Time 10h10m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

4 lbs beef brisket
1 large onion, thinly sliced
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1/4 cup ketchup
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour

Steps:

  • Place brisket fat side up into slow cooker, sprinkle garlic powder on top and rub ketchup generously into brisket.
  • Add onion slices all around and on top of meat, add enough water to coat the bottom of the cooker.
  • Cook on low, all day, for the most tender brisket you will ever eat.
  • For gravy, remove brisket and turn thermostat to high.
  • Mix flour with 1/4 cup water, add to pot and bring to a boil, stirring constantly.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cut of brisket: Look for a brisket that is well-marbled with fat, as this will help to keep the meat moist and tender during cooking.
  • Trim the brisket: Remove any excess fat from the brisket, leaving a thin layer of fat on top. This will help to prevent the brisket from becoming too greasy.
  • Season the brisket: Rub the brisket all over with a mixture of salt, pepper, and your favorite spices. This will help to flavor the meat and create a delicious crust.
  • Cook the brisket slowly: Brisket is a tough cut of meat that requires a long, slow cooking process to become tender. Cook the brisket in a covered roasting pan at a low temperature for several hours, or until the meat is fall-apart tender.
  • Rest the brisket: Once the brisket is cooked, let it rest for at least 30 minutes before slicing. This will help to redistribute the juices throughout the meat and make it more tender.

Conclusion:

Deli-style brisket is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed in a variety of ways. Whether you are serving it on a sandwich, in a wrap, or simply on its own, deli-style brisket is sure to be a hit. With a little planning and preparation, you can easily make deli-style brisket at home that tastes just as good as the brisket you get from your favorite deli.
