Yield 12-15 servings.

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 fresh beef brisket (5 to 6 pounds)

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 during cooking. The best cuts of brisket for braising are the flat cut and the point cut.
  • Trim the brisket of excess fat. Remove any large pieces of fat from the brisket before cooking. This will help to reduce the amount of grease in the finished dish.
  • Season the brisket generously. Rub the brisket all over with a mixture of salt, pepper, and your favorite spices. This will help to develop a flavorful crust on the meat.
  • Braise the brisket low and slow. The best way to cook a brisket is to braise it low and slow. This will allow the meat to become tender and fall apart. Cook the brisket in a covered pot over low heat for at least 8 hours, or until the meat is fork-tender.
  • Let the brisket rest before slicing. Once the brisket is cooked, let it rest for at least 30 minutes before slicing. This will help the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful brisket.

Conclusion:

Savory beef brisket is a classic comfort food that is perfect for a special occasion or a casual get-together. With its rich, flavorful broth and tender, fall-apart meat, brisket is sure to please everyone at the table. Whether you choose to cook it in a traditional Dutch oven or a modern slow cooker, following these tips will help you create a delicious and memorable brisket that will have your family and friends asking for seconds.
