Number Of Ingredients 13

One 3-pound beef brisket, first-cut or flat-half cut, trimmed of any excess fat
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons canola oil
1 medium onion, cut in 1/2, then thinly sliced into 1/2 moons
3 cloves garlic, chopped (about 1 tablespoon)
One 15-ounce can tomato sauce, preferably no salt added

1/3 cup raisins
5 black peppercorns
1 allspice berry

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cut of brisket: Brisket is a tough cut of meat, so it is important to choose one that is well-marbled. This will help to tenderize the meat and make it more flavorful.
  • Prepare the brisket properly: Before cooking, trim any excess fat from the brisket. You can also score the fat cap to help the flavors penetrate the meat.
  • Use a good quality sweet and sour sauce: The sauce is an important part of this dish, so be sure to use a good quality one. You can make your own sauce or use a store-bought variety.
  • Cook the brisket slowly: Brisket is a tough cut of meat, so it needs to be cooked slowly to tenderize it. The best way to do this is to braise the brisket in a covered pot in the oven.
  • Let the brisket rest before serving: Once the brisket is cooked, let it rest for at least 15 minutes before slicing and serving. This will help the juices to redistribute throughout the meat.

Conclusion:

Sweet and sour brisket is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a special occasion. The combination of sweet and sour flavors is sure to please everyone at the table. Serve the brisket with rice, noodles, or vegetables for a complete meal.
