CHRISTMAS BRISKET
Much to my surprise and delight, my family has decided to try and have something different for Christmas. When I asked my brother what to make instead of the traditional ham, he suggested brisket, a cut of meat I'd never cooked before. (I was thinking roast beef, but when you get the ball, you have to run with it.) After reading lots of recipes and boggled by the options, I decided to blend them into this recipe. Made in a Crock Pot, it doesn't get any easier and the results are melt-in-your-mouth tender.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Place the brisket in a heavy roasting pan. In a small bowl, combine the salt, pepper, garlic, and oregano. Rub the mixture on the brisket. Pile the carrots, celery, onions, and bay leaves on the brisket and pour in enough tomato juice to come about 3/4 of the way up the meat and vegetables. Cover the top of the pan with 2 sheets of parchment paper, then with aluminum foil. (The tomato juice will react unpleasantly with the aluminum foil if they touch.)
- Bake for 3 1/2 hours, or until the meat is tender. Remove the meat from the pan and keep it warm. Place the pan on 2 burners and boil the vegetables and sauce over medium heat for another 30 minutes, or until the sauce is thickened.
- To serve, slice the meat across the grain. Serve with the vegetables.
Tips:
- Choose the Right Brisket: Opt for a well-marbled brisket with a thick layer of fat, which will render and keep the meat moist during cooking.
- Prepare the Brisket: Trim excess fat, leaving a 1/4-inch layer, and pat dry. Applying a dry rub of your choice enhances the flavor.
- Slow and Low Cooking: Brisket benefits from a long, slow cooking process. Roast it at 225°F (107°C) for several hours, allowing the connective tissues to break down and tenderize.
- Basting and Wrapping: Baste the brisket with its own juices or a mixture of liquids every few hours to keep it moist. Wrapping the brisket in foil or butcher paper towards the end of cooking helps retain moisture and accelerates tenderization.
- Resting the Brisket: After cooking, let the brisket rest for at least 30 minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and flavorful meat.

Christmas brisket is a delectable and crowd-pleasing dish that requires patience and attention to detail. By following these tips and carefully executing each step, you'll create a tender, juicy, and flavorful brisket that will be the star of your holiday feast.
