EASY BAKED BEEF BRISKET



Easy Baked Beef Brisket image

For a brisket recipe, this is considered very fast. The convention of cooking it low and slow often results in dried-out meat that never reaches the proper internal temperature. Instead of waiting all day and risking such disappointment, we dial up the temperature slightly and bake it in about half the time to ensure it's both tender and moist. Garnish with chives if desired.

Provided by Chef John

Categories     Main Dish Recipes     Roast Recipes

Time 12h15m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 pounds first-cut brisket (or flat-cut), trimmed of fat
4 teaspoons kosher salt
2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
½ teaspoon cayenne pepper
2 tablespoons butter
1 large yellow onion, sliced
1 teaspoon kosher salt
4 cloves garlic, sliced
1 tablespoon minced fresh rosemary
1 cup apple juice

Steps:

  • Season both sides of the brisket generously with salt, pepper, and cayenne. For best results, place brisket over an aluminum foil "rack" set over a plate and refrigerate, uncovered, 8 to 12 hours.
  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
  • Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add onion and salt. Cook and stir until translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in garlic, rosemary, and apple juice. Increase heat to high and boil until liquid is reduced by about half, about 3 minutes.
  • Transfer half of the apple-onion mixture into a baking dish. Place brisket fat-side up on top; cover with remaining apple-onion mixture. Cover baking dish tightly with foil.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour 30 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 250 degrees F (121 degrees C) and bake until fork-tender, about 2 hours 15 minutes. Check for doneness after 2 hours.
  • Transfer brisket to a plate and tent with foil.
  • Pour the onions and braising liquid into a large measuring cup or bowl. Skim some fat off the top. Puree with a stick blender to create a gravy.
  • Slice brisket across the grain and serve with the gravy.

EASY BEEF BRISKET



Easy Beef Brisket image

Provided by Trisha Yearwood

Categories     main-dish

Time 4h15m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

One 3- to 3 1/2-pound trimmed beef brisket
2 tablespoons kosher salt
1 tablespoon freshly cracked black pepper
3 tablespoons canola oil
3 large yellow onions, thinly sliced (about 8 cups)
1 cup cola
2 1/2 cups beef stock
4 dried whole star anise
2 sprigs fresh rosemary
1 dried bay leaf
2 tablespoons fresh flat-leaf parsley, chopped
2 tablespoons fresh thyme, chopped

Steps:

  • Check to see if the brisket fits into a Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot with a lid. If not, slice the brisket into 2 pieces against the grain to allow it to fit.
  • Put a cooling rack over a baking sheet. Put the brisket on the rack with the side lined with a thin layer of fat touching the rack. Sprinkle the salt and black pepper all over the brisket, making sure to season both sides. Let the brisket come to room temperature for about 30 minutes. (Tip: This step can be done up to 1 day in advance. Refrigerate the seasoned brisket, uncovered. By letting the brisket rest in the refrigerator, the sear will be more even and golden brown.)
  • Put a Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot over high heat. Add the oil and heat until shiny, about 30 seconds. Add the brisket fat-side up and sear until golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Turn the brisket over and sear the other side for another 3 to 4 minutes. Remove the brisket from the pot and set aside.
  • Reduce the heat to medium high and add the onions. Cook until just translucent, about 3 minutes. Pour the cola into the pot and scrape up any brown bits. Place the brisket back in the pot fat-side up, along with any juices that have collected around it. Bury the brisket under the onions. Add the beef stock, star anise, rosemary sprigs and bay leaf; the stock should not submerge the brisket, but come up about two-thirds of the way. Bring to a simmer and reduce the heat to medium low. Cover the pot and cook for 1 1/2 hours.
  • Remove the lid and flip the brisket over, making sure to nestle it back into the softened onions. Cover the pot and continue cooking until the beef is tender but not falling apart, an additional 1 1/2 hours. Remove the beef from the pot and set on a cutting board. Remove the rosemary stems, bay leaf and star anise and discard. Place the pot over high heat and cook the sauce until slightly reduced, about 10 minutes.
  • Thinly slice the brisket against the grain and spread onto a serving platter. Top the sliced brisket with the onions and spoon the sauce over the platter. Sprinkle with the parsley and thyme. Serve immediately.

Provided by Betsy Carter

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!

EASY BAKED BEEF BRISKET



Easy Baked Beef Brisket image

This is a great dish to make for guests as it is best cooked the day before. Prep and cook times are approximate and don't include the overnight stay in the fridge.

Provided by Hey Jude

Categories     Lunch/Snacks

Time 4h15m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 lbs boneless beef brisket (NOT corned beef)
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
1 clove garlic, minced
3 medium onions, peeled and thickly sliced
1 cup hot water
1 envelope dry onion soup mix
4 carrots, peeled and cut into 2 inch chunks
4 stalks celery, cut into 2 inch chunks
French roll

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°.
  • Place brisket, fat side up, in a 9x13-inch roasting pan; season with salt, pepper and garlic.
  • Place sliced onions on top of meat and bake for 1 hour or until the onions have browned on their edges; add water, soup mix, carrots and celery and cover with foil to form a tight seal.
  • Reduce oven to 300° and continue to cook until meat is fork-tender, about 3 hours.
  • Remove from oven; separate meat from sauce and refrigerate both overnight.
  • The next day, remove visible fat from meat and discard; thinly slice meat across the grain.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cut of brisket: Look for a brisket that is well-marbled with fat, as this will help keep the meat moist and flavorful during cooking.
  • Trim the brisket: Remove any excess fat from the brisket, leaving a thin layer of fat on the meat. This will help the brisket cook evenly and prevent it from becoming too greasy.
  • Season the brisket: Rub the brisket with a generous amount of salt, pepper, and your favorite spices. This will help to enhance the flavor of the meat.
  • Cook the brisket slowly: Brisket is a tough cut of meat, so it needs to be cooked slowly and at a low temperature. This will allow the collagen in the meat to break down, making it tender and flavorful.
  • Use a meat thermometer: To ensure that the brisket is cooked to your desired level of doneness, use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the meat. The brisket is done when it reaches an internal temperature of 195 degrees Fahrenheit (90 degrees Celsius).

Conclusion:

Cooking a brisket in an oven or a slow cooker is a great way to create a tender and flavorful dish that will be enjoyed by everyone at the table. By following these tips, you can ensure that your brisket turns out perfect every time. Brisket is very versatile, and can be served with a variety of sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or coleslaw. It can also be used in sandwiches or tacos. No matter how you choose to serve it, brisket is a hearty and delicious meal that will satisfy even the most discerning palate.
