BRISKET IN COFFEE-BARBECUE SAUCE



Brisket in Coffee-Barbecue Sauce image

Provided by Molly O'Neill

Categories     dinner, roasts, main course

Time 3h45m

Yield 10 to 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

3/4 cup vegetable oil
1 large Spanish onion, minced
5 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon crushed-red-pepper flakes
1 tablespoon tomato paste
7 tablespoons light-brown sugar
5 cups brewed coffee
1/2 cup cider vinegar
1 28-ounce can peeled, chopped tomatoes
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 brisket (about 4 pounds)

Steps:

  • In a medium kettle, heat 1/4 cup of the oil over medium heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring, until soft and golden brown, about 7 minutes. Add the garlic and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Stir in the red pepper. Add the tomato paste and cook, stirring frequently, about 1 minute. Stir in the brown sugar. Pour in the coffee, vinegar and tomatoes, bring to a boil, then lower to a simmer. Simmer 10 minutes. Set aside to cool.
  • Working in small batches, transfer the tomato-coffee mixture to a blender and puree. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Set aside.
  • Preheat the oven to 275 degrees. Season the brisket with salt and pepper. In a Dutch oven with a tight-fitting lid, heat the remaining 1/2 cup oil. Brown the brisket on both sides. Drain off the oil, leaving the brisket in the Dutch oven. Turn the brisket so that the fat side is facing up and then coat it with the pureed tomato-coffee mixture. Cover the Dutch oven and place it in the oven. Bake for 3 hours, basting frequently.
  • Remove the lid and bake uncovered until the brisket is glazed and very tender, about an hour and a half more. Remove the brisket and set it aside to rest for 10 minutes, covered with foil, before slicing thinly across the grain.

2 teaspoons paprika
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
1/2 teaspoon cocoa powder
1 center-cut beef brisket
6 to 8 bacon slices
For the mop sauce:
1 cup red wine
1 cup orange juice
1/3 cup balsamic vinegar

1/3 cup Worcestershire sauce
2 tablespoons Tabasco sauce or another hot sauce
2 teaspoons
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

1 slice bacon, finely chopped
1/2 medium onion, finely chopped
3/4 cup brewed strong coffee or espresso
3/4 cup ketchup
1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce
1/4 cup heavy cream
3 tablespoons brown sugar
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
Coarse salt

Steps:

  • Make the rub. In a small bowl, combine the ingredients for the rub and whisk to mix. (Break up any lumps with the whisk or your fingers.)

Place the beer, cider, vinegar, coffee, stock, oil, Worcestershire sauce, Tabasco sauce, salt, and pepper in a nonreactive bowl and whisk to mix. Taste for seasoning. Cook the brisket until very tender, 5 to 6 hours Red eye bbq sauce Place the bacon and onion in a heavy saucepan cook over medium heat until lightly browned, 3 minutes, stirring often. Stir in the remaining ingredients and gradually bring to a boil. Reduce the heat slightly and simmer the sauce until thick and richly flavored, 10 minutes, whisking from time to time. Correct the seasoning, adding salt and pepper to taste.

BBQ BEEF BRISKET



BBQ Beef Brisket image

Provided by Tim Byres

Categories     Beef     Marinate     Fourth of July     Father's Day     Backyard BBQ     Dinner     Meat     Summer     Smoker     Grill/Barbecue     Party     Simmer     Advance Prep Required     Dairy Free     Wheat/Gluten-Free     Peanut Free     Tree Nut Free     Soy Free     Kosher

Yield Serves 16

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 (12-pound) whole beef brisket
2 cups BBQ Beef Coffee Cure
TOMATO AND MOLASSES BARBECUE SAUCE
2 cups ketchup
2 cups diced tomatoes
1 tablespoon tomato paste
1 1/3 cups distilled white vinegar
5 tablespoons Dijon mustard
4 teaspoons granulated garlic
4 teaspoons kosher salt
2 teaspoons black peppercorns, crushed
1/2 pound brown sugar
2/3 cups molasses

Steps:

