Cooking brisket can be an intimidating dish to tackle, especially for beginners. But with the right recipe and a little patience, you can create a tender, flavorful brisket that will impress your friends and family. When choosing a brisket, look for a piece that is at least 10 pounds, with a good amount of marbling. The marbling will help to keep the brisket moist during cooking. You'll also need to decide whether you want to smoke the brisket or cook it in the oven. Smoking the brisket will give it a more intense flavor, but it will take longer to cook. If you're short on time, cooking the brisket in the oven is a good option.

Here are our top 4 tried and tested recipes!

EASY BEEF BRISKET

Provided by Trisha Yearwood

Categories     main-dish

Time 4h15m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

One 3- to 3 1/2-pound trimmed beef brisket
2 tablespoons kosher salt
1 tablespoon freshly cracked black pepper
3 tablespoons canola oil
3 large yellow onions, thinly sliced (about 8 cups)
1 cup cola
2 1/2 cups beef stock
4 dried whole star anise
2 sprigs fresh rosemary
1 dried bay leaf
2 tablespoons fresh flat-leaf parsley, chopped
2 tablespoons fresh thyme, chopped

Steps:

  • Check to see if the brisket fits into a Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot with a lid. If not, slice the brisket into 2 pieces against the grain to allow it to fit.
  • Put a cooling rack over a baking sheet. Put the brisket on the rack with the side lined with a thin layer of fat touching the rack. Sprinkle the salt and black pepper all over the brisket, making sure to season both sides. Let the brisket come to room temperature for about 30 minutes. (Tip: This step can be done up to 1 day in advance. Refrigerate the seasoned brisket, uncovered. By letting the brisket rest in the refrigerator, the sear will be more even and golden brown.)
  • Put a Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot over high heat. Add the oil and heat until shiny, about 30 seconds. Add the brisket fat-side up and sear until golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Turn the brisket over and sear the other side for another 3 to 4 minutes. Remove the brisket from the pot and set aside.
  • Reduce the heat to medium high and add the onions. Cook until just translucent, about 3 minutes. Pour the cola into the pot and scrape up any brown bits. Place the brisket back in the pot fat-side up, along with any juices that have collected around it. Bury the brisket under the onions. Add the beef stock, star anise, rosemary sprigs and bay leaf; the stock should not submerge the brisket, but come up about two-thirds of the way. Bring to a simmer and reduce the heat to medium low. Cover the pot and cook for 1 1/2 hours.
  • Remove the lid and flip the brisket over, making sure to nestle it back into the softened onions. Cover the pot and continue cooking until the beef is tender but not falling apart, an additional 1 1/2 hours. Remove the beef from the pot and set on a cutting board. Remove the rosemary stems, bay leaf and star anise and discard. Place the pot over high heat and cook the sauce until slightly reduced, about 10 minutes.
  • Thinly slice the brisket against the grain and spread onto a serving platter. Top the sliced brisket with the onions and spoon the sauce over the platter. Sprinkle with the parsley and thyme. Serve immediately.

SOUTHERN TOMATO SANDWICH



Southern Tomato Sandwich image

Tastes like summer! Room temperature tomatoes are key here and once the salt and pepper hit them, the juices start flowing. When the juicy tomatoes blend in with the mayonnaise, it makes a delicious, creamy, slightly tangy, and flavorful sauce. The bread becomes slightly soggy, in the best way possible. The last bite is even better than the first!

Tips:

  • Choose the right cut of brisket: Brisket is a large, tough cut of meat, so it's important to choose one that is well-marbled with fat. This will help keep the meat moist and flavorful during the long cooking process.
  • Trim the brisket: Before cooking, trim the brisket of any excess fat. This will help the meat cook more evenly and prevent it from becoming too greasy.
  • Season the brisket: Season the brisket liberally with salt, pepper, and your favorite spices. You can also add a rub or marinade to the brisket for extra flavor.
  • Smoke the brisket: Smoke the brisket over indirect heat at a temperature of 225-250 degrees Fahrenheit for 8-12 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 200 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Rest the brisket: 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, making it more tender and flavorful.

Conclusion:

Brisket is a delicious and versatile cut of meat that can be cooked in a variety of ways. Whether you smoke it, braise it, or slow-cook it, brisket is sure to be a hit with your family and friends. With a little planning and effort, you can create a brisket that is tender, flavorful, and fall-apart tender. So next time you're looking for a special meal, give brisket a try. You won't be disappointed.
