Jewish Grandma's Best Beef Brisket image

My mother makes a GREAT beef brisket. She got the recipe after watching a friend's Jewish grandmother make it. It is perfect, delicious and easily kosher for Passover. Enjoy! Great with mashed potatoes or potato latkes (latkes with this meal are also kosher) or roasted vegetables (with olive oil, salt and pepper - also kosher). Mazel Tov!

Time 4h20m

Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 6

Ingredients

1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 (4 pound) beef brisket
ground black pepper to taste
2 onions, thickly sliced
2 cloves garlic, peeled and cut in half
salt and pepper to taste

Steps:

Heat the oil in a large deep skillet or pot over medium-high heat. Season the brisket generously with black pepper. Place in the pan and cook until the surface is a rich brown color, not burnt, but dark. Lift the roast and scatter the onions in the pan. Place the uncooked side of the roast down onto the onions. Repeat the browning process.
Add the garlic to the pan, and fill with enough water to almost cover the roast. Bring to a simmer. Reduce heat to low and cover with a lid or tight-fitting aluminum foil. Simmer for 4 hours, turning the roast over once halfway through. The roast should be fork tender.
Remove the brisket to a serving platter. Bring the broth in the pan to a simmer, scraping the bottom to loosen any browned bits. Cook until reduced to a thin gravy. Taste and season with salt and pepper if needed.

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 and flavorful during cooking. The flat cut is leaner and cooks more quickly, while the point cut is fattier and has more flavor.
Prepare the brisket properly: Trim off any excess fat from the brisket, and season it generously with your favorite rub. You can also inject the brisket with a flavorful marinade to help keep it moist.
Cook the brisket slowly and evenly: The best way to cook a brisket is to smoke it low and slow. This will allow the meat to cook evenly and develop a rich, smoky flavor. You can also braise the brisket in a flavorful liquid, or cook it in a slow cooker.
Let the brisket rest before carving: Once the brisket is cooked, let it rest for at least 30 minutes before carving. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, making it more tender and flavorful.

Conclusion:

Cooking a perfect beef brisket takes time and patience, but it is well worth the effort. By following these tips, you can create a delicious and flavorful brisket that will impress your family and friends. Whether you choose to smoke, braise, or slow-cook your brisket, be sure to use a flavorful rub or marinade, and cook it low and slow until it is fall-apart tender. With a little practice, you'll be able to cook a brisket that is the star of any meal.
