EASY BEEF BRISKET

Provided by Trisha Yearwood

Categories     main-dish

Time 4h15m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

One 3- to 3 1/2-pound trimmed beef brisket
2 tablespoons kosher salt
1 tablespoon freshly cracked black pepper
3 tablespoons canola oil
3 large yellow onions, thinly sliced (about 8 cups)
1 cup cola
2 1/2 cups beef stock
4 dried whole star anise
2 sprigs fresh rosemary
1 dried bay leaf
2 tablespoons fresh flat-leaf parsley, chopped
2 tablespoons fresh thyme, chopped

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.

BRISKET FOR A BEGINNER



Brisket for a Beginner image

This is our favorite Rosh Hashana main dish. The smell of this dish cooking is incredible and the meat will fall apart.

Provided by Carrie Richman

Categories     Meat

Time 3h15m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

3 -4 lbs chuck roast or 3 -4 lbs beef brisket
1 large white onion, chopped
1 cup ketchup
1 envelope dry onion soup mix
1/2 cup water

Steps:

  • Line roasting pan with aluminum foil and coat with cooking spray.
  • Place beef in pan.
  • Mix all ingredients together and pour over beef.
  • Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 2 1/2 to 3 hours at 350 degrees.

Tips:

  • Choose the Right Brisket: Select a brisket that is well-marbled with a nice layer of fat. This will help keep the meat moist and flavorful during cooking.
  • Trim the Brisket: Remove any excess fat from the brisket, leaving about 1/4 inch of fat on the meat. This will help the brisket cook evenly.
  • Season the Brisket: Generously season the brisket with a rub of your choice. A simple rub made with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder works well, or you can use a more complex rub with additional spices and herbs.
  • Smoke the Brisket: Smoke the brisket over indirect heat at a temperature between 225°F and 250°F. This will take several hours, so be patient. You can use a smoker, a charcoal grill, or even a gas grill with a smoker box to smoke the brisket.
  • Wrap the Brisket: Once the brisket has reached an internal temperature of 165°F, wrap it tightly in foil or butcher paper. This will help the brisket cook more evenly and prevent it from drying out.
  • Rest the Brisket: Once the brisket has reached an internal temperature of 195°F to 205°F, remove it from the smoker and let it rest for at least 30 minutes before slicing and serving.

Conclusion:

Smoking a brisket is a great way to cook a delicious and impressive meal. By following these tips, you can ensure that your first brisket turns out perfect. With a little practice, you'll be able to smoke a brisket like a pro!
