Ingredients

2 tablespoons paprika
2 tablespoons garlic powder
2 tablespoons ground black pepper
2 tablespoons sea salt
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
⅓ cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 (16 ounce) package sliced fresh mushrooms
3 shallots, chopped
¼ cup unsalted margarine
1 ½ cups Worcestershire sauce (such as Lea & Perrins®), divided
1 (5 pound) beef brisket
2 cups red wine
½ cup water
1 clove garlic, chopped
1 (32 fluid ounce) container beef broth (such as Progresso®)
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce (such as Lea & Perrins®)
2 tablespoons unsalted margarine, thinly sliced

Steps:

Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
Mix paprika, garlic powder, black pepper, sea salt, and cayenne pepper in a bowl until thoroughly combined. Set spice mixture aside.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat; cook and stir mushrooms and shallots until mushrooms have released their liquid, 5 to 8 minutes. Set mushroom mixture aside.
Melt 1/4 cup margarine in a large skillet over medium-high heat and stir in 1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce. Rub beef brisket thoroughly with spice mixture; place brisket into the margarine and Worcestershire sauce.
Brown the brisket well on all sides, about 5 minutes per side. As the Worcestershire sauce cooks into the brisket, pour in more, about 1/2 cup at a time, until 1 1/2 cup Worcestershire sauce has been added.
Place a rack into a heavy Dutch oven; place the brisket onto the rack. Pour in the Worcestershire sauce pan drippings, red wine, water, garlic, and beef broth. Top the brisket with the mushroom mixture. Drizzle 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce over the mushrooms and top with 2 tablespoons sliced unsalted margarine.
Cover the Dutch oven and bake brisket in the preheated oven for 3 hours. Reduce heat to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C) and bake 1 more hour. Reduce oven temperature to 225 degrees F (105 degrees C) and bake 1 additional hour. Baste with pan drippings every hour.
Let the brisket rest for about 20 minutes before slicing thinly across the grain. Serve with pan gravy.

Categories Main Course

Time 5h55m

Number Of Ingredients 22

Ingredients

1 first-cut brisket (about 5 pounds)
2 tablespoons brown sugar
2 tablespoons paprika (smoked if possible)
2 teaspoons dry mustard
2 teaspoons garlic powder
2 teaspoons onion powder
2 teaspoons salt
½ teaspoon cumin
½ teaspoon dried basil
½ teaspoon dried thyme
¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 tablespoon vegetable or canola oil
1 cup chopped onion
¼ cup chopped celery
¼ cup chopped green bell pepper
2 tablespoons minced garlic
⅛ teaspoon cayenne pepper (or to taste)
3 tablespoons white wine vinegar
3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
½ cup ketchup
3 cups beef broth
2 bay leaves

Steps:

If the brisket has a thick layer of fat, trim it down to ¼-inch. Mix together rub ingredients. Rub all over brisket, wrap it in plastic wrap or place in in a sealable container and refrigerate overnight, or for at least 8 hours.
Preheat the oven to 300°F. Place the brisket in a roasting pan and cover the baking pan with a lid, or seal it well with foil. Bake for 3 hours.
Meanwhile, heat the oil in a small pot over medium heat. Add the onion, celery, bell pepper and garlic and sauté for 3 minutes until the vegetables start to soften. Add the cayenne, vinegar, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, vinegar, broth and bay leaves. Bring to a simmer and simmer for 10 minutes until it reduces slightly. Remove from the heat.
Take the brisket from the oven, turn it over, and pour the half of the sauce into the pan over the brisket, recover the pan (if using foil, cover the pan tightly, using towels to protect your hands from the hot pan). Reserve the rest of the sauce in the pot. Continue cooking in the oven for another 2 hours or so, or until the meat is just about fork tender. Remove the foil and continue baking for another 30 minutes until the outside of the brisket has browned up and gotten a bit crusty.
Remove from the oven, take the brisket out of the pan, and let it sit on a cutting board tented with foil (with a little moat to catch the juices!) for 20 minutes before slicing across the grain. If there is any sauce left in the pan, skim off the fat and add it to the remaining sauce in the pot, and heat it again before serving the brisket with the additional sauce for people to drizzle over their meat if they like. If you want a smother sauce you can strain out the solids, or puree it with a blender.

