Time 10h45m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 brisket (3 pounds)
2 teaspoons kosher salt
Black pepper
2 tablespoons flavorless oil
1 large onion, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons fennel seeds
1 tablespoon dried sage
Pinch crushed red pepper
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon dried rosemary
1 clove garlic, minced
One 12-ounce bottle hard apple cider
1 large apple, cut into thin wedges
2 tablespoons maple syrup
1 cup dry white wine
Chopped chives, for garnish

Steps:

  • Season both sides of the brisket with the salt and a few turns of pepper.
  • In a large skillet or pot, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Sear both sides of the brisket until browned, 4 to 6 minutes. Transfer it to a slow cooker.
  • Add the onion to the skillet and cook, stirring, until soft, 5 to 7 minutes. Add the fennel seeds, sage, crushed red pepper, cayenne, thyme, rosemary and garlic and cook, stirring, for 2 more minutes. Pour 1/2 cup hard cider into the pan and allow it to loosen any browned bits stuck to the bottom of the pan (use a spatula to help scrape them up). Pour the whole mixture into the slow cooker. Add the apple, maple syrup, wine, and remaining 1 cup cider to the slow cooker.
  • Cover and cook on low for 8 to 10 hours, or overnight. Remove the brisket to a cutting board and let it sit for 15 minutes. Trim off any excess fat, slice against the grain, and then transfer it to a serving dish. Carefully pour the mixture from the slow cooker on top of the brisket, sprinkle with the chopped chives and serve.

Tips:

  • Choose the right brisket: Look for a brisket that is well-marbled with fat, as this will help keep it moist during cooking. For a more flavorful brisket, choose one that is at least 12 pounds.
  • Trim the brisket: Before cooking, trim the brisket of any excess fat. This will help the brisket cook more evenly and prevent it from becoming greasy.
  • Season the brisket: Season the brisket generously with salt and pepper, and any other desired spices. You can also add a rub to the brisket for extra flavor.
  • Cook the brisket low and slow: The best way to cook a brisket is low and slow. This will allow the brisket to cook evenly and develop a tender, flavorful texture.
  • Monitor the brisket's internal temperature: Use a meat thermometer to monitor the brisket's internal temperature. The brisket is done cooking when it reaches an internal temperature of 200 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Let the brisket rest: After cooking, let the brisket rest for at least 30 minutes before slicing. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the brisket, making it more tender and flavorful.

Conclusion:

Cooking a brisket can be a daunting task, but by following these tips, you can ensure that your brisket turns out perfectly. With a little patience and care, you can create a delicious and flavorful brisket that will be enjoyed by all.

Remember to choose the right brisket, trim it properly, season it well, cook it low and slow, and let it rest before slicing. With these tips, you'll be able to create a brisket that is sure to impress your family and friends.
