BRAISED BEEF BRISKET



Braised Beef Brisket image

Provided by Ree Drummond : Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time P1DT7h10m

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 cans beef consomme
1 1/2 cups soy sauce
1/2 cup fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons liquid smoke
5 cloves garlic, chopped
10 pounds beef brisket
Prepared barbecue sauce, for serving, optional

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.

Tips:

  • To achieve a tender and flavorful brisket, braising is the ideal cooking method. It involves browning the meat initially, then simmering it slowly in a covered pot with liquid. This technique helps break down tough connective tissues and results in fall-apart tender meat.
  • Selecting the right cut of beef brisket is crucial. Look for a brisket flat or point cut, which are more suitable for braising compared to the whole brisket. These cuts contain more fat, contributing to a richer flavor and preventing the meat from drying out during cooking.
  • Enhance the flavor of the brisket by creating a flavorful braising liquid. Red wine, such as Zinfandel, adds depth and complexity. Beef broth provides a savory base, while vegetables like onions, carrots, and celery contribute sweetness and aromatic notes. Herbs and spices like thyme, rosemary, and garlic elevate the overall taste profile.
  • Sear the brisket before braising to develop a delicious crust and lock in the natural juices. This step adds color and enhances the meat's flavor.
  • Braising time varies depending on the size and thickness of the brisket. Generally, allow 2 to 3 hours of cooking time for a 3-pound brisket. The meat is ready when it reaches an internal temperature of 200°F (93°C). Use a meat thermometer to ensure accurate measurement.
  • While the brisket braises, prepare the accompanying vegetables. Onions and potatoes are classic choices that complement the beef well. Roast the vegetables in the oven or sauté them in a pan. Season them with salt, pepper, and herbs for extra flavor.
  • Once the brisket and vegetables are cooked, combine them in a serving dish. Spoon the braising liquid over the meat and vegetables, ensuring they are well coated in the flavorful sauce.

Conclusion:

Braised beef brisket with Zinfandel, onions, and potatoes is a delectable and hearty dish that showcases the beauty of slow cooking. The combination of tender beef, flavorful sauce, and roasted vegetables creates a symphony of flavors that will satisfy any palate. Whether you're hosting a special occasion dinner or simply seeking a comforting meal, this recipe is sure to impress. With careful preparation and attention to detail, you'll create a dish that will leave your guests or family members craving for more.
