Categories     main-dish

Time P1DT7h10m

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 cans beef consomme
1 1/2 cups soy sauce
1/2 cup fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons liquid smoke
5 cloves garlic, chopped
10 pounds beef brisket
Prepared barbecue sauce, for serving, optional

Steps:

  • Combine the beef consomme, soy sauce, lemon juice, liquid smoke and garlic in a large roasting pan (a disposable is just fine). Place the brisket in the marinade, fat-side up. Cover tightly with foil. Marinate in the refrigerator for 24 to 48 hours.
  • When ready to cook, preheat the oven to 300 degrees F.
  • Cook the brisket in the foil-covered pan until fork-tender, about 40 minutes per pound (6 to 7 hours). Transfer to a cutting board, slice against the grain and put the slices back into the cooking liquid. Serve immediately, spooning the juice over the slices. (Barbecue sauce may be used, if preferred.)
  • You may store the pan in the fridge for up to 2 days, or freeze for use at a later date. If fat collects and hardens at the top, remove and discard.
  • Brisket is great with mashed potatoes, with the juice spooned over the top. It is also great on a sandwich with melted cheese.

MARINATED BEEF BRISKET

This is a combination of a half dozen different recipes that turned out even better than I expected. It's delicious and easy to make, but it takes a lot of setting time. Prep time DOES include marinating time!

Provided by Toby Jermain

Categories     Roast Beef

Time P5DT6h

Yield 4-5 lb edible meat, 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

10 lbs packer trimmed beef brisket (Cryovac packed, about, the bigger the better)
1/2 cup orange juice
1/4 cup fresh lime juice
1/4 cup ketchup
2 tablespoons reduced sodium soy sauce
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1 -2 teaspoon Asian chili sauce, such as sriracha,to taste
2 -4 tablespoons dried onion flakes, to taste
2 -3 teaspoons garlic granules, to taste
1 -2 teaspoon lemon & herb seasoning, to taste
1 -2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper, to taste
1 -2 teaspoon creole seasoning, to taste
1 -2 teaspoon seasoning salt, to taste
1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
2 (14 1/2 ounce) cans low sodium chicken broth or 2 (14 1/2 ounce) cans water, to dilute salty pan drippings
4 -5 cups water, to dilute pan drippings,as needed

Steps:

  • Carefully slit just one end of the Cryovac bag, and remove the brisket, saving the bag.
  • Rinse off the brisket, trim off any surface that looks like age, but leave on as much of the fat as possible, rinse again, and set aside.
  • Rinse out bag, and set aside.
  • You will be using it to marinate the meat if you don't have any giant food-safe bags.
  • Alternately, you can use a roasting bag, such as the ones made by Reynolds.
  • Do not use a garbage bag.
  • They are not food-safe!
  • Combine all of the liquid ingredients in a small bowl, except for the olive oil, and stir to combine.
  • Add all of the dry ingredients, and stir to dissolve whatever is likely to dissolve.
  • Start with the minimal amounts of spices, and work your way upward, stirring and tasting as you go.
  • The marinade should be quite spicy!
  • Whisk the olive oil into the marinade.
  • Return the brisket to the Cryovac bag, and add the marinade, letting it drizzle down the sides of the meat.
  • Squeeze out as much air as possible, and staple the end shut; the easiest way to do this is to fill the sink with water and let the water help do the squeezing.
  • Massage the marinade into the meat, seal the Cryovac bag into a garbage bag to contain leaks, and it WILL leak!
  • Place in the refrigerator, and marinate in refrigerator for at least 2 days, preferably longer, up to 5 days, massaging and turning over 2-3 times a day.
  • Fold together the edge of 2 large pieces of heavy-duty foil to make a single piece large enough to enclose meat.
  • Place the meat and marinade on the foil, seal it in, folding up all edges to seal.
  • Alternately, place meat and the marinade in a large roasting bag, squeeze out air, and close the bag (I thought of this after the fact, of course!).
  • Place meat on a rack in a roasting pan, fat side up so it will self baste, and roast in a 250-275 degree F for about 4-5 hours, until it reaches an internal temperature of about 130 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer.
  • Carefully cut open the bag to expose meat, being careful not to burn yourself with the hot juices.
  • Poke a couple hole in the bottom to let juices drain into the pan, and pull out bag or foil from under the meat, letting meat rest on the roasting rack.
  • Return to oven, and continue roasting until internal temperature of meat reaches 150 degrees F, about another 1 hour or less.
  • The meat will be pretty well done, but it will still be juicy due to the slow cooking.
  • Remove roasting pan from oven, and allow brisket to rest at least 15 minutes before cutting.
  • Trim off and discard all external fat before carving across the grain.
  • Strain and degrease the pan drippings to use for jus or gravy.
  • The drippings will be WAY TOO SALTY and SPICY to use as-is, so dilute to taste with low-sodium canned chicken broth and water before using or freezing.
  • I ended up needing 2 cans of chicken broth and 4 cups of water to dilute 4 cups of drippings, and the jus was still very tasty!

Tips:

  • Choose the right cut of beef brisket. Brisket is a tough cut of meat, so it needs to be cooked slowly and at a low temperature. The best cuts for brisket are the flat cut and the point cut. The flat cut is leaner and has a more uniform shape, while the point cut is fattier and has a more complex flavor.
  • Use a good marinade. A marinade will help to tenderize the brisket and infuse it with flavor. There are many different marinade recipes available, so you can choose one that suits your taste. Some common ingredients in brisket marinades include soy sauce, brown sugar, garlic, onion, and herbs.
  • Cook the brisket slowly and at a low temperature. Brisket is a tough cut of meat, so it needs to be cooked slowly and at a low temperature in order to become tender. The best way to cook brisket is in a smoker or a slow cooker. If you are using a smoker, cook the brisket at a temperature of 225 degrees Fahrenheit for 8-12 hours. If you are using a slow cooker, cook the brisket on low for 8-10 hours.
  • Let the brisket rest before slicing. Once the brisket is cooked, let it rest for at least 30 minutes before slicing. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful brisket.

Conclusion:

Beef brisket is a delicious and versatile cut of meat that can be enjoyed in a variety of ways. By following these tips, you can cook a perfect brisket every time. Whether you are smoking it, braising it, or cooking it in a slow cooker, brisket is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