  • Pat the brisket dry with a towel to remove any moisture. Generously rub the brisket with 1 cup of the BBQ Beef Coffee Cure , massaging all the spice into the meat; repeat with the remaining cure. The cure will soak up the liquid from the beef and form a crust. Place the meat on a large plate, cover with plastic wrap, and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours.
  • Prepare a smoker for hot smoking. The standard cooking time for brisket is 1 hour per pound, smoked fat side up, under dry, indirect heat at a steady temperature of 225°F. Place the brisket on the center rack of the smoker and smoke for 12 hours. This is slow cooking at its easiest-there's no need to check the meat at intervals.
  • After 12 hours, use a meat thermometer to check for an internal temperature of 185°F in the thickest side of the brisket. Once that temperature is reached, open the door of the smoker and let the meat rest for 30 minutes. This resting period allows the juices to settle. The internal temperature will continue to rise to 190°F.
  • While the meat rests, make the tomato and molasses barbecue sauce: Combine the ketchup, tomatoes, tomato paste, vinegar, mustard, granulated garlic, salt, pepper, and brown sugar with 1 1/3 cups water in a large stockpot over medium heat. Simmer for 20 minutes, stirring, until the sauce thickens slightly. Whisk in the molasses last (it will burn if added too early) and blend with an immersion blender until smooth. Season to taste.
  • Transfer the rested brisket to a cutting board, slice, and chop. The fully rested meat will have a distinct crust and will be tender and juicy inside. There should be a pink smoke ring beneath the crust.

MY MOM'S COFFEE-BRAISED BRISKET



My Mom's Coffee-Braised Brisket image

This is my take on the dish my mother served at virtually every special-occasion dinner of my childhood. And my mom's version was her take on the dish that her mother made. Brisket has a long history on the Jewish table, primarily because it was a very economical cut. Unfortunately, brisket is no longer cheap, but when cooked properly, it's still one of the beefiest and most flavorful pieces of meat you can find. Whether it's first or second cut (the flat or the point) matters less than making sure the meat has a nice layer of fat on one side. My grandmother made her brisket with carrots, potatoes, and Heinz Chili Sauce, which gave it a traditional sweet-and-sour flavor. My mother added the coffee--she doesn't remember why, but it's pretty brilliant, actually. Unlike stock, coffee is a braising liquid ready in minutes, and its deep, roasted flavors work really well with beef (that's why coffee makes a great addition to barbecue sauce). In my version, I add cardamom to evoke Turkish coffee, and I replace the sweetness of that chili sauce with the deeper flavor of dried apricots. You'll find braised eggs like the ones in this dish in cholent, or hamin, the Sabbath stew that is cooked slowly overnight and served on Saturday afternoon. They take on an almost creamy texture from the long cooking time, and as the coffee braising liquid penetrates the shells, it colors the eggs and subtly flavors them. I finish the whole dish with grated horseradish for a little bit of pungency to wake up the long-cooked flavors of the brisket. I make brisket over several days: The first day, the seasoned meat is refrigerated overnight and the next day, it's cooked. The brisket can be served then, but its flavor and texture are far better if it is allowed to rest in its braising liquid for another night, then warmed, sliced, and served the following day.

Time 21h20m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 tablespoons finely ground coffee
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 tablespoon ground cardamom
1 tablespoon ground black cardamom
1 brisket (first cut, about 4 pounds)
2 to 4 tablespoons canola oil
2 large onions (white or red), sliced
4 carrots, peeled and sliced
2 heads garlic, sliced in half horizontally
1/3 cup tomato paste
1 1/2 cups dried apricots
2 cups brewed coffee
8 large eggs in their shells
Grated fresh horseradish, for serving
Fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves, for serving

Steps:

  • Mix the ground coffee, salt, cardamom and black cardamom in a small bowl and rub into the brisket. Cover loosely with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight.
  • Preheat the oven to 475 degrees F. Put the brisket in a roasting pan and roast until the exterior has browned, about 20 minutes. Lower the oven temperature to 300 degrees.
  • Warm 2 tablespoons of the oil in a large skillet over medium heat and add the onions, carrots and the garlic, cut-side down. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables have softened and browned, about 15 minutes, adding more oil if necessary. Add the tomato paste and cook until it reduces slightly, about 2 more minutes.
  • Transfer the vegetables to the roasting pan with the brisket. Add the dried apricots, brewed coffee and eggs in their shells. Add enough water to bring the liquid halfway up the side of the brisket.
  • Cover the pan tightly with two layers of foil, return to the oven and braise for 1 hour. Remove the eggs, gently tap them all over to make a network of small cracks and return them to the braise. Recover the pan with foil and continue cooking until the brisket shreds easily with a fork, about 3 more hours. Let the brisket cool in its braising liquid, then refrigerate overnight.
  • To serve, preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Peel the cold eggs and slice the cold brisket, then return them both to the braising liquid and bake until warmed through, about 30 minutes. Serve the brisket slices with the peeled eggs, grated fresh horseradish and parsley leaves and spoon the broth over top.

