Pot Roasted Beef Brisket Recipes

ROAST BRISKET OF BEEF

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Place the onions, celery and carrots along the bottom of a large roasting pan. Set the brisket, fat-side up, on top of the vegetables. Sprinkle with 1 tablespoon each salt and pepper. Pour 3 quarts water into the pan.
• Roast for 10 minutes. Reduce the oven temperature to 300 degrees F and continue roasting until the brisket reaches an internal temperature of 155 degrees F, about 3 1/2 hours for an 8-pound brisket (20 to 25 minutes per pound).
• Let rest for 20 minutes before slicing and serving.

POT-ROASTED BRISKET

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
• Crush garlic cloves with salt and rub onto both sides of the meat. Season meat with 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and pepper.
• Spread onions, carrots, and celery over the bottom of a roasting pan just large enough to hold the meat; top with 2 bay leaves. Place meat on top of vegetables and bay leaves and top with remaining 2 bay leaves. Cover pan with parchment-paper-lined aluminum foil and transfer to oven. Bake until meat is fork tender, 3 to 4 hours.
• Remove meat from oven and let stand 30 to 45 minutes. Cut the top fatty layer (known as the second cut) from the leaner bottom layer (known as the first cut); trim off and discard the layer of fat between them. Slice both cuts across the grain.
• Tip the roasting pan slightly; skim off some of the fat and discard. Serve vegetables and their juices immediately with meat. To make a thicker sauce, puree vegetables and their juices slightly before serving.

BEER-BRAISED BRISKET POT ROAST

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 150C/130C fan/gas 2. Mix the stock cube with the tarragon and pepper in a small bowl. Rub over the brisket and season. Heat the oil in a large flameproof casserole dish or roasting tin over a medium-high heat, add the brisket and brown well on all sides.
• Stir in the ale and beef extract, then tip in the sugar and onion flakes and add enough of the beef stock to come two-thirds of the way up the sides of the brisket. Bring to the boil, cover and roast in the oven for 3 hrs, checking every 30 mins to see if the brisket is tender (but you may need to roast it for up to 5 hrs). Transfer the brisket to a board and leave to rest for 15 mins. Slice and serve with the stock spooned over and some steamed long stem broccoli on the side, if you like.

SLOW-COOKER BEEF POT ROAST

Steps:

• Heat 2 tbsp sunflower oil in a large pan. Dust 1½ kg rolled beef brisket with 2 tbsp plain flour and season well with salt and pepper.
• Put 3 chopped carrots, 3 chopped celery sticks, 2 chopped parsnips, 1 chopped onion and 80g button mushrooms in the bottom of your slow cooker and turn it to Low.
• Sear the beef all over in the hot pan then place it on top of the vegetables in the slow cooker.
• Add the 2 bay leaves, 2 crushed garlic cloves and 2 tsp English mustard then pour over 500ml red wine and 250ml beef stock. Cover with the lid and cook for 7 hours.
• Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Carefully take the beef out of the slow cooker and place it on a baking tray then roast it in the oven for 20 mins.
• While the beef is in the oven, carefully ladle the cooking liquid out of the slow cooker into a shallow pan. Boil rapidly on a high heat to reduce to a rich gravy.
• Serve the beef sliced with roast potatoes, the softened vegetables, gravy and wilted greens, if you like.
