Easy and festive brisket, straight from my grandma in Newfoundland. This recipe is goof-proof and very tasty. Really good with a glass of Lambrusco, a sparkling red wine, or with ale.

NANA'S BRISKET

This is my grandmother's brisket recipe and the sauce is especially good on kasha varnishkes. I like making it in a crockpot, but my mother still makes it on the stovetop or in the oven, which are both good options. If you can't find Washington's Rich Brown Seasoning (try online), beef bouillon powder can be substituted (but it won't be as good!) The sauce is thin, and I've tried thickening it before, but it isn't as good.

Tips:

  • Choosing the right cut of beef is essential for a tender and flavorful brisket. Look for a brisket that is well-marbled with a good amount of fat. This will help keep the meat moist and juicy during the long cooking process.
  • Use a flavorful rub to coat the brisket before cooking. This will help create a delicious crust on the outside of the meat and infuse it with flavor.
  • Cook the brisket low and slow. This will help tenderize the meat and allow the flavors to develop fully.
  • Baste the brisket with cooking juices or broth throughout the cooking process. This will help keep the meat moist and prevent it from drying out.
  • Let the brisket rest before slicing and serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful brisket.

Conclusion:

Nana Lara's brisket is a classic dish that is perfect for any occasion. By following these tips, you can easily create a delicious and flavorful brisket that your family and friends will love. Whether you are a seasoned cook or a beginner, this recipe is sure to impress. So next time you are looking for a special meal, give Nana Lara's brisket a try. You won't be disappointed.
