FRESH BRISKET OF BEEF WITH DELICIOUS GRAVY JUNIORS IN BROOKLYN!
Every morning, one of the oversized ovens in the Junior's downstairs kitchen is busy roasting a giant-sized brisket of beef. And for good reason; this is one of Junior's blue-ribbon specialties. It's just one more taste of that home-style cooking that Junior's is famous for - served up in style with its own gravy, made straight from the pan drippings (what else?). The best part of this dish: It roasts in the oven for three hours, asking for very little attention from you. But the flavors are so delicious that it tasted like you've worked all day. The Junior's Way - Most brisket recipes ask you to boil the meat in a pot of water. Junior's does it differently: The chef roasts the brisket in an open pan. He starts the roasting with enough water in the pan to come about two-thirds up the sides of the beef. As the drippings begin simmering, he bastes the meat with the drippings several times during cooking. The brisket comes out very tender, but with a roasted flavor. "Always slice the meat on the diagonal - it's guaranteed to be tender and juicy." *NOTE* I adopted this recipe in a whirlwind adoption in September 2006. I will update on this reicpe once I've used it myself!

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Rub the brisket with the salt and pepper and place it, fat-side-up, in a roasting pan. Pour in enough water to come about two-thirds up the sides of the brisket. Sprinkle the carrots and garlic into the water around the roast.
- Roast the brisket, without covering it, until it is browned and tender, about 3 hours, spooning the pan drippings frequently over the meat.
- If necessary, add a little extra water during the cooking to keep the liquid at least halfway up the sides of the brisket. Transfer the brisket to a serving platter.
- To make the delicious gravy: Skim off any fat from the drippings into large skillet. You need 3 tablespoons of fat; if necessary, just add a little butter to equal this amount.
- Strain the drippings into a large heatproof measuring cup, reserving the vegetables for the gravy, if you wish.
- Heat the fat in the skillet over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and cook until it begins to soften. Whisk in the flour and cook, stirring constantly, until the flour mixture bubbles all over, about 2 minutes.
- Gradually pour in the straining drippings and continue cooking and whisking until the gravy thickens. Remove the gravy from the heat and stir in the reserved vegetables, if you wish.
- To serve: Slice the brisket on the diagonal, about 1/2-inch thick. Serve it up hot with a generous helping of gravy ladled over the top. This goes great with mashed potatoes.

Steps:
- Place the mushrooms in a small bowl. Bring 1 cup of the water to a boil. Pour over the mushrooms. Let stand for 30 minutes to soften.
- Remove the mushrooms from the soaking liquid, squeezing as much liquid as possible back into the bowl. Coarsely chop the mushrooms.
- Strain the soaking liquid through a coffee filter or 2 layers of cheesecloth. Set aside.
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
- Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a heavy large Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the onions and saute for about 10 minutes, until translucent.
- Reduce heat to low. Cook for about 15 minutes, until the onions begin to brown, stirring from time to time.
- Add the vinegar and cook, stirring, for about 10 minutes, until the onions turn a deep golden brown.
- Add the wine and bring to a boil, scraping up any browned bits in the pot. Transfer the mixture to a bowl.
- Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons oil in the same Dutch oven over high heat. Season the brisket with salt and pepper. Brown well on all sides. Transfer the meat to a platter.
- Add the mushroom-soaking liquid to the Dutch oven and bring to a boil, scraping up any browned bits.
- Return the brisket to the pot, along with the onion-wine mixture, the remaining 3 cups water, the mushrooms, garlic, thyme and bay leaves. Bring to a boil.
- Tightly cover the pan. Place in the oven and cook for about 3 hours, until the brisket is very tender.
- Transfer the meat to a platter and tent with foil.
- Remove the bay leaves from the cooking liquid. Working in batches, puree the cooking liquid in a processor until smooth. Transfer to a large saucepan. Adjust seasoning and rewarm, if necessary.
- Cut the brisket across the grain into thin slices. Arrange on a platter. Spoon the sauce over the meat.

BRISKET OF BEEF WITH GRAVY
Moist Beef (cheep cut)

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!!
