Provided by Tyler Florence

Categories     main-dish

Time 4h35m

Yield 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 22

4 large garlic cloves, smashed
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more for seasoning
4 sprigs fresh rosemary, needles striped from the stem and chopped
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 (4 pound) beef brisket, first-cut
Coarsely ground black pepper
4 large carrots, cut in 3-inch chunks
3 celery stalks, cut in 3-inch chunks
4 large red onions, halved
2 cups dry red wine
1 (16-ounce) can whole tomatoes, hand-crushed
1 handful fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves
3 bay leaves
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour (optional)
Potato Pancakes, recipe follows
4 medium russet potatoes, peeled
2 medium onions
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 egg whites, lightly beaten
1/4 cup finely chopped chives
Vegetable oil, for frying
Serving suggestion: applesauce

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
  • On a cutting board, mash the garlic and 1/2 teaspoon of the salt together with the flat-side of a knife into a paste. Add the rosemary and continue to mash until incorporated. Put the garlic-rosemary paste in a small bowl and add 2 tablespoons of olive oil; stir to combine.
  • Season both sides of the brisket with a fair amount of kosher salt and ground black pepper. Place a large roasting pan or Dutch oven over medium-high flame and coat with the remaining olive oil. Put the brisket in the roasting pan and sear to form a nice brown crust on both sides. Lay the vegetables all around the brisket and pour the rosemary paste over the whole thing. Add the wine and tomatoes; toss in the parsley and bay leaves. Cover the pan tightly with aluminum foil and transfer to the oven. Bake for about 3 to 4 hours, basting every 30 minutes with the pan juices, until the beef is fork tender.
  • Remove the brisket to a cutting board and let it rest for 15 minutes. Scoop the vegetables out of the roasting pan and onto a platter, cover to keep warm. Pour out some of the excess fat, and put the roasting pan with the pan juices on the stove over medium-high heat. Boil and stir for 5 minutes until the sauce is reduced by 1/2. (If you want a thicker sauce, mix 1 tablespoon of flour with 2 tablespoons of wine or water and blend into the gravy).
  • Slice the brisket across the grain (the muscle lines) at a slight diagonal. Serve with potato pancakes.
  • Using a box grater or food processor, coarsely grate the potatoes and onions. Put the grated potatoes and onions together in cheesecloth or a tea towel and twist it to squeeze out the excess liquid. Put the dry potatoes and onions in a bowl and season with salt and pepper. Fold in the egg whites and chives to bind the mixture together.
  • Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat and coat with 1/4-inch of oil. For each pancake, take about 2 tablespoons of the potato mixture and drop into the hot oil; gently flatten with a spatula so they fry up thin and crispy. Fry for 3 to 4 minutes on each side, until golden. Remove to paper towels to drain; season with salt while the potato pancakes are still hot. Continue frying, adding more oil as needed, until all of the mixture is used up. Serve immediately with apple sauce, if desired.

Time 7h10m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 4

One 5- to 8-pound beef brisket, trimmed of all fat (the butcher can do this for you!)
One 24-ounce bottle ketchup or chilli sauce
1 package dry onion soup mix
Several dashes hot sauce

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 275 degrees F.
  • Place the brisket in an oven-safe pan. Combine the ketchup and soup mix in a bowl, and then stir it around to mix. Pour in 1 cup water and stir to combine. (You can add more water if needed!)
  • Pour the sauce all over the brisket, and then flip the brisket over to coat the other side. Now just cover the pan with foil and roast in the oven for 6 to 7 hours.
  • Remove the pan from the oven and test the brisket to make sure it's fork-tender. The brisket should fall apart if you look at it! Slice the brisket into thin strips, then return the beef to the sauce and keep it warm until you're ready to serve.

This brisket looked so moist and tender and I'm dying to make it. I just haven't had the guts to shovel out the money for beef brisket. Please tell me if it's worth it.

TANGY BEEF BRISKET



Tangy Beef Brisket image

This sauce is great over venison, barbequed hamburgers and hot dogs. Cooked in the oven the beef brisket becomes juicy and tender. The secret's in the sauce. The sweetness of brown sugar and bite of horseradish enhance the flavour of the beef. This is great for birthdays, holidays, potlucks, dinner parties and camping trips. Make it ahead of time and freeze it. All you have to do is reheat for a main course that looks as good as it tastes.

Tips:

  • Use a good quality beef brisket. Look for a brisket that is well-marbled with fat, as this will help to keep the meat moist and flavorful during cooking.
  • Trim the brisket of excess fat. This will help to reduce the amount of grease in the finished dish.
  • Season the brisket generously with salt and pepper. You can also add other spices and herbs, such as garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, or chili powder.
  • Sear the brisket in a hot skillet before braising it. This will help to develop a nice crust on the meat and lock in the flavor.
  • Braise the brisket in a flavorful liquid, such as beef broth, red wine, or tomato sauce. Add vegetables, such as onions, carrots, and celery, to the braising liquid for added flavor.
  • Cook the brisket until it is fall-apart tender. This will usually take at least 3 hours, but may take longer depending on the size and toughness of the brisket.
  • Let the brisket rest for at least 30 minutes before slicing and serving. This will help the meat to retain its juices and flavor.

Conclusion:

Tangy and tender beef brisket is a classic comfort food dish that is perfect for a special occasion or a casual weeknight meal. With its rich, flavorful sauce and fall-apart tender meat, this dish is sure to please everyone at the table.
