Grandmas Brisket Recipe 43

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Place the chopped vegetables on the bottom of a 8 1/2 x 11 casserole dish. Add the garlic slices. Trim the fat off the brisket, and sprinkle the onion soup evenly over both sides. Pour one can of tomato sauce over the vegetables, with 1/4 cup of the stock. Place the brisket on top of the vegetables, and pour the second can of tomato sauce and 1/4 cup of broth over the top. Cover the dish tightly with foil. Bake for 1 hour, then baste using the sauce. Bake for another hour, baste again, then add the tomato paste. Bake for another hour, remove the foil, and add the dill, and baste again. Bake until the sauce is reduced, and the brisket is very tender when inserted a fork. At this point you need to decide if the sauce needs to be reduced further - if so, remove the brisket and boil sauce on the stove until it is the desired thickness. I prefer it to be very thick and rich. Let the brisket rest for about 10 minutes. Remove the brisket and slide it thinly against the grain. Place the sliced brisket in another casserole dish, and pour the sauce and vegetables on top - make sure to get the sauce in between each one of the slices. Let the brisket cool, then cover with foil, and put it into the refrigerator. Before serving it, bring it to room temperature, then reheat in a 325 degree oven until all heated through.

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large deep skillet or pot over medium-high heat. Season the brisket generously with black pepper. Place in the pan and cook until the surface is a rich brown color, not burnt, but dark. Lift the roast and scatter the onions in the pan. Place the uncooked side of the roast down onto the onions. Repeat the browning process.
• Add the garlic to the pan, and fill with enough water to almost cover the roast. Bring to a simmer. Reduce heat to low and cover with a lid or tight-fitting aluminum foil. Simmer for 4 hours, turning the roast over once halfway through. The roast should be fork tender.
• Remove the brisket to a serving platter. Bring the broth in the pan to a simmer, scraping the bottom to loosen any browned bits. Cook until reduced to a thin gravy. Taste and season with salt and pepper if needed.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Place the brisket in a roasting pan fat side up. In a medium bowl, stir together the ketchup, soup mix and ginger ale; pour over the brisket. Arrange carrots and onion around the edge of the roast if using. Cover the roast with a lid or aluminum foil.
• Bake for 2 hours in the preheated oven. Remove the cover, and cook for 1 more hour. Let stand for a few minutes before slicing and serving.

Steps:

• Put the oil, coke, wine, honey, ketchup, mustard, onion and paprika in a food processor or blender and "chop" mixture.
• Pour over the brisket.
• Marinate overnight if you have time.
• Cook in a roasting pan with the liquid, at 350 degrees F., loosely covered, until fork tender (approximately 4 hours).
• When brisket is cool, slice meat against the grain, and return to the pan with the gravy.
• Reheat when ready to serve.
• To make the gravy thicker, you can pour the pan juices into a saucepan.
• Add 1 tablespoons flour and let cook until half the liquid is reduced.
• Pour over sliced meat and serve.

Steps:

• Rub meat all over with liquid smoke and spices.
• Refridgerate overnight in a 13 x 9 inch foil covered pan.
• To roast, sprinkle with pepper and worcestershire sauce.
• Cook at 275° for 5 hours (still covered with foil).
• If desired, cover with BBQ sauce and bake uncovered another hour at 275°.
• Make sure when you slice, you cut across the grain!
• Nummy!
