Provided by Tyler Florence

Categories     main-dish

Time 4h35m

Yield 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 22

4 large garlic cloves, smashed
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more for seasoning
4 sprigs fresh rosemary, needles striped from the stem and chopped
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 (4 pound) beef brisket, first-cut
Coarsely ground black pepper
4 large carrots, cut in 3-inch chunks
3 celery stalks, cut in 3-inch chunks
4 large red onions, halved
2 cups dry red wine
1 (16-ounce) can whole tomatoes, hand-crushed
1 handful fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves
3 bay leaves
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour (optional)
Potato Pancakes, recipe follows
4 medium russet potatoes, peeled
2 medium onions
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 egg whites, lightly beaten
1/4 cup finely chopped chives
Vegetable oil, for frying
Serving suggestion: applesauce

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
  • On a cutting board, mash the garlic and 1/2 teaspoon of the salt together with the flat-side of a knife into a paste. Add the rosemary and continue to mash until incorporated. Put the garlic-rosemary paste in a small bowl and add 2 tablespoons of olive oil; stir to combine.
  • Season both sides of the brisket with a fair amount of kosher salt and ground black pepper. Place a large roasting pan or Dutch oven over medium-high flame and coat with the remaining olive oil. Put the brisket in the roasting pan and sear to form a nice brown crust on both sides. Lay the vegetables all around the brisket and pour the rosemary paste over the whole thing. Add the wine and tomatoes; toss in the parsley and bay leaves. Cover the pan tightly with aluminum foil and transfer to the oven. Bake for about 3 to 4 hours, basting every 30 minutes with the pan juices, until the beef is fork tender.
  • Remove the brisket to a cutting board and let it rest for 15 minutes. Scoop the vegetables out of the roasting pan and onto a platter, cover to keep warm. Pour out some of the excess fat, and put the roasting pan with the pan juices on the stove over medium-high heat. Boil and stir for 5 minutes until the sauce is reduced by 1/2. (If you want a thicker sauce, mix 1 tablespoon of flour with 2 tablespoons of wine or water and blend into the gravy).
  • Slice the brisket across the grain (the muscle lines) at a slight diagonal. Serve with potato pancakes.
  • Using a box grater or food processor, coarsely grate the potatoes and onions. Put the grated potatoes and onions together in cheesecloth or a tea towel and twist it to squeeze out the excess liquid. Put the dry potatoes and onions in a bowl and season with salt and pepper. Fold in the egg whites and chives to bind the mixture together.
  • Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat and coat with 1/4-inch of oil. For each pancake, take about 2 tablespoons of the potato mixture and drop into the hot oil; gently flatten with a spatula so they fry up thin and crispy. Fry for 3 to 4 minutes on each side, until golden. Remove to paper towels to drain; season with salt while the potato pancakes are still hot. Continue frying, adding more oil as needed, until all of the mixture is used up. Serve immediately with apple sauce, if desired.

JEWISH GRANDMA'S BEST BEEF BRISKET



Jewish Grandma's Best Beef Brisket image

My mother makes a GREAT beef brisket. She got the recipe after watching a friend's Jewish grandmother make it. It is perfect, delicious and easily kosher for Passover. Enjoy! Great with mashed potatoes or potato latkes (latkes with this meal are also kosher) or roasted vegetables (with olive oil, salt and pepper - also kosher). Mazel Tov!

Categories     Main Dish Recipes     Roast Recipes

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.

BEST BEEF BRISKET RECIPE BY TASTY

Though refrigerating your cooked meat overnight is optional, it's a must here at Tasty. A well-rested brisket ensures beautiful, thin, flavorful slices (if you sliced it right out of the oven, the meat would completely fall apart). Serve the brisket with roasted vegetables and the reduced braising liquid for an extra mouthwatering moment.

