SLOW-COOKED, TEXAS-STYLE BEEF BRISKET



Slow-Cooked, Texas-Style Beef Brisket image

This slow-cooker recipe comes directly from the heart of a wonderful Texas cook who makes the best brisket in the world! Yay, Papa Louis! He shared it with me years ago, via my sister (his daughter-in-law). I change it from time to time by adding ingredients to make it more Mexican (serve it with tortillas), or leave it as is and serve it with fresh rolls.

Provided by Good Food team

Categories     Buffet, Dinner, Main course, Supper

Time 6h30m

Number Of Ingredients 17

about a 5kg/ 11 lb piece of beef brisket
500 ml/ 18 fl oz beef stock
1 tbsp sunflower oil
1 small onion , finely chopped
3 garlic cloves , crushed
500 ml/ 18 fl oz tomato ketchup
100 ml/ 3.5 fl oz Worcestershire sauce
75 ml/ 2.5 fl oz lemon juice
2 tbsp brown sugar
1 tbsp malt vinegar
2 tsp Dijon mustard
1 tsp crushed chilli flakes
1 tsp Tabasco sauce
1 tsp dried thyme
2 tbsp each chilli powder and mustard powder
1 tbsp each paprika , ground cumin, garlic powder, ground black pepper, caster sugar
1 bay leaf , crushed

Steps:

  • To make the barbecue sauce, heat the oil in a frying pan, then cook onion and garlic for a few mins until soft. Add the rest of the sauce ingredients to the pan with a good pinch of salt and simmer for 20 mins. Use a hand blender or food processor to whizz to a smooth purée.
  • Heat oven to 150C/130C fan/gas 2. Make the rub by mixing all the ingredients together with a pinch of salt. Rub the mix all over the beef and set aside.
  • In a large roasting tin, mix the beef stock and ½ the barbecue sauce. Add the brisket to the tin, cover tightly with foil, then cook for 4-5 hrs until the meat is really tender when you push a fork into it. The beef can be prepared the night before - just leave it to cool in the tin covered with foil, but don't refrigerate.
  • To finish the beef, get a barbecue fired up and wait until the coals are completely ashen - you want a low, not fierce, heat. Lift the beef out of the roasting tin and place on the barbecue to char. If your barbecue has a lid, close it now. Cook for about 20 mins, turning it carefully with tongs, until lightly charred all over and heated through. Lift onto a board and serve sliced with the remaining barbecue sauce on the side.

SLOW-COOKED TEXAS BEER BRISKET



Slow-Cooked Texas Beer Brisket image

Editor's note: The recipe and introductory text below are adapted from Elizabeth Karmel's Web site, girlsatthegrill.com . On the road to Lockhart, Texas in the Hill Country outside of Austin, I discovered barbecue heaven where smoke meets beef. This slow-cooked brisket is crunchy and almost burnt on the outside, tender and juicy on the inside. After tasting a delicate 2-pound portion, I got some tips from the pit master himself and promptly went home and created my own version. The simple salt-and-pepper Lockhart Dry Rub is favored by the old guard and the Tricked-Up Brisket Rub is akin to what some of the younger up-starts in the barbecue world are doing to add a little more dimension to their burnt ends. Both rubs are great for slow-cooking and smoking brisket. You only need to make one rub to make this brisket so just pick whichever is more appealing to you. Be sure to purchase an untrimmed brisket. The meat needs all of the fat cap to keep it moist during the long cooking time.

Yield Makes 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 (7 to 9 pound) beef brisket, untrimmed
1/2 cup Lockhart Dry Rub , Tricked-Up Brisket Rub , or favorite barbecue rub
1 bottle beer
Post oak or oak wood chips, soaked in water for 30 minutes

Steps:

  • Grilling Method: Indirect/Medium-Low Heat
  • Sprinkle brisket liberally with the rub of your choice.
  • Set-up grill for indirect cooking and place smoker box in gas grill if using. If using a charcoal grill, pour beer into a drip pan and place the drip pan on the charcoal grate between the two piles of charcoal. If using a gas grill, pour the beer into a small drip pan and put on the far-left corner of the cooking grates. (The beer is in the pan to add moisture to the cooking environment while the meat smokes. This is a good idea anytime you smoke-cook foods for a long period of time because smoke reduces the moisture in the air.)
  • Place wood chips that have been soaked in water for 30 minutes directly on the gray-ashed charcoal, if using a charcoal grill, or in the smoker box if using a gas grill.
  • Place brisket (fat side up) in center of the cooking grate over the drip pan. You will not turn the brisket during the cooking time at all. Grill 5 to 7 hours or until meat thermometer registers 180°F. When done, remove brisket from grill and let rest 20 minutes. Slice thin and serve immediately with pickled okra and sliced white bread.

