Categories     Beef     Marinate     Roast     Hanukkah     Passover     Dinner     Meat     Brisket     Chill     Party     Dairy Free     Peanut Free     Tree Nut Free     Soy Free     Kosher

Yield Makes 10 to 12 Servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

5 pounds fresh beef brisket, trimmed of excess fat
2 bottles (16.5 ounces each) Coca-Cola (not Diet Coke)
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
Gravy
2 cups Coca-Cola marinade, reserved from above
1 envelope dry onion soup mix (from a 2-ounce package)
1 can (8 ounces) salt-free tomato sauce
1/2 cup tomato ketchup
3 large yellow onions, halved lengthwise and each half sliced about 3/8 inch thick
3 large whole bay leaves (preferably fresh)

Steps:

  • 1. Place brisket in large nonreactive roaster with snug-fitting lid (I used one measuring 15 1/2 inches long, 12 inches wide, and 4 inches deep). Pour Coca-Cola evenly over brisket, cover, and refrigerate 24 hours, turning brisket once or twice in Coca-Cola marinade.
  • 2. When ready to proceed, preheat oven to 325°F. Lift brisket from roaster and pat dry. Line large fine sieve with coffee filter and set over medium-size bowl. Pour in Coca-Cola marinade and let drip through.
  • 3. Rub brisket well on both sides with salt and pepper. Heat oil in very large (15-inch) heavy skillet about 1 minute over high heat until ripples appear on pan bottom. Add brisket and brown 3 to 4 minutes on each side. Return brisket to roaster, now rinsed and dried.
  • 4. For Gravy: Combine 2 cups filtered Coca-Cola marinade, soup mix, tomato sauce, and ketchup and pour over brisket. Scatter sliced onions on top and drop in bay leaves. Note: If you use fresh bay leaves, crinkle them a bit as you drop them into the roaster to release their flavor.
  • 5. Cover roaster, slide into lower third of oven, and braise brisket 4 hours. Check roaster at half time and if liquid seems skimpy-not likely-add a little more filtered Coca-Cola marinade, or beef broth, or water.
  • 6. Remove roaster from oven and set on trivet on counter. Remove lid and cool brisket at least 30 minutes to allow juices to settle and meat to firm up. Note: Some cooks bring the brisket to room temperature before serving. Discard bay leaves and remaining Coca-Cola marinade.
  • 7. To serve, lift brisket to cutting board and slice about 1/4 inch thick-across the grain and slightly on the bias. Overlap brisket slices on large platter and smother with pan gravy and onions. The best accompaniment? For me nothing beats a tart and creamy coleslaw.

We fixed this problem with an unlikely tool: a Dutch oven. Weighing down the brisket with a heavy Dutch oven (the foil makes cleanup easier) ensures a more even, more thorough sear.

Tips:

  • Choose the right brisket: Look for a brisket that is well-marbled with a thick layer of fat on top. This will help keep the meat moist and flavorful during cooking.
  • Prepare the brisket properly: Trim excess fat from the brisket, leaving a thin layer of fat on top. Score the brisket in a diamond pattern to help the rub penetrate the meat.
  • Use a good rub: A good rub will help to flavor the brisket and create a delicious crust. There are many different rub recipes available, so choose one that you like or create your own.
  • Cook the brisket low and slow: Brisket is a tough cut of meat, so it needs to be cooked slowly and at a low temperature to break down the connective tissue and make it tender. The ideal cooking temperature for brisket is between 225°F and 250°F.
  • Let the brisket rest before carving: Once the brisket is cooked, let it rest for at least 30 minutes before carving. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, making it more tender and flavorful.

Conclusion:

Brisket is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. Whether you are cooking it for a special occasion or just a weeknight meal, these tips will help you create a perfect brisket every time.
