Richard Blaiss Brisket With Coriander Black Pepper And Brown Sugar Recipes

AL PASTOR-INSPIRED TACOS

Steps:

• For the basting sauce: Add the honey, butter, coriander, cumin, salt, cinnamon, pepper and saffron to a small saucepan over low heat. Let cook 5 minutes, then remove from the heat and set aside.
• For the yogurt sauce: Combine the yogurt, vinegar, mint and garlic in a small bowl. Season to taste with salt.
• For the roasted tomatoes: Preheat the broiler.
• Quarter the tomatoes, then toss with the olive oil, salt and pepper. Place on a baking sheet and broil, checking occasionally to prevent burning, about 7 minutes, then turn over the tomatoes and roast until lightly charred, another 7 to 8 minutes. Set aside.
• For the pickled onions: Add the onions, vinegar, salt, sugar and 1 cup water to a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer, stirring to dissolve the sugar, then remove from the heat and set aside.
• For the meat: Grate the onion on the largest holes of a box grater and mix into the ground meat along with the salt. Shape the meat into 6 cigar shapes on koobideh swords or flat shish kebab skewers.
• Heat a grill or grill pan over high heat. Grill the kebabs, basting with the saffron sauce occasionally, until charred on the outside and cooked through, about 5 minutes per side.
• To serve: Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F.
• Warm the tortillas in a pan in the oven for 5 minutes.
• Spread a heaping spoonful of yogurt sauce on a tortilla. Add the meat, roasted tomatoes and pickled onions. Garnish with torn herbs.

BRISKET WITH CORIANDER, BLACK PEPPER AND BROWN SUGAR

Steps:

• Rinse the brisket under cold water and pat dry. Season with the coriander, salt, pepper, paprika and cayenne.
• Heat the oil in a roasting pan until just smoking. (Make sure area is well-ventilated). Sear the brisket until browned on all sides. Remove to platter, cover, and let stand about 20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, arrange 2 long overlapping sheets of aluminum foil that are large enough to envelop the brisket on a work surface.
• Preheat the oven to 300 deg F.
• Mix the brown sugar and mustard in a small bowl to make a small paste. Rub the brisket with the paste and place on top of the foil sheets.
• Tightly wrap the brisket in the foil so that no mustard paste can escape.
• Place the brisket on a roasting rack set in a roasting pan and cook for 10 hours; when done, a paring knife should pierce the meat with ease. Let cool slightly.
• Unwrap the brisket, slice and serve with mashed potatoes.
• Leftover brisket can be wrapped tightly in plastic wrap and stored in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
• Note: I made this last weekend with beef ribs - just the rub, not the paste. I sectioned the ribs and rubbed with the spice mixture, then threw into the slow cooker for about ten hours on low. Very tender and flavorful. So, another option.
