1 -2 garlic clove, pureed
1/2 teaspoon salt

1 1/2 cups sliced onions
1 cup sliced carrot
2 cups fresh Italian plum tomatoes, cored and chopped

Steps:

To reheat, put this dish in a 350° oven for 20 minutes, basting 2-3 times with its juices. ****.

JULIE'S BRISKET

Categories     Beef     Bake

Number Of Ingredients 3

4-6 pound beef brisket
2 cans whole cranberry sauce
2 envelopes lipton onion soup mix

Steps:

  • Mix together cranberry sauce and onion soup mix. Wrap the brisket in heavy duty aluminum foil. Pour cranberry mixture over top. Bake brisket (fully wrapped in foil) for 3 hours at 350 degrees. Put in a dish because some juice will spill out. Cool and then refrigerate overnight. Slice cold meat crosswise with a sharp knife, then place meat and sauce back in pyrex cover with foil and reheat.

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 flavorful during cooking.
  • Trim the brisket: Remove any excess fat from the brisket, leaving a thin layer of fat on the surface.
  • Season the brisket: Generously season the brisket with salt, pepper, and your favorite spices. Be sure to massage the seasonings into the meat so that they penetrate deeply.
  • Cook the brisket low and slow: Brisket is a tough cut of meat, so it is important to cook it low and slow in order to allow the collagen to break down and make the meat tender. The ideal cooking temperature for brisket is between 225 and 250 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Wrap the brisket: Once the brisket has reached an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit, wrap it tightly in aluminum foil. This will help to keep the meat moist and prevent it from drying out.
  • Let the brisket rest: After the brisket has cooked to an internal temperature of 200 degrees Fahrenheit, remove it from the oven and let it rest for at least 30 minutes before slicing and serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, making it more tender and flavorful.

Conclusion:

Brisket is a delicious and versatile cut of meat that can be cooked in a variety of ways. Whether you are looking for a traditional Texas-style brisket or a more modern take on this classic dish, you are sure to find a recipe in this article that suits your taste. With a little time and effort, you can create a mouthwatering brisket that will be the star of your next meal.
