BRISKET IN SWEET-AND-SOUR SAUCE



Brisket in Sweet-and-Sour Sauce image

Brisket is the Zelig of the kitchen. It takes on the character of whoever cooks it. In the early part of the 20th century, when ''The Settlement Cook Book'' reigned supreme in American Jewish households, recipes for savory briskets of beef with sauerkraut, cabbage or lima beans were the norm. As tastes became more exotic, cranberry or barbecue sauce, root beer, lemonade and even sake worked their way into recipes. Here, Coca-Cola is the secret ingredient, along with ginger. The result is sublime and the dish only improves if it's cooked a day in advance of serving it. However, you can prepare and serve it the same day, if you'd like, though you may want to use a fat separator to strain the fat from the finished sauce. Several readers commented that the original cooking time and temperature on the recipe (3 hours, including 1 hour uncovered, at 350 degrees) was inaccurate. We've retested and adjusted the recipe, so the brisket now cooks for 5 to 6 hours, covered, at 325 degrees. Please also note that this recipe is not kosher for Passover.

Time 6h30m

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 first-cut brisket, 6 to 7 pounds, rinsed and patted thoroughly dry
1 medium onion, peeled and quartered
1 2-inch piece fresh ginger, peeled, cut into chunks
6 large cloves garlic
1 cup ketchup
1/2 cup dry red wine
1/4 cup cider vinegar
1/4 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup honey
1/4 cup Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon coarsely ground pepper, or to taste
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1 1/2 cups Coca-Cola or ginger ale
1/2 cup olive oil

Steps:

  • Let meat stand at room temperature for 30 minutes before cooking. Heat oven to 325 degrees.
  • Place everything but the soda, olive oil and brisket into a food processor, and process with steel blade until smooth. Pour the mixture into a large bowl and whisk in soda and olive oil.
  • Place brisket, fat side up, into a heavy baking pan just large enough to hold it, and pour sauce over it. Cover tightly and bake for 3 hours. Turn brisket over, cover pan, and bake 2 to 3 hours more or until fork-tender. Cool, cover brisket and refrigerate overnight in cooking pan.
  • The next day, transfer brisket to a cutting board, cut off fat and slice with a sharp knife against grain, to desired thickness. Set meat aside. Remove any congealed fat from sauce and bring to a boil on top of stove.
  • Heat oven to 350 degrees. Taste sauce to see if it needs reducing. If so, boil it down for a few minutes or as needed. Return meat to sauce and warm in oven for 20 minutes. Serve warm.

POT ROAST IN SWEET AND SOUR SAUCE



Pot Roast in Sweet and Sour Sauce image

Prep time includes browning the roast, this is started on top of the stove then finished cooking in the oven --- the exact amounts really do not matter for this recipe I just eyeball all ingredients, start with 1/3 cup brown sugar and add in more if needed while cooking, when I make this I find that for my taste I need more than 1/3 cup --- the cayenne was left as optional if you like some heat then add it in and adjust to taste or you may used crushed chili flakes, there is tons of sauce to this so there is no need to double the amounts --- cooking time is only estimated it will depend on the size of your roast, this will also work well using a pork roast.

SWEET-AND-SOUR POT ROAST



Sweet-and-Sour Pot Roast image

Provided by Florence Fabricant

Categories     dinner, roasts, main course

Time 2h

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

3 pounds boneless rump roast or top round in one piece
1 cup dry white wine
1/3 cup cider vinegar
1 tablespoon cooking oil
2 cups chopped onions
1 cup chopped carrots
3 cloves minced garlic
1/2 cup raisins
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
3 tablespoons light brown sugar
1 cup beef or veal stock
1/2 cup crushed canned tomatoes
2 bay leaves, crushed
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 to 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice, or to taste

Steps:

  • Place the meat in a deep bowl, add the white wine and vinegar and allow to marinate six to eight hours.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Remove the meat from the marinade, reserving the marinade, and pat the beef dry. Heat the oil in a heavy three-quart casserole. Add the beef and brown it on all sides. Remove the meat from the casserole and add the onions and carrots and cook over medium-low heat until tender and lightly browned. Stir in the garlic, then add the raisins, ginger, allspice and brown sugar. Add the stock, the reserved marinade and the tomatoes. Bring to a simmer, scraping the bottom of the pan. Stir in the bay leaves and salt and pepper to taste. Return meat to casserole.
  • Cover the casserole and place in the oven. Bake for about two hours, until the meat is tender.
  • To serve, remove the meat from the casserole and slice it. Arrange on a platter. Reheat the sauce and check seasoninings. Add some or all the lemon juice if the sauce does not seem tart enough. Spoon some of the hot sauce over the meat and pass the rest.
  • Alternatively, the meat can be refrigerated overnight in the cooking liquid and the next day the meat can be sliced and the sauce reheated before serving. This will improve the meat's flavor and texture and allow the layer of chilled fat on liquid's surface to be removed and discarded.
