Brandys Coke Brisket Recipes

CROCK POT BRISKET RECIPE WITH COLA

Steps:

• If you have a removable stove top slow cooker insert, heat the insert over medium high heat. Add 3 tablespoons vegetable oil. When oil is hot, sear brisket on both sides until browned.
• Remove to a plate and add sliced onions. Cook onions for about 3 minutes, stirring often. Add brisket back into the pot and nestle on top of onions.
• Pour the bbq sauce over the brisket. Pour in cola. Use just enough to come up halfway on the brisket.
• Slow cook 8 hours or until brisket is fork tender.
• When the meat is done, remove to a large cutting board and slice against the grain, then shred.
• Keep the shredded meat moist and flavorful by adding about a cup of the cooking liquid. This will also serve as some gravy for the mashed potatoes.
• Serve over mashed potatoes or as a sandwich on a Kaiser bun or as sliders on slider buns.

JACK AND COKE SMOKED BRISKET RECIPE - (4/5)

Steps:

• Marinade: Combine all ingredients and whisk together till fully blended. Set aside and get the brisket ready. Leave most of the fat cap intact but trim some of the side and a little of the depth off. The cut I used had about ½ inch of fat so I took very little off. Perforate the brisket on both sides even though the marinade will not penetrate the fat cap well. (Inject the marinade also, if you like at this time, but this is optional). Place the brisket in the brining bag and add the marinade, pressing out as much of the air as possible and made sure that the brisket is covered in marinade. Place the brisket in the refrigerator over night or 12 hours for best results but not less than 6 hours. About halfway through the process, turn the bag over the make sure both sides are getting marinade well. Misc Directions: After your satisfied with your marinade time remove the brisket and get the rub on it. Dark brown sugar is the base of the dry ingredients to impart that sweet flavor and to form the crust that all smoked meats have. A side note here: when you are smoking meat you are using a indirect heating method, this means that the fire/hot coals are NEVER near enough to the meat to burn it. The dark "crust" that you see is called BARK (as in tree bark not dog bark). It is sought after on certain types of BBQ. The dark brown sugar is also the medium by which you blend the other spices to aid in their holding together. Dry Rub: Combine all the ingredients in a bowl and whisk together. Rub the brisket down with canola oil to give the rub something to stick to. Since the fat cap will NOT allow the rub to penetrate just put it on the exposed meat side. Apply liberal amounts of the rub and "massage" it into the meat, then wrap the brisket in plastic wrap and put back in the refrigerator for the remainder of the time until it is time to put it on the smoker. (over night again, in our case) Cooking: The next morning... remove the brisket and take off the plastic wrap. Let the brisket 'rest' and come to room temperature. This is important. Start the smoker and bring to 225 degrees using apple wood chips, which you have soaked. Keep the temp at 225 degrees. You can alternate between apple and oak wood chips. Cook the Brisket 7 - 8 hours until it reaches an internal temp of 200 degrees with a digital meat thermometer. Remove it from the smoker and wrap it in tin foil and place in a Styrofoam cooler for about 30 min or until you are ready to eat. (you can also place in your microwave after wrapping in foil, then wrap a heavy towel around it. Do not turn the microwave on!)

SWEET AND SAVORY COCA COLA BRISKET

Steps:

• Place the brisket in a roasting pan. Put the onion, oil, wine, honey, Coca-Cola, ketchup, mustard, and paprika into the work bowl of a food processor and pulse until chopped. Pour over the brisket. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator overnight.
• Preheat oven to 325 F/165 C. Bake the brisket, covered, in the preheated oven for approximately 4 hours, or until a digital instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of the brisket reads 190 F, for well done.
• When cool, thinly slice the brisket against the grain . It is very important to slice the brisket correctly. If the meat is not sliced against the grain, it will be tough. Serving suggestion: Make gravy with drippings from the meat. Melt 4 tablespoons of parve margarine in a heavy saucepan . Slowly stir in 4 tablespoons of all-purpose flour (use potato starch instead of flour during Passover). Cook and stir for approximately 3 minutes, or until margarine just starts to darken. Slowly stir in 2 cups of drippings. Continue cooking and stirring until the gravy thickens to desired consistency. Season with salt and pepper . Pour some of the gravy over the sliced brisket, and serve the remainder alongside.
