Pioneer Woman Beef Brisket Food

TANGY TOMATO BRISKET

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 275 degrees F.
• Place the brisket in an oven-safe pan. Combine the ketchup and soup mix in a bowl, and then stir it around to mix. Pour in 1 cup water and stir to combine. (You can add more water if needed!)
• Pour the sauce all over the brisket, and then flip the brisket over to coat the other side. Now just cover the pan with foil and roast in the oven for 6 to 7 hours.
• Remove the pan from the oven and test the brisket to make sure it's fork-tender. The brisket should fall apart if you look at it! Slice the brisket into thin strips, then return the beef to the sauce and keep it warm until you're ready to serve.

BRAISED BEEF BRISKET

Steps:

• Combine the beef consomme, soy sauce, lemon juice, liquid smoke and garlic in a large roasting pan (a disposable is just fine). Place the brisket in the marinade, fat-side up. Cover tightly with foil. Marinate in the refrigerator for 24 to 48 hours.
• When ready to cook, preheat the oven to 300 degrees F.
• Cook the brisket in the foil-covered pan until fork-tender, about 40 minutes per pound (6 to 7 hours). Transfer to a cutting board, slice against the grain and put the slices back into the cooking liquid. Serve immediately, spooning the juice over the slices. (Barbecue sauce may be used, if preferred.)
• You may store the pan in the fridge for up to 2 days, or freeze for use at a later date. If fat collects and hardens at the top, remove and discard.
• Brisket is great with mashed potatoes, with the juice spooned over the top. It is also great on a sandwich with melted cheese.

CAJUN BRISKET

Steps:

• Combine the kosher salt, seasoned salt, onion powder, garlic powder, paprika, black pepper, cayenne, lemon pepper, thyme and oregano in a bowl. Stir in the brown sugar. Rub the brisket with the dry rub, wrap in plastic TIGHTLY and refrigerate overnight.
• When ready to cook, preheat the oven to 275 degrees F.
• Put the brisket in a baking pan. Top with the celery, garlic, onions and green peppers. Pour over the tomatoes and tomato paste and stir, then add the coffee. Cover with foil and bake until the meat is very tender and shreds easily, 6 to 8 hours.
• Remove the meat to a large cutting board and shred. Serve the shredded meat with the vegetables and juices. Garnish with chopped parsley. Serve with grits.
• Heat the butter and oil in a pan and add the jalapenos, onions and bell peppers. Cook until softened, 5 minutes or so.
• Pour in the grits, followed by the broth and 3 cups water. Stir, and then bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, and then cover and cook for 30 to 40 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• Add the half-and-half. Stir, and then cook until the grits are tender, another 20 to 30 minutes. At any time, add more broth if the grits look like they need more cooking liquid.
• Remove the grits from the heat and stir in the cheese. Serve immediately.

BETH'S BRISKET

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F.
• Put the brisket in a roasting pan and scatter the mushrooms, carrots, celery and onions on top. Whisk together the ketchup, brown sugar, soy sauce, vinegar, Worcestershire and 2 cups water in a bowl and pour it over the top. Cover the pan with foil and cook for about 5 hours.
• Transfer the brisket to a plate, cover it with foil and let it rest for 20 minutes. Transfer the vegetables to a plate and cover with foil to keep warm. Skim most of the fat from the liquid and strain.
• To serve, slice the brisket and put it on a platter with the vegetables. Pour over the sauce and serve with extra sauce on the side.

BRAISED BRISKET AND VEGETABLES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F.
• Season the brisket on both sides with salt and pepper. In a Dutch over medium-high heat, brown the brisket in the olive oil on both sides for 6 to 8 minutes per side. Set aside.
• Add the onions, carrots and parsnips and saute for a minute or so until slightly browned. Add the broth, wine, brown sugar, soy sauce, garlic and tomato paste and stir together. Put the brisket on top and place the whole bunches of rosemary and thyme around the brisket. Cover the pot, transfer to the oven and cook until the meat is fork-tender, about 5 hours.
• Remove the brisket from the pot and cover it in foil to rest for 10 minutes. Remove the herbs from the sauce and skim off any fat from the top. Slice the meat and return it to the pot to warm up. Sprinkle with the parsley before serving.