Provided by Betsy Carter

Categories     Dinner

Time 18h25m

Yield 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 flat cut brisket
1 ½ teaspoons kosher salt, plus 1 teaspoon, plus more as needed
freshly ground black pepper, to taste
4 cups low sodium beef broth
1 can tomato puree
¼ cup red wine vinegar
3 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons sweet paprika
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin
6 sprigs fresh thyme
4 dried bay leaves
½ teaspoon whole black peppercorn
2 teaspoons olive oil
2 medium yellow onions, thinly sliced
5 carrots, cut into 1 in (2.54 cm)
½ cup dry red wine, such as Cabernet Sauvignon or Merlot

Steps:

  • Turn the broiler on high.
  • Set the brisket in a large roasting pan. Season generously on all sides with 1½-2 tablespoons of salt and ground black pepper to taste.
  • Turn the brisket fat-side up and broil for 12-15 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fat cap, until there is no white fat remaining. Flip and broil for another 5-6 minutes on the second side, until browned.
  • Preheat the oven to 275˚F (135°C).
  • In a large bowl, stir together the beef stock, tomato purée, red wine vinegar, honey, paprika, garlic powder, and cumin until well combined.
  • Make a bouquet garni: Fold a 6-inch square piece of cheesecloth in half and lay the thyme, bay leaves, and whole black peppercorns in the center. Fold the sides of the cheesecloth over the herbs and roll up to resemble a cigar. Tie with 3 2-inch pieces of twine to secure.
  • If the roasting pan fits on the stovetop, remove the brisket from the pan and set aside. Place the roasting pan on the stovetop and add the olive oil to the rendered beef fat in the pan. Heat over medium-high heat until shimmering. (Alternatively, remove the brisket from the roasting pan and pour any rendered beef fat into a large pot. Add the olive oil and heat over medium-high heat until shimmering.) Add the onions and carrots and season with the remaining teaspoon of salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are soft and translucent, 6-8 minutes. Deglaze the pan with the red wine, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom.
  • If using the roasting pan, spread the vegetables in an even layer and place the brisket, fat-side up, on top. (If using a separate pot, transfer the vegetables back to the roasting pan, spread in an even layer, and place the brisket on top.) Pour the beef stock mixture over the brisket and nestle the bouquet garni into the vegetables. Cover the pan with heavy-duty aluminum foil.
  • Transfer the roasting pan to the oven and bake for 5-6 hours, until a fork can be easily inserted into the thickest part of the brisket.
  • Remove the roasting pan from the oven and let cool for about 1 hour at room temperature, then transfer to the refrigerator to chill overnight. Resting overnight is optional, but recommended. (The brisket should rest, covered, for a minimum of 1 hour before slicing; however, the meat will be very tender and fall apart easily).
  • The following day, preheat the oven to 200˚F (95°C). Set a wire rack over a baking sheet.
  • Remove the brisket from the braising liquid and transfer to the wire rack. Cover with aluminum foil. Transfer the brisket to the oven and bake for about 1 hour, until warmed through.
  • While the brisket is warming, make the sauce. Remove the bouquet garni from the braising liquid and scoop the solidified fat from the surface (it's okay if you don't get it all; you will skim the sauce as it simmers). Strain the vegetables from the braising liquid and set aside.
  • Transfer 3 cups of the braising liquid to a large, high-walled skillet. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 35-40 minutes, stirring occasionally, and skimming the fat that rises to the surface, until reduced by about half. Transfer to a gravy boat or medium bowl.
  • When ready to serve, thinly slice the brisket against the grain. Serve with the vegetables and reduced braising liquid.
  • Enjoy!

Tips:

  • Choose the right cut of beef: Brisket is the ideal cut for braising, as it has a lot of connective tissue that breaks down during the cooking process, resulting in a tender and flavorful meat.
  • Trim the fat: Remove excess fat from the brisket before cooking to reduce the amount of grease in the final dish.
  • Use a good quality braising liquid: The braising liquid is essential for adding flavor to the brisket. Use a combination of beef broth, red wine, and spices to create a rich and flavorful sauce.
  • Cook the brisket low and slow: Brisket is a tough cut of meat that requires a long cooking time to become tender. Cook the brisket for at least 8 hours, or until it reaches an internal temperature of 200 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Let the brisket rest before serving: Once the brisket is cooked, let it rest for at least 30 minutes before slicing and serving. This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful brisket.

Conclusion:

With careful preparation and a little patience, you can create a delicious and flavorful beef brisket that will impress your family and friends. Experiment with different braising liquids and spices to find the perfect combination of flavors for your taste. Whether you prefer a classic beef brisket or a more adventurous flavor profile, there is a recipe in this article that is sure to satisfy your cravings. So grab a cut of brisket and get cooking!
