Do you like brisket? If you’ve never tried it, it’s a mix between a steak and a roast. It usually comes packaged in a long strip in the grocery store, similar to a London broil. Brisket must be slow-cooked, and when it’s done right, it’s tender and delicious. Here’s a recipe to get you started cooking this delicious meal.
For this recipe you’ll need:
4 pounds beef brisket
1 onion, sliced into rings or diced
¼ cup ketchup
2 TB brown sugar – light or dark works
5 cloves of garlic (or more if you’d like)
12 ounces beef broth (low sodium)
2 TB flour
½ cup beef bouillon (non-fat)
To Make this recipe:
Season meat with salt and pepper and place in a 9×13-inch pan. Cover with the onion. In a bowl, combine the ketchup, sugar, garlic, and beef broth, and pour over meat. Cover with foil and bake at 300 degrees for four hours. Remove foil and bake uncovered for 35-40 minutes. Remove meat from pan.
For gravy:
Measure one cup of liquid from the pan, adding water if needed to make the one-cup. Combine beef bouillon and flour. Shake to blend, and then add drippings. Cook and stir until thick. Cool meat and slice cross-grain. Lay in baking dish and reheat.
Tips:
Brisket can also be boiled first then grilled and rubbed with barbecue sauce.
Beer makes a popular substitute for the beef broth in this recipe. The alcohol cooks out and only the flavor remains.