SLOW COOKER TEXAS STYLE BEEF BRISKET RECIPE - (4.5/5)



Slow Cooker Texas Style Beef Brisket Recipe - (4.5/5) image

Provided by ShoDav

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 (2.5 - 3) pound lean beef brisket
Marinade
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
2 bay leaves
3 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon cumin
1 (4.5 ounce) can diced green chilis
1/2 cup broth, low sodium, fat free (beef, chicken or vegetable will work)
1 teaspoon celery seeds
1 teaspoon black pepper
Kosher or sea salt to taste
1 cup spicy barbecue sauce, more or less to taste (we like Annie's Naturals, BBQ Sauce) or check out our recipe

Steps:

  • Combine all the ingredients--except barbecue sauce--in a bowl, stir and pour over brisket. I like to marinate the brisket right in the slow cooker insert. Marinating is optional but it really adds to the flavor. Marinate brisket in the refrigerator over night if preferred, otherwise move to the next step. Note: If your brisket has a layer of fat, be sure to place the brisket fat side up in the slow cooker. After brisket is done and goes in the roaster pan, remove fat and discard before shredding, slicing or adding barbecue sauce. All all marinade ingredients into the slow cooker, stir and add brisket. Cover and cook on low 8 hours or until tender and easily flakes with a fork. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Add brisket, along with 1/2 cup juices from the slow cooker, to a roasting pan. Discard the remaining liquid along with bay leafs. Either pull the brisket apart with 2 forks or slice thinly across the grain. Pour barbecue sauce over brisket and heat for 15 minutes. Serve on toasted wheat buns or rolls if desired. TIP: To lower the calories, fat and carbohydrates, simply cut the serving size in half...which will equal 1/2 cup.

LOW AND SLOW TEXAS OVEN BRISKET



Low and Slow Texas Oven Brisket image

For years R. B. could not stop falling for the latest food magazine pitch for perfectly smoked, tender beef brisket. Finally, after a twelve-hour ordeal of tending the fire and at least six episodes of wrapping and unwrapping and mopping, Min led him from the patio and into the kitchen and showed him around. Since that breakthrough, brisket is what's for dinner much more often. Whether you're cooking indoors or out, the brisket's best friend is heavy-duty aluminum foil to trap moist heat and smoke. R. B.'s reformed oven method for brisket is to wrap it once, tuck it in a warm oven, and go to bed. Who needs melatonin with the aroma of a brisket wafting through the house in the wee hours? Be prepared to wake up ravenous.

Yield makes 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 medium onion, chopped
6 garlic cloves, chopped
One 4- to 6-pound beef brisket with a layer of fat
3 to 4 tablespoons Cheater Chili Dry Rub (page 45)
1/4 cup bottled smoke
1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce

Steps:

  • HEAT the oven to 250°F.
  • SCATTER the onion and garlic in the middle of a sheet of heavy-duty aluminum foil large enough to generously wrap around the meat. Lay the brisket on top and rub all sides with the dry rub. Pour the bottled smoke and Worcestershire over the meat.
  • SEAL the foil around the meat. Carefully place the foil pack in a large roasting pan. Roast the brisket for 7 to 9 hours, until the internal temperature is at least 190°F and the meat is pull-apart tender.
  • REMOVE the brisket from the oven. Open the foil and allow the juices to collect in the pan. Move the brisket to a cutting board and thinly slice it against the grain. Serve with the warm meat juices.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cut of meat: Brisket is a large, tough cut of meat that benefits from long, slow cooking. Look for a brisket that is well-marbled with fat, as this will help to keep it moist and flavorful.
  • Trim the fat: Before cooking, trim away any excess fat from the brisket. This will help to reduce the amount of grease in the finished dish.
  • Season the brisket generously: Rub the brisket all over with a mixture of salt, pepper, and your favorite spices. This will help to create a flavorful crust.
  • Sear the brisket: Before braising the brisket, sear it in a hot skillet over medium-high heat. This will help to brown the meat and lock in the juices.
  • Braise the brisket: Place the seared brisket in a large pot or Dutch oven. Add enough beef broth or beer to cover the brisket by at least 1 inch. Bring the liquid to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for at least 8 hours, or until the brisket is fall-apart tender.
  • Let the brisket rest: Once the brisket is cooked, remove it from the pot and let it rest for at least 30 minutes before slicing. This will help the meat to reabsorb its juices.

Conclusion:

Texas beer brisket is a delicious and flavorful dish that is perfect for a special occasion. By following these tips, you can make a brisket that is fall-apart tender and bursting with flavor. So next time you're looking for a hearty and satisfying meal, give Texas beer brisket a try!