ROASTED BRISKET SLIDERS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 275 degrees F. Cover a sheet pan with foil and place a baking rack on top.
• In a small bowl, mix together the paprika, brown sugar, garlic powder, chili powder, salt and pepper. Set aside.
• Place the brisket onto the rack over the prepared sheet pan, fat-side down. With a sharp knife, cut 8 slits into the brisket, placing a garlic clove into each slit. Season the brisket with the spice mixture, flip and season the other side, leaving the fat side facing upwards.
• Roast until very tender, 7 to 8 hours. Let rest for 10 minutes, then slice the brisket into thin strips.
• Serve with the rolls, slaw, peppers, relish, pickles and spinach.

TEXAS BRAISED BRISKET

Steps:

• For the beef: Put the garlic and onions into a 6-quart slow cooker. Place the brisket on top. Sprinkle over the ancho powder and 1 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Pour in the enchilada sauce. Cover and cook on low until the meat falls apart, about 8 hours.
• For the tortillas: Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Wrap the corn tortillas and flour tortillas in foil and warm them in the oven for 15 minutes. Serve the meat with the tortillas as part of a taco bar.
• Add the avocados, cilantro, sour cream, milk, salt, pepper and lime zest and juice to a blender. Blend until smooth. Serve as part of a taco bar.
• Add the beans, chili powder, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and 2 teaspoons pepper to a large pot. Add cold water to cover by 2 inches. Bring to the boil, reduce the heat and simmer, covered, until tender, about 6 hours. Serve as part of a taco bar.
• Heat up a grill pan and slap the peppers on. Cook, turning them occasionally, until blistered on all sides and softened, about 8 minutes total. Remove and set aside. Serve as part of a taco bar.
• Add the jalapenos, tomatoes, onions, mangoes, cilantro, lime juice and salt to a bowl and stir together. Serve as a taco bar fixing.
• In a blender or food processor (see Cook's Note), combine the diced tomatoes, whole tomatoes, cilantro, onions, garlic, chiles, hot sauce, cumin, salt, sugar and lime juice. Pulse until you get the salsa to the consistency you like; I do about 10 to 15 pulses. Test seasonings with a tortilla chip, if you dare. Refrigerate for at least an hour before serving.

SLOW COOKER BRISKET

Steps:

• In a small bowl, combine the soup mix, sugar, salt, and pepper. Sprinkle the mixture over both sides of the brisket and rub it into the meat.
• Place the meat, fat cap side down, into a 6 to 8-quart slow cooker. Place the thyme sprigs, garlic, and bay leaves on top of brisket. Add the carrots, potatoes, celery, and onion over top.
• In a liquid measuring cup, whisk together the stock, Worchestershire sauce and cornstarch until the cornstarch is fully dissolved. Pour the liquid into the slow cooker. Cover and cook on high for 5-6 hours, or low for 8 hours until the brisket is tender to slice, but not falling apart.
• Remove the brisket from the slow cooker and transfer to a cutting board, fat cap side up. Remove and discard the thyme sprigs and bay leaves. Thinly slice the brisket against the grain. Serve alongside the vegetables, drizzled all over with the gravy from the slow cooker.

PIONEER WOMAN'S BEEF BRISKET

Steps:

• Combine first five ingredients in large roasting pan (a disposable is just fine because as Ree says: "For Brisket, I sometimes like to use these heavy, disposable aluminum numbers. Makes it easy to pop in the freezer if you want, or to transport it to a picnic, funeral, or tailgating party"). Place brisket in the marinade, fat side up (Ree says: "I usually scoop up some of the marinade and pour it over the top").
• Cover tightly with foil. Marinate in refrigerator for 24-48 hours.
• When ready to cook, place pan covered in foil into a 300-degree oven. Cook brisket for approximately 40 minutes per pound. After your approximate cooking time, open the oven door and peel back the foil. Stick two forks into the meat and make sure it's fork-tender/falling apart, which means you can pull it apart to some degree. It may still be tough in the middle. If it is, just cover it and stick it back in for another hour.
• When fork-tender, transfer whole brisket to a cutting board. With a long, serrated knife, begin cutting away the slab of fat. It should be very easy to remove. If you get a little meat with it, don't panic. There's plenty where that came from.
• Slice against the grain and place slices back into the cooking liquid. Serve immediately, spooning juice over the slices. Barbeque sauce may be used, if preferred. The sauce is really tasty and it'll keep it really moist. If you serve potatoes with it, go ahead and spoon some jus over them, too.
• You may store pan in fridge for up to two days or freeze for use at a later date. If fat collects and hardens at the top, remove and discard.
• Brisket is great with mashed potatoes, with the juice spooned over the top. It's also great on a sandwich with melted cheese.
