CLASSIC BEEF BRISKET WITH CARAMELIZED ONIONS



Classic Beef Brisket With Caramelized Onions image

This is a classic brisket recipe with no bells and whistles, just deep flavor, moist succulent meat and lots of caramelized onions. The only caveat: Buy a brisket that's not too lean. You want it well-marbled with fat or the result will be dry, not juicy.

Provided by David Tanis

Categories     dinner, meat, main course

Time 4h

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

3 tablespoons kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon paprika (preferably Hungarian)
Pinch of cayenne
5 to 7 pounds beef brisket, not too lean
1 cup red or white wine
12 cloves
1 whole head of garlic
3 bay leaves
3 allspice berries
6 large onions, peeled, and sliced crosswise 1/4-inch thick
3 tablespoons olive oil
Parsley sprigs, for garnish
1/4 cup slivered scallions (optional)

Steps:

  • In a small bowl, mix together salt, pepper, paprika and cayenne. Season brisket generously on all sides with salt mixture. (Use about 2 tablespoons and reserve remaining mixture.) If possible, wrap and refrigerate several hours or overnight, then bring to room temperature.
  • Heat oven to 300 degrees. Place brisket in a shallow roasting pan or earthenware baking dish. Pour wine and 2 cups water over the brisket, then add cloves, garlic, bay leaves and allspice berries.
  • Scatter about 1/3 of the sliced onions over brisket. Cover with foil or a tight-fitting lid. Place in oven and bake for about 3 hours or until meat is quite tender when probed with a fork. (Be careful not to overcook; you want slices, not shreds.)
  • Meanwhile, place a large skillet over high heat and add olive oil. Add remaining onions and season with remaining salt mixture. As onions begin to brown, reduce heat to medium. Cook, uncovered, turning onion slices with a spatula every few minutes until caramelized and fork-tender, about 15 to 20 minutes. Add 1/2 cup water to onions and simmer a few minutes more. (For more flavor, use broth from the brisket pan instead.) Onions may be prepared in advance and reheated.
  • To serve, transfer brisket to a cutting board. Trim extraneous fat from meat. With a large knife, cut meat across the grain into 1/4-inch slices. Strain braising liquid into a saucepan (discard solids left in strainer) and skim any rising fat from surface.
  • Arrange sliced meat on a platter. Cover with caramelized onions and ladle some hot braising liquid over. Garnish with parsley sprigs and sprinkle with scallions, if using. Serve remaining juices separately.

SLOW-COOKER CARAMELIZED ONION DIP



Slow-Cooker Caramelized Onion Dip image

With sweet, melty onions mixed into a creamy base and brought to life with a couple of savory ingredients, this luscious dip will keep everyone hovering around the bowl and, in between bites, talking to each other about how good it is! And since that's what parties are all about, we think this is the recipe you need next time you entertain. The inspiration behind this recipe was the crowd-favorite onion dip that you buy in a tub at the grocery store, but our goal wasn't simply to replicate. While we wanted to hit the same savory and rich notes of the original dip, we also wanted to create something new that would be worth the effort to make from scratch, without demanding too much effort. This wasn't too big a challenge for the Betty Crocker Test Kitchen experts, who came up with the idea of caramelizing onions in a slow cooker, so all you really have to do is chop the onions and forget about them for the rest of the day. With such a flavorful base, it doesn't take much to round out the recipe: cream cheese, a little mayo, fresh herbs, a dash of soy sauce-that's really all there is to it. Next time you have people coming around, give this recipe a try.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cut of beef: Chuck roast, brisket, and short ribs are all good options for slow cooker beef recipes. These cuts have a lot of connective tissue, which breaks down during the long cooking process and results in tender, flavorful meat.
  • Brown the beef before cooking: Browning the beef in a skillet over medium-high heat before adding it to the slow cooker will help to develop its flavor and create a richer sauce.
  • Add plenty of vegetables: Vegetables add flavor, nutrients, and texture to slow cooker beef recipes. Common vegetables used in these recipes include onions, carrots, celery, potatoes, and mushrooms.
  • Use a good quality beef broth: The beef broth you use will have a big impact on the flavor of the final dish. Choose a broth that is low in sodium and has a rich, beefy flavor.
  • Cook the beef on low for at least 8 hours: This will give the meat time to break down and become tender. If you are short on time, you can cook the beef on high for 4-6 hours, but the meat will not be as tender.

Conclusion:

Slow cooker beef recipes are a great way to enjoy a delicious, comforting meal with minimal effort. With a little planning, you can have a hot, home-cooked meal waiting for you when you get home from work or school. So next time you're looking for an easy and flavorful meal, give one of these slow cooker beef recipes a try.
