- In a large skillet, heat the canola oil over medium-high heat. Season the brisket on both sides with a generous pinch of salt. Sear the brisket in the hot pan until browned, about 4 minutes per side.
- To the slow cooker, add the parsley stems, celery and bay leaf. Put the seared brisket on top of the vegetables. In a large bowl whisk together the broth, wine, tomato paste, and pot roast seasoning. Pour the mixture over the brisket, top with onions, and cook on low, until the meat is fork-tender, about 4 to 6 hours. One hour before the brisket is done add the carrots, and mushrooms.
- Remove the meat, carrots, and mushrooms from the slow cooker and set aside. Strain the liquid into a medium pan over medium-high heat. In a small bowl, whisk together the gravy mix with 1 cup of cold water. Turn the heat to medium and whisk in the gravy mixture. Cook until thickened, about 2 minutes.
- Slice the brisket and arrange it on a serving platter. Serve it with the carrots, mushrooms, and gravy. Garnish with the reserved chopped parsley leaves and serve.

BEER, GINGER, AND GARLIC BRAISED BRISKET

Time 3h45m
Yield 6 to 8 servings
Number Of Ingredients 15
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
- Warm the oil in a large, ovenproof Dutch oven over medium-high heat until shimmering. Season the brisket with salt and pepper on both sides, and then add the meat to the pot. Brown on all sides, about 10 minutes total. Remove from the pot and set aside on a plate.
- Turn the heat down to medium and add the cinnamon stick, cloves, and cardamom pods; they should sizzle upon contact with the oil in the pot. Once they start releasing their aroma (less than 1 minute), add the onions and Ginger-Garlic paste. Sprinkle with a touch of salt to help them release some moisture. Saute until they soften and turn golden, about 10 minutes.
- Stir in the sugar and beer to the pot, scraping up any bits that may have stuck to the bottom. Carefully, using a pair of tongs, return the brisket to the pot. Then add enough broth to bring the liquid halfway up the brisket, about 1 cup. Bring the liquid to a boil, shut off the heat, cover, and transfer to the oven where it will cook away for 3 hours until it's very tender. Remove the lid in the last half hour of cooking to reduce the liquid.
- When you're ready to serve, check the gravy. Stir in the cider vinegar. If it's too thick, don't be afraid to add a little water to thin it out. If it's too thin, reduce it on the stovetop. Taste for seasoning; depending on the brand of broth you used, you may want to add a little more salt.
- When slicing the brisket, remember to slice across the grain, that way you'll get the most tender pieces of meat. Spoon a little gravy over the top and enjoy a slice of brisket heaven!
- Throw the garlic, ginger, and canola oil in a mini-food processor and let it go until it forms a semi-smooth paste. There will still be tiny little pieces in there, but overall, it should resemble a paste.
- Save what you don't use in a small glass jar; it should last in the fridge for 2 to 3 weeks. It's a delicious addition to marinades, pasta sauces, stir-fry sauces, slow-cooker recipes, gravy etc. We always had a jar of this stuff in our fridge growing up.

Steps:
- Preferably use a casserole dish that you can use on top of the stove to make it easy for you to make the gravy
- 1) peel and smash your garlic
- 2) top, tail and peel shallots
- 3) make a pint of beef stock
- 4) chuck your garlic, carrots, shallots and beef into a casserole dish
- 5) pour in 1 pint of beef stock (and wine, if applicable)
- 6) Stick the lid on and sit in the oven on about 160 for anything up to 3 hours (just keep checking it, i'm sorry i'm not sure of the exact time, but it's not the end of the world if it's a bit pink in the middle)
- 7) When you feel the beef is done, take it out and stick it on a chopping board for carving
- 8) scoop out those gorgeous tender vegetables, and put them in a pan with the lid on to keep warm
- 9) onto the gravy - mix the cornflour with a splash of water to make a paste (this is important, otherwise you will end up with lumps of cornflour :puke:)
- 10) add to casserole dish and top up with as much beef stock as you need to make your gravy, although you can always freeze some to add to casseroles or just to use in the future (nb: if you don't have a casserole you can use on top of the stove, pour the juices from the casserole into a medium sized saucepan and use this)
- 11) simmer this (it should be bubbling but not boiling) on the hob until it thickens, you can always add more cornflour or some gravy granules if it isn't thickening after a few minutes.
- 12) while the gravy is going, slice up the beef by sticking a fork in it and slicing thinly as possible (leave the string on and just take it out as you go, otherwise it will be quite difficult)
- 13) Half of this will make a meal in itself with your choice of potatoes for 2... if you've got more people, i'd do some extra vegetables... cabbage, peas, carrots whatever!!

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees. In a bowl, combine garlic, rosemary, pepper, salt, brown sugar, red pepper and paprika. Place brisket fat-side up in a large, deep roasting pan (about 13 by 16 inches) and rub all over with mixture.
- Roast brisket, uncovered, for 20 minutes. While brisket cooks, pour olive oil into a large saucepan over medium heat and add onions.

Stir occasionally, breaking tomatoes with a spoon or whisk. Simmer uncovered for 10 minutes and season to taste with salt and black pepper. Remove brisket from oven. Reduce oven temperature to 325.

- Use a flavorful rub to enhance the taste of the brisket. A combination of spices, herbs, and brown sugar works well.
- Cook the brisket low and slow to ensure that it becomes tender and juicy. Maintaining a temperature between 225°F and 250°F is ideal.
- Baste the brisket with its juices or a mixture of water and beef broth every few hours to keep it moist.
- Cover the brisket tightly with aluminum foil during the last few hours of cooking to help it braise and become even more tender.
- Let the brisket rest for at least 30 minutes before slicing to allow the juices to redistribute.
- Serve the brisket with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or coleslaw.