SLOW-COOKED, TEXAS-STYLE BEEF BRISKET

Slow-Cooked, Texas-Style Beef Brisket image

This slow-cooker recipe comes directly from the heart of a wonderful Texas cook who makes the best brisket in the world! Yay, Papa Louis! He shared it with me years ago, via my sister (his daughter-in-law). I change it from time to time by adding ingredients to make it more Mexican (serve it with tortillas), or leave it as is and serve it with fresh rolls.

Slow Cooker Beef Brisket image

Categories Beef Brisket

Time 8h45m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 16

Ingredients

1 tablespoon brown sugar
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon ground paprika
1 teaspoon coarse salt
¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
¼ teaspoon ground mustard powder
¼ teaspoon onion powder
¼ teaspoon garlic powder
2 cups low-sodium beef broth
1 teaspoon liquid smoke
1 teaspoon Worcestershire Sauce
¼ cup water, or as needed
1 (2 pound) beef brisket
2 medium yellow onions, quartered
3 large carrots, cut into 1-inch pieces
¼ cup prepared barbecue sauce

Steps:

Mix brown sugar, chili powder, paprika, salt, pepper, mustard powder, onion powder, and garlic powder for dry rub together in a small bowl.
Mix beef broth, liquid smoke, and Worcestershire sauce for cooking liquid in a separate bowl.
Place onions and carrots in a slow cooker. Pour cooking liquid over top and set to temperature High to let it warm up.
Meanwhile, rinse brisket under cold water. Pat it dry, then season all over with the dry rub. Place brisket in the slow cooker on top of the onions and carrots, with the fatty side facing up. The cooking liquid should reach just to the bottom of the brisket; if not, add a little water.
Cover and cook on Low for 8 hours. Turn the slow cooker off and transfer brisket to a foil-lined sheet pan. Trim some of the fat if desired.
Place barbecue sauce in a bowl. Ladle 1/4 cup hot cooking liquid from the slow cooker into the bowl and mix it with the barbecue sauce. Baste the fatty side of the brisket with this mixture.
Preheat the oven's broiler.
Place the brisket in the preheated oven so there are 6 inches between the top of the brisket and the burner. Broil until the fatty edges start to crisp up, 2 to 4 minutes; watch closely so it doesn't burn.
Remove from the oven and let rest for 10 minutes. Slice brisket thinly and against the grain.
Remove vegetables from the slow cooker with a slotted spoon, and serve alongside the brisket.

Tips:

Choose the right cut of brisket: Brisket is a large, tough cut of meat, so it's important to choose one that is well-marbled with fat. This will help the brisket to stay moist and flavorful during the long cooking process.
Trim the brisket: Before cooking, trim the brisket of any excess fat. This will help the brisket to cook evenly and prevent it from becoming greasy.
Season the brisket: Season the brisket generously with salt, pepper, and your favorite spices. This will help to enhance the flavor of the meat.
Sear the brisket: Before braising or roasting the brisket, sear it over high heat in a large skillet. This will help to develop a flavorful crust on the outside of the meat.
Cook the brisket low and slow: Brisket is a tough cut of meat, so it needs to be cooked low and slow in order to become tender. The ideal cooking temperature is between 200 and 250 degrees Fahrenheit.
Baste the brisket: Baste the brisket with its own juices or a mixture of beef broth and water every few hours during the cooking process. This will help to keep the brisket moist and prevent it from drying out.
Let the brisket rest: Once the brisket is cooked, let it rest for at least 30 minutes before slicing and serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, making it more tender and flavorful.

Conclusion:

Slow-cooked oven-baked beef brisket is a delicious and flavorful dish that is perfect for a special occasion meal. With a little planning and preparation, you can easily make this dish at home. Just be sure to follow the tips above to ensure that your brisket turns out tender, juicy, and flavorful.
