• Place in covered roaster and cover with onion slices, then coca-cola.

• Thicken gravy with cornstarch (about 2 tbs in 1/4 cup cold water) and adjust seasonings.

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.

ATLANTA BRISKET

Steps:

• 1. Place brisket in large nonreactive roaster with snug-fitting lid (I used one measuring 15 1/2 inches long, 12 inches wide, and 4 inches deep). Pour Coca-Cola evenly over brisket, cover, and refrigerate 24 hours, turning brisket once or twice in Coca-Cola marinade.
• 2. When ready to proceed, preheat oven to 325°F. Lift brisket from roaster and pat dry. Line large fine sieve with coffee filter and set over medium-size bowl. Pour in Coca-Cola marinade and let drip through.
• 3. Rub brisket well on both sides with salt and pepper. Heat oil in very large (15-inch) heavy skillet about 1 minute over high heat until ripples appear on pan bottom. Add brisket and brown 3 to 4 minutes on each side. Return brisket to roaster, now rinsed and dried.
• 4. For Gravy: Combine 2 cups filtered Coca-Cola marinade, soup mix, tomato sauce, and ketchup and pour over brisket. Scatter sliced onions on top and drop in bay leaves. Note: If you use fresh bay leaves, crinkle them a bit as you drop them into the roaster to release their flavor.
• 5. Cover roaster, slide into lower third of oven, and braise brisket 4 hours. Check roaster at half time and if liquid seems skimpy-not likely-add a little more filtered Coca-Cola marinade, or beef broth, or water.
• 6. Remove roaster from oven and set on trivet on counter. Remove lid and cool brisket at least 30 minutes to allow juices to settle and meat to firm up. Note: Some cooks bring the brisket to room temperature before serving. Discard bay leaves and remaining Coca-Cola marinade.
• 7. To serve, lift brisket to cutting board and slice about 1/4 inch thick-across the grain and slightly on the bias. Overlap brisket slices on large platter and smother with pan gravy and onions. The best accompaniment? For me nothing beats a tart and creamy coleslaw.

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!)

COCA COLA BRISKET RECIPE - (3.9/5)

Steps:

• Oven Instructions: Preheat oven to 325°F. Pat the brisket dry with paper towels, if desired, to remove any moisture. Place it in a nonreactive roasting pan or a glass baking dish just large enough to fit the brisket. Mix Coke, chili sauce and dried onion soup mix in a bowl and pour it over the brisket. Cover the baking dish or roasting pan tightly with aluminum foil. Bake the brisket until tender, about 30 minutes per pound. Transfer brisket to a cutting board and let it rest for at least 10 minutes. Meanwhile, skim the fat from the surface of the pan juices and discard. Pour the defatted pan juices into a gravy boat or, if a thicker consistency is desired, pour the juices into a saucepan and simmer until reduced slightly. Trim any visible fat from the brisket, then thinly slice it against the grain. Pile the slices on a platter and pass the warm pan juices on the side. Slow Cooker Instructions: This four-ingredient recipe just got even simpler. Place the brisket in the slow cooker. Combine the remaining ingredients and pour over the brisket. Cook on low for 9 hours. Transfer the meat to a cutting board to rest. Skim any fat from the surface of the sauce. If a thicker sauce is desired, pour the sauce into a saucepan and simmer until reduced to the desired consistency. Slice or shred the brisket and serve with the sauce.
