SLOW ROASTED BEEF BRISKET

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 300 degrees F. Season the brisket with salt and pepper.
• Add 1/2 tablespoon oil to a cast iron skillet.Over high heat sear the brisket on both sides. This takes about 2 minutes on each side. Take out of the pan and set aside.
• Add 1/2 tablespoon oil to the same cast iron pan. Cook carrots, celery and onion for about 3-4 minutes until slightly tender.Add garlic and cook for one minute.
• Add beef stock, red wine, and Worcestershire sauce. Bring to a simmer. Take off the heat and add in the bay leaves and season with pepper. Add the brisket back to the pan.
• Place in the oven and cover. Cook until tender 3-4 hours. Baste every 30 minutes to an hour. If you run out of liquid add a bit more beef stock. The brisket should be easy to cut and fall apart when you pull at it with a fork.
• Take out of the oven and let rest for at least 30 minutes. Cut or shred and serve immediately.
• Serve with some of the pan drippings if desired!

LOW AND SLOW TEXAS OVEN BRISKET

Steps:

• HEAT the oven to 250°F.
• SCATTER the onion and garlic in the middle of a sheet of heavy-duty aluminum foil large enough to generously wrap around the meat. Lay the brisket on top and rub all sides with the dry rub. Pour the bottled smoke and Worcestershire over the meat.
• SEAL the foil around the meat. Carefully place the foil pack in a large roasting pan. Roast the brisket for 7 to 9 hours, until the internal temperature is at least 190°F and the meat is pull-apart tender.
• REMOVE the brisket from the oven. Open the foil and allow the juices to collect in the pan. Move the brisket to a cutting board and thinly slice it against the grain. Serve with the warm meat juices.

• Bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour 30 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 250 degrees F (121 degrees C) and bake until fork-tender, about 2 hours 15 minutes. Check for doneness after 2 hours.

SHERRI'S OVEN BRISKET

Steps:

• Mix all ingredients in a small bowl (except brisket).
• Line a baking pan with enough foil to seal over the meat.
• Brush half of mixture on bottom of foil. Then, place brisket in the pan, fatty side up. Brush the remaining mixture on top of brisket. Cover and seal well.
• Marinate overnight in refrigerator.
• Take out of fridge about 1/2 hour before cooking.
• Bake at 300F for 3-1/2 hours or until tender.
• Take from oven and allow to rest 15 minutes before cutting.
• Scrape marinade off of meat and slice across the grain.
• Note 1: This recipe is good for 4-6 lbs. of brisket. If you are cooking a larger size, adjust amount of marinade accordingly, marinate longer-at least 24 hours, and adjust cooking time. Allow approximately 1/2 hour cooking per 1 lb. at 300°F.
• Note 2: The pan drippings make a wonderful sauce but you will need to skim the fat and/or strain with cheesecloth. Add beef broth and thicken with cornstarch, if needed. Or, just use your favorite barbecue sauce.