BUSY DAY BARBEQUE BRISKET

Brisket is rubbed with spices and liquid smoke and then cooked in a slow cooker with barbeque sauce until tender and juicy. This calls for just enough barbecue sauce for that smoky flavor while still allowing the flavor of the meat to come through. Hint: It's even better if you marinate it in the dry rub overnight.

TEXAS BARBECUE BRISKET



Texas barbecue brisket image

Take your barbecue beyond the burger with this brilliant beef brisket

Provided by Good Food team

Categories     Buffet, Dinner, Main course, Supper

Time 6h30m

Number Of Ingredients 17

about a 5kg/ 11 lb piece of beef brisket
500 ml/ 18 fl oz beef stock
1 tbsp sunflower oil
1 small onion , finely chopped
3 garlic cloves , crushed
500 ml/ 18 fl oz tomato ketchup
100 ml/ 3.5 fl oz Worcestershire sauce
75 ml/ 2.5 fl oz lemon juice
2 tbsp brown sugar
1 tbsp malt vinegar
2 tsp Dijon mustard
1 tsp crushed chilli flakes
1 tsp Tabasco sauce
1 tsp dried thyme
2 tbsp each chilli powder and mustard powder
1 tbsp each paprika , ground cumin, garlic powder, ground black pepper, caster sugar
1 bay leaf , crushed

Steps:

  • To make the barbecue sauce, heat the oil in a frying pan, then cook onion and garlic for a few mins until soft. Add the rest of the sauce ingredients to the pan with a good pinch of salt and simmer for 20 mins. Use a hand blender or food processor to whizz to a smooth purée.
  • Heat oven to 150C/130C fan/gas 2. Make the rub by mixing all the ingredients together with a pinch of salt. Rub the mix all over the beef and set aside.
  • In a large roasting tin, mix the beef stock and ½ the barbecue sauce. Add the brisket to the tin, cover tightly with foil, then cook for 4-5 hrs until the meat is really tender when you push a fork into it. The beef can be prepared the night before - just leave it to cool in the tin covered with foil, but don't refrigerate.
  • To finish the beef, get a barbecue fired up and wait until the coals are completely ashen - you want a low, not fierce, heat. Lift the beef out of the roasting tin and place on the barbecue to char. If your barbecue has a lid, close it now. Cook for about 20 mins, turning it carefully with tongs, until lightly charred all over and heated through. Lift onto a board and serve sliced with the remaining barbecue sauce on the side.

Tips:

  • For a flavorful coffee rub, combine ground coffee, brown sugar, chili powder, cumin, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt. Apply the rub generously to the brisket, ensuring it covers all sides.
  • Enhance the flavor of the brisket by injecting it with a mixture of beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, and liquid smoke. This technique infuses the meat with moisture and smoky goodness.
  • To achieve a tender and fall-apart brisket, cook it low and slow. Maintain a temperature between 225°F (107°C) and 250°F (121°C) for several hours, allowing the collagen to break down and the meat to become melt-in-your-mouth tender.
  • Baste the brisket periodically with a mixture of red wine, beef broth, and brown sugar to keep it moist and prevent it from drying out. This step adds an extra layer of flavor and richness to the meat.
  • For the red-eye barbecue sauce, simmer coffee, beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar, ketchup, molasses, and spices until thickened. The coffee adds a unique depth of flavor and richness to the sauce, complementing the smoky and savory notes of the brisket.
  • Serve the smoked coffee-rubbed brisket with the red-eye barbecue sauce, sliced against the grain for maximum tenderness. Accompany it with sides like coleslaw, potato salad, or grilled corn on the cob for a complete and satisfying meal.

Conclusion:

This coffee-rubbed brisket with red-eye barbecue sauce is a true delight for barbecue enthusiasts. The combination of the flavorful coffee rub, tender and juicy meat, and rich, tangy sauce creates a symphony of flavors that will tantalize your taste buds. Whether you're hosting a backyard gathering or simply craving a memorable meal, this recipe is sure to impress. So, fire up your smoker, prepare the ingredients, and embark on a culinary journey that will leave you craving for more.
