Posted for a request, I did make this once for fun. You have to ask your butcher for this cut well before St. Patrick's Day, before they turn them all into the prepared corned beef's.

1/2 cup kosher salt

Steps:

  • Mix salt and seasonings in a small bowl.

  • Rub each side evenly with salt mixture; place in a 2-gallon-size zipper-lock bag, forcing out as much air as possible.

  • Refrigerate 5 to 7 days, turning once a day.
  • Rinse meat and pat dry.
  • Bring brisket to a boil with water to cover by 1/2 to 1 inch in a large soup kettle or stockpot (at least eight quarts), skimming any scum that rises to surface.
  • Cover and simmer until skewer inserted in thickest part of briskest slides out with ease, 2 to 3 hours.
  • Heat oven to 200 degrees F.
  • Transfer meat to a large platter, ladling about 1 cup cooking liquid over it to keep it moist.
  • Cover with foil and set in oven.
  • Add vegetables from category 1 to kettle (see below) and bring to a boil; cover and simmer until vegetables begin to soften, about 10 minutes.
  • Add vegetables from category 2 and bring to a boil; cover and simmer until all vegetables are tender, 10 to 15 minutes longer.
  • Meanwhile, remove the meat from oven and cut across the grain into 1/4-inch thick slices.
  • Transfer vegetables to meat platter, moisten with additional broth and serve.

Categories     Beef

Time 3h5m

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 envelope onion soup mix
3/4 c water
1/2 c ketchup
1 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp black pepper
3 lb boneless brisket of beef

Steps:

  • 1. In a 9 X 13 inch baking pan, add soup mix blended with water, ketchup, garlic powder and pepper.
  • 2. Add brisket; turn to coat. Loosely cover with aluminum foil and bake 3 hours at 325 degrees.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cut of beef brisket. Look for a brisket that is well-marbled with fat, as this will help to keep the meat moist during cooking.
  • Trim excess fat from the brisket, leaving about 1/4 inch of fat on the meat.
  • Season the brisket liberally with salt, pepper, and your favorite spices. You can also use a store-bought brisket rub.
  • Sear the brisket in a hot pan or Dutch oven until browned on all sides. This will help to seal in the juices and flavor.
  • Braise the brisket in a flavorful liquid, such as beef broth, red wine, or beer, for at least 4 hours, or until the meat is fall-apart tender.
  • Let the brisket rest for at least 30 minutes before slicing and serving. This will help the meat to reabsorb its juices and become even more tender.
  • Serve the brisket with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or coleslaw.

Conclusion:

Beef brisket is a delicious and versatile cut of meat that can be cooked in a variety of ways. Whether you choose to braise it, smoke it, or slow-cook it, beef brisket is sure to be a hit with your family and friends. With a little planning and preparation, you can easily create a delicious and memorable meal that everyone will enjoy.
