Best 7 How To Cook Beef Brisket Recipes
**Beef brisket**, a culinary delight originating from the flavorful world of barbecue, is a dish that tantalizes taste buds with its tender, juicy, and smoky goodness. This cut of beef, sourced from the breast or lower chest of the cow, boasts a rich marbling that, when cooked properly, yields an explosion of beefy flavors. Embark on a culinary journey as we delve into the depths of beef brisket preparation, exploring three distinctive recipes that showcase the versatility and allure of this exceptional cut of meat.
**1. Classic Smoked Beef Brisket:**
Indulge in the timeless tradition of Texan barbecue with this classic smoked beef brisket recipe. Using a simple rub of salt, pepper, and garlic, the brisket is slow-cooked over indirect heat, allowing the smoke to permeate and infuse the meat with an irresistible smoky flavor. The result is a tender and juicy brisket that will have your taste buds dancing with joy.
**2. Braised Beef Brisket with Red Wine:**
This braised beef brisket recipe takes a more refined approach, utilizing the technique of braising to achieve fall-apart tenderness. Simmered in a rich and flavorful broth made with red wine, beef stock, and aromatic vegetables, the brisket becomes incredibly moist and tender. Served with a luscious gravy, this dish is sure to impress your dinner guests.
**3. Korean BBQ Beef Brisket:**
For a taste of Korean barbecue, try this Korean BBQ beef brisket recipe. Marinated in a blend of soy sauce, garlic, ginger, and gochujang (Korean chili paste), the brisket is grilled to perfection, resulting in a slightly charred exterior and a tender, juicy interior. Served with a variety of banchan (side dishes) and a dipping sauce, this dish is a feast for the senses.
EASY BAKED BEEF BRISKET
For a brisket recipe, this is considered very fast. The convention of cooking it low and slow often results in dried-out meat that never reaches the proper internal temperature. Instead of waiting all day and risking such disappointment, we dial up the temperature slightly and bake it in about half the time to ensure it's both tender and moist. Garnish with chives if desired.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
- On a cutting board, mash the garlic and 1/2 teaspoon of the salt together with the flat-side of a knife into a paste. Add the rosemary and continue to mash until incorporated. Put the garlic-rosemary paste in a small bowl and add 2 tablespoons of olive oil; stir to combine.
- Season both sides of the brisket with a fair amount of kosher salt and ground black pepper. Place a large roasting pan or Dutch oven over medium-high flame and coat with the remaining olive oil. Put the brisket in the roasting pan and sear to form a nice brown crust on both sides. Lay the vegetables all around the brisket and pour the rosemary paste over the whole thing. Add the wine and tomatoes; toss in the parsley and bay leaves. Cover the pan tightly with aluminum foil and transfer to the oven. Bake for about 3 to 4 hours, basting every 30 minutes with the pan juices, until the beef is fork tender.
- Remove the brisket to a cutting board and let it rest for 15 minutes. Scoop the vegetables out of the roasting pan and onto a platter, cover to keep warm. Pour out some of the excess fat, and put the roasting pan with the pan juices on the stove over medium-high heat. Boil and stir for 5 minutes until the sauce is reduced by 1/2. (If you want a thicker sauce, mix 1 tablespoon of flour with 2 tablespoons of wine or water and blend into the gravy).
- Slice the brisket across the grain (the muscle lines) at a slight diagonal. Serve with potato pancakes.
- Using a box grater or food processor, coarsely grate the potatoes and onions. Put the grated potatoes and onions together in cheesecloth or a tea towel and twist it to squeeze out the excess liquid. Put the dry potatoes and onions in a bowl and season with salt and pepper. Fold in the egg whites and chives to bind the mixture together.
- Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat and coat with 1/4-inch of oil. For each pancake, take about 2 tablespoons of the potato mixture and drop into the hot oil; gently flatten with a spatula so they fry up thin and crispy. Fry for 3 to 4 minutes on each side, until golden. Remove to paper towels to drain; season with salt while the potato pancakes are still hot. Continue frying, adding more oil as needed, until all of the mixture is used up. Serve immediately with apple sauce, if desired.

Tips:
- Choose the right cut of beef brisket: Look for a brisket that is well-marbled with fat, as this will help to keep the meat moist and flavorful during cooking.
- Trim the brisket: Remove any excess fat from the brisket, leaving a thin layer of fat on the meat. This will help to prevent the brisket from becoming too greasy.
- Season the brisket: Rub the brisket with a generous amount of salt, pepper, and your favorite spices. This will help to enhance the flavor of the meat.
- Sear the brisket: Sear the brisket in a hot pan or grill to brown the meat and create a flavorful crust. This will also help to lock in the juices.
- Slow-cook the brisket: The best way to cook a beef brisket is to slow-cook it. This can be done in a Dutch oven, a slow cooker, or a smoker. Slow-cooking the brisket will allow the meat to become tender and fall apart easily.
- Add liquid to the cooking vessel: When slow-cooking the brisket, add a small amount of liquid to the cooking vessel. This will help to keep the meat moist and prevent it from drying out.
- Cook the brisket until it is fall-apart tender: The brisket is done cooking when it is fall-apart tender. This can take anywhere from 8 to 12 hours, depending on the size of the brisket and the cooking method.
Conclusion:
Beef brisket is a delicious and versatile cut of meat that can be cooked in a variety of ways. By following these tips, you can cook a beef brisket that is tender, flavorful, and fall-apart tender.
