EASY BEEF BRISKET



Easy Beef Brisket image

Provided by Trisha Yearwood

Categories     main-dish

Time 4h15m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

One 3- to 3 1/2-pound trimmed beef brisket
2 tablespoons kosher salt
1 tablespoon freshly cracked black pepper
3 tablespoons canola oil
3 large yellow onions, thinly sliced (about 8 cups)
1 cup cola
2 1/2 cups beef stock
4 dried whole star anise
2 sprigs fresh rosemary
1 dried bay leaf
2 tablespoons fresh flat-leaf parsley, chopped
2 tablespoons fresh thyme, chopped

Steps:

  • Check to see if the brisket fits into a Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot with a lid. If not, slice the brisket into 2 pieces against the grain to allow it to fit.
  • Put a cooling rack over a baking sheet. Put the brisket on the rack with the side lined with a thin layer of fat touching the rack. Sprinkle the salt and black pepper all over the brisket, making sure to season both sides. Let the brisket come to room temperature for about 30 minutes. (Tip: This step can be done up to 1 day in advance. Refrigerate the seasoned brisket, uncovered. By letting the brisket rest in the refrigerator, the sear will be more even and golden brown.)
  • Put a Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot over high heat. Add the oil and heat until shiny, about 30 seconds. Add the brisket fat-side up and sear until golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Turn the brisket over and sear the other side for another 3 to 4 minutes. Remove the brisket from the pot and set aside.
  • Reduce the heat to medium high and add the onions. Cook until just translucent, about 3 minutes. Pour the cola into the pot and scrape up any brown bits. Place the brisket back in the pot fat-side up, along with any juices that have collected around it. Bury the brisket under the onions. Add the beef stock, star anise, rosemary sprigs and bay leaf; the stock should not submerge the brisket, but come up about two-thirds of the way. Bring to a simmer and reduce the heat to medium low. Cover the pot and cook for 1 1/2 hours.
  • Remove the lid and flip the brisket over, making sure to nestle it back into the softened onions. Cover the pot and continue cooking until the beef is tender but not falling apart, an additional 1 1/2 hours. Remove the beef from the pot and set on a cutting board. Remove the rosemary stems, bay leaf and star anise and discard. Place the pot over high heat and cook the sauce until slightly reduced, about 10 minutes.
  • Thinly slice the brisket against the grain and spread onto a serving platter. Top the sliced brisket with the onions and spoon the sauce over the platter. Sprinkle with the parsley and thyme. Serve immediately.

EASY BAKED BEEF BRISKET



Easy Baked Beef Brisket image

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.

Categories     Main Dish Recipes     Roast Recipes

Time 12h15m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 pounds first-cut brisket (or flat-cut), trimmed of fat
4 teaspoons kosher salt
2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
½ teaspoon cayenne pepper
2 tablespoons butter
1 large yellow onion, sliced
1 teaspoon kosher salt
4 cloves garlic, sliced
1 tablespoon minced fresh rosemary
1 cup apple juice

Steps:

  • Season both sides of the brisket generously with salt, pepper, and cayenne. For best results, place brisket over an aluminum foil "rack" set over a plate and refrigerate, uncovered, 8 to 12 hours.
  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
  • Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add onion and salt. Cook and stir until translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in garlic, rosemary, and apple juice. Increase heat to high and boil until liquid is reduced by about half, about 3 minutes.
  • Transfer half of the apple-onion mixture into a baking dish. Place brisket fat-side up on top; cover with remaining apple-onion mixture. Cover baking dish tightly with foil.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour 30 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 250 degrees F (121 degrees C) and bake until fork-tender, about 2 hours 15 minutes. Check for doneness after 2 hours.
  • Transfer brisket to a plate and tent with foil.
  • Pour the onions and braising liquid into a large measuring cup or bowl. Skim some fat off the top. Puree with a stick blender to create a gravy.
  • Slice brisket across the grain and serve with the gravy.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cut of beef brisket: Look for a brisket that is well-marbled with a nice layer of fat. This will help keep the brisket moist and flavorful during cooking.
  • Season the brisket generously: Use a combination of salt, pepper, and your favorite spices to season the brisket. Be sure to rub the seasonings into the meat so that they penetrate all the way through.
  • Cook the brisket low and slow: The best way to cook a beef brisket is to cook it low and slow. This will help the brisket to become tender and flavorful. Cook the brisket at 225 degrees Fahrenheit for 8-12 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 195 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Let the brisket rest before carving: Once the brisket is cooked, let it rest for at least 30 minutes before carving. This will help the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, making it more tender and flavorful.

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 perfect beef brisket that will be enjoyed by everyone at your table.
