TEXAS OVEN-ROASTED BEEF BRISKET

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Make a dry rub by combining chili powder, salt, garlic and onion powders, black pepper, sugar, dry mustard, and bay leaf. Season the raw brisket on both sides with the rub. Place in a roasting pan and roast, uncovered, for 1 hour.
• Add beef stock and enough water to yield about 1/2 inch of liquid in the roasting pan. Lower oven to 300 degrees F, cover pan tightly and continue cooking for 3 hours, or until fork-tender.
• Trim the fat and slice meat thinly across the grain. Top with juice from the pan.

EASY BAKED BEEF BRISKET

Steps:

• Season both sides of the brisket generously with salt, pepper, and cayenne. For best results, place brisket over an aluminum foil "rack" set over a plate and refrigerate, uncovered, 8 to 12 hours.
• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
• Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add onion and salt. Cook and stir until translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in garlic, rosemary, and apple juice. Increase heat to high and boil until liquid is reduced by about half, about 3 minutes.
• Transfer half of the apple-onion mixture into a baking dish. Place brisket fat-side up on top; cover with remaining apple-onion mixture. Cover baking dish tightly with foil.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour 30 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 250 degrees F (121 degrees C) and bake until fork-tender, about 2 hours 15 minutes. Check for doneness after 2 hours.
• Transfer brisket to a plate and tent with foil.
• Pour the onions and braising liquid into a large measuring cup or bowl. Skim some fat off the top. Puree with a stick blender to create a gravy.
• Slice brisket across the grain and serve with the gravy.

EASY BEEF BRISKET

Steps:

• Check to see if the brisket fits into a Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot with a lid. If not, slice the brisket into 2 pieces against the grain to allow it to fit.
• Put a cooling rack over a baking sheet. Put the brisket on the rack with the side lined with a thin layer of fat touching the rack. Sprinkle the salt and black pepper all over the brisket, making sure to season both sides. Let the brisket come to room temperature for about 30 minutes. (Tip: This step can be done up to 1 day in advance. Refrigerate the seasoned brisket, uncovered. By letting the brisket rest in the refrigerator, the sear will be more even and golden brown.)
• Put a Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot over high heat. Add the oil and heat until shiny, about 30 seconds. Add the brisket fat-side up and sear until golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Turn the brisket over and sear the other side for another 3 to 4 minutes. Remove the brisket from the pot and set aside.
• Reduce the heat to medium high and add the onions. Cook until just translucent, about 3 minutes. Pour the cola into the pot and scrape up any brown bits. Place the brisket back in the pot fat-side up, along with any juices that have collected around it. Bury the brisket under the onions. Add the beef stock, star anise, rosemary sprigs and bay leaf; the stock should not submerge the brisket, but come up about two-thirds of the way. Bring to a simmer and reduce the heat to medium low. Cover the pot and cook for 1 1/2 hours.
• Remove the lid and flip the brisket over, making sure to nestle it back into the softened onions. Cover the pot and continue cooking until the beef is tender but not falling apart, an additional 1 1/2 hours. Remove the beef from the pot and set on a cutting board. Remove the rosemary stems, bay leaf and star anise and discard. Place the pot over high heat and cook the sauce until slightly reduced, about 10 minutes.
• Thinly slice the brisket against the grain and spread onto a serving platter. Top the sliced brisket with the onions and spoon the sauce over the platter. Sprinkle with the parsley and thyme. Serve immediately.

SLOW-COOKER BEEF BRISKET

Steps:

• Spray 6-quart slow cooker with cooking spray. Rub brisket with 1 tablespoon of the vegetable oil. Rub with salt and pepper. Heat 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Cook brisket in skillet 2 minutes on fattiest side, then turn and cook 2 to 3 minutes on other side, until browned. Transfer to slow cooker.
• Reduce heat to medium; add remaining tablespoon of vegetable oil to skillet. Add onions; cook 5 to 8 minutes, stirring frequently, until beginning to brown. Add carrots and garlic; cook 1 minute. Stir in tomatoes and broth; heat just to simmering. Pour mixture over brisket in slow cooker. Cover and cook on Low heat setting 7 to 8 hours or until brisket is very tender.
• Transfer brisket to cutting board; cool slightly, cut into slices, and serve with vegetables and cooking juices.

EASY BEEF BRISKET RECIPE

Steps:

• Place rack in the lower ⅓ of the oven then preheat to 275 degrees. Trim brisket of excess fat, but make sure to leave at least a ¼" layer of fat on the fatty side for flavor-the fatty layer on top essentially 'bastes' the meat as it is cooking. Trim lean side of as much silver skin as possible. Place brisket, fat side up, into a roasting pan that allows 1"-2" of space all the way around the meat then set aside.
• To make the dry rub, mix chili powder, salt, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, brown sugar, pepper, mustard powder and thyme leaves in a small bowl then stir until uniformly combined. Spread entire bowl of dry rub over brisket, coating the top, bottom and sides then return brisket to pan, fatty side up, before cooking.
• Place brisket in oven, uncovered for 1½ hours. Remove from oven then pour the can of beef broth into the bottom of pan. You should have ¼"-½" of liquid in the bottom of the pan. Cover tightly with 2 layers of foil then return to oven for 3-4 hours-when the meat is nice and tender.
• Remove from oven then transfer meat to cutting board. Let it cool for 8-10 minutes before slicing against the grain into thin slices. Pour cooking liquid into a bowl then let the fat collect on top. Skim the oil from the cooking liquid then serve the juice alongside the meat if desired. Enjoy!

SIMPLY THE EASIEST BEEF BRISKET

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).

BEEF BRISKET

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.
