Categories     Dinner

Time 18h25m

Yield 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 flat cut brisket
1 ½ teaspoons kosher salt, plus 1 teaspoon, plus more as needed
freshly ground black pepper, to taste
4 cups low sodium beef broth
1 can tomato puree
¼ cup red wine vinegar
3 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons sweet paprika
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin
6 sprigs fresh thyme
4 dried bay leaves
½ teaspoon whole black peppercorn
2 teaspoons olive oil
2 medium yellow onions, thinly sliced
5 carrots, cut into 1 in (2.54 cm)
½ cup dry red wine, such as Cabernet Sauvignon or Merlot

Steps:

  • Turn the broiler on high.
  • Set the brisket in a large roasting pan. Season generously on all sides with 1½-2 tablespoons of salt and ground black pepper to taste.
  • Turn the brisket fat-side up and broil for 12-15 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fat cap, until there is no white fat remaining. Flip and broil for another 5-6 minutes on the second side, until browned.
  • Preheat the oven to 275˚F (135°C).
  • In a large bowl, stir together the beef stock, tomato purée, red wine vinegar, honey, paprika, garlic powder, and cumin until well combined.
  • Make a bouquet garni: Fold a 6-inch square piece of cheesecloth in half and lay the thyme, bay leaves, and whole black peppercorns in the center. Fold the sides of the cheesecloth over the herbs and roll up to resemble a cigar. Tie with 3 2-inch pieces of twine to secure.
  • If the roasting pan fits on the stovetop, remove the brisket from the pan and set aside. Place the roasting pan on the stovetop and add the olive oil to the rendered beef fat in the pan. Heat over medium-high heat until shimmering. (Alternatively, remove the brisket from the roasting pan and pour any rendered beef fat into a large pot. Add the olive oil and heat over medium-high heat until shimmering.) Add the onions and carrots and season with the remaining teaspoon of salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are soft and translucent, 6-8 minutes. Deglaze the pan with the red wine, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom.
  • If using the roasting pan, spread the vegetables in an even layer and place the brisket, fat-side up, on top. (If using a separate pot, transfer the vegetables back to the roasting pan, spread in an even layer, and place the brisket on top.) Pour the beef stock mixture over the brisket and nestle the bouquet garni into the vegetables. Cover the pan with heavy-duty aluminum foil.
  • Transfer the roasting pan to the oven and bake for 5-6 hours, until a fork can be easily inserted into the thickest part of the brisket.
  • Remove the roasting pan from the oven and let cool for about 1 hour at room temperature, then transfer to the refrigerator to chill overnight. Resting overnight is optional, but recommended. (The brisket should rest, covered, for a minimum of 1 hour before slicing; however, the meat will be very tender and fall apart easily).
  • The following day, preheat the oven to 200˚F (95°C). Set a wire rack over a baking sheet.
  • Remove the brisket from the braising liquid and transfer to the wire rack. Cover with aluminum foil. Transfer the brisket to the oven and bake for about 1 hour, until warmed through.
  • While the brisket is warming, make the sauce. Remove the bouquet garni from the braising liquid and scoop the solidified fat from the surface (it's okay if you don't get it all; you will skim the sauce as it simmers). Strain the vegetables from the braising liquid and set aside.
  • Transfer 3 cups of the braising liquid to a large, high-walled skillet. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 35-40 minutes, stirring occasionally, and skimming the fat that rises to the surface, until reduced by about half. Transfer to a gravy boat or medium bowl.
  • When ready to serve, thinly slice the brisket against the grain. Serve with the vegetables and reduced braising liquid.
  • Enjoy!

SLOW COOKER BEEF BRISKET



Slow Cooker Beef Brisket image

This beef brisket turned out perfect! My husband couldn't stop bragging about. It will melt in your mouth and the broth it cooks in is amazing and simple.

Provided by Cooking with Kimberly Wood

Categories     Beef Brisket

Time 8h45m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 tablespoon brown sugar
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon ground paprika
1 teaspoon coarse salt
¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
¼ teaspoon ground mustard powder
¼ teaspoon onion powder
¼ teaspoon garlic powder
2 cups low-sodium beef broth
1 teaspoon liquid smoke
1 teaspoon Worcestershire Sauce
¼ cup water, or as needed
1 (2 pound) beef brisket
2 medium yellow onions, quartered
3 large carrots, cut into 1-inch pieces
¼ cup prepared barbecue sauce

Steps:

  • Mix brown sugar, chili powder, paprika, salt, pepper, mustard powder, onion powder, and garlic powder for dry rub together in a small bowl.
  • Mix beef broth, liquid smoke, and Worcestershire sauce for cooking liquid in a separate bowl.
  • Place onions and carrots in a slow cooker. Pour cooking liquid over top and set to temperature High to let it warm up.
  • Meanwhile, rinse brisket under cold water. Pat it dry, then season all over with the dry rub. Place brisket in the slow cooker on top of the onions and carrots, with the fatty side facing up. The cooking liquid should reach just to the bottom of the brisket; if not, add a little water.
  • Cover and cook on Low for 8 hours. Turn the slow cooker off and transfer brisket to a foil-lined sheet pan. Trim some of the fat if desired.
  • Place barbecue sauce in a bowl. Ladle 1/4 cup hot cooking liquid from the slow cooker into the bowl and mix it with the barbecue sauce. Baste the fatty side of the brisket with this mixture.
  • Preheat the oven's broiler.
  • Place the brisket in the preheated oven so there are 6 inches between the top of the brisket and the burner. Broil until the fatty edges start to crisp up, 2 to 4 minutes; watch closely so it doesn't burn.
  • Remove from the oven and let rest for 10 minutes. Slice brisket thinly and against the grain.
  • Remove vegetables from the slow cooker with a slotted spoon, and serve alongside the brisket.

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 during cooking. The flat cut is leaner and cooks more quickly, while the point cut is fattier and has more flavor.
  • Season the brisket generously. Use a rub made from spices, herbs, and salt to flavor the brisket. Common ingredients include garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, cumin, and chili powder. You can also add a sweet element to the rub, such as brown sugar or honey.
  • Cook the brisket slowly and low. Brisket is a tough cut of meat, so it needs to be cooked slowly and low in order to become tender. The ideal cooking temperature is between 225°F and 250°F. Cook the brisket until it reaches an internal temperature of 200°F to 205°F.
  • Baste the brisket regularly. Basting the brisket with its cooking juices will help keep it moist and prevent it from drying out. Baste the brisket every 30 minutes or so.
  • Let the brisket rest before serving. Once the brisket is cooked, let it rest for at least 30 minutes before slicing and serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful brisket.

Conclusion:

Beef brisket is a delicious and versatile cut of meat that can be cooked in a variety of ways. Whether you choose to smoke it, braise it, or slow-cook it, following these tips will help you achieve perfect results every time. So next time you're looking for a hearty and flavorful meal, give beef brisket a try. You won't be disappointed.
