Time 4h20m

Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 (4 pound) beef brisket
ground black pepper to taste
2 onions, thickly sliced
2 cloves garlic, peeled and cut in half
salt and pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Heat the oil in a large deep skillet or pot over medium-high heat. Season the brisket generously with black pepper. Place in the pan and cook until the surface is a rich brown color, not burnt, but dark. Lift the roast and scatter the onions in the pan. Place the uncooked side of the roast down onto the onions. Repeat the browning process.
  • Add the garlic to the pan, and fill with enough water to almost cover the roast. Bring to a simmer. Reduce heat to low and cover with a lid or tight-fitting aluminum foil. Simmer for 4 hours, turning the roast over once halfway through. The roast should be fork tender.
  • Remove the brisket to a serving platter. Bring the broth in the pan to a simmer, scraping the bottom to loosen any browned bits. Cook until reduced to a thin gravy. Taste and season with salt and pepper if needed.

Time 3h

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 lb beef brisket
1 c water
1 c ketchup
1/2 c white vinegar
2 onions, sliced
1 clove garlic, minced
3/4 c brown sugar
1 Tbsp salt

Steps:

  • 1. Heat brisket in a large skillet or dutch oven over medium-high heat. Cook until browned on all sides. Stir in water, ketchup, vinegar, onions, garlic, brown sugar, and salt. Bring to a boil, then cover and reduce heat to medium-low. Continue simmering until tender, turning brisket occasionally, 2 hours and 30 minutes to 3 hours and 30 minutes.
  • 2. Remove brisket and allow to cool before slicing the meat against the grain. Place brisket slices in a 9x13 inch baking pan or large platter and pour gravy on top. Cover and refrigerate overnight. Remove any excess fat and reheat before serving.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cut of brisket: Brisket is a large, tough cut of meat, so it's important to choose one that has a good amount of marbling. This will help the brisket to stay moist and flavorful during cooking.
  • Trim the brisket: Before cooking, trim the brisket of any excess fat. This will help the brisket to cook more evenly and will also prevent the fat from burning.
  • Season the brisket: Season the brisket generously with salt, pepper, and other spices. This will help to develop a flavorful crust on the outside of the brisket.
  • Cook the brisket slowly: Brisket is a tough cut of meat, so it needs to be cooked slowly in order to become tender. The best way to cook brisket is to braise it in a liquid, such as beef broth or water. This will help to keep the brisket moist and flavorful.
  • Let the brisket rest: After cooking, let the brisket rest for at least 30 minutes before slicing and serving. This will help the juices to redistribute throughout the brisket, making it more tender and flavorful.

Conclusion:

Cooking brisket is a labor of love, but it's definitely worth it. With a little patience and care, you can create a delicious and flavorful brisket that your family and friends will love. So next time you're looking for a special dish to serve, give brisket a try.
