Grandmas Brisket Roast Recipes

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:

• 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:

• In a bowl, mix the brown sugar, salt, garlic powder, cayenne, paprika, black pepper, cinnamon, cocoa, coriander and white pepper.
• Rub the mixture all over the brisket, set it in a baking dish and cover with foil; refrigerate overnight.
• Preheat the oven to 350°F
• In a large enameled cast-iron casserole, heat the oil.
• Add the brisket, fat side down, and brown well over moderately high heat, 6 minutes per side & transfer to a plate.
• Reduce the heat to moderate and add the onions.
• Stir well, cover and cook, stirring, until softened, about 15 minutes.
• Add the carrots, cover and cook, stirring, until the carrots begin to soften, 5 minutes.
• Transfer to a bowl.
• Add the Coca-Cola, tomatoes and ketchup to the pot and stir over moderate heat.
• Add the brisket and any juices and spread the onions and carrots around the meat.
• If necessary, add enough water to half-submerge the brisket in liquid.
• Cover tightly and braise in the oven for 2 1/2 hours.
• Transfer the brisket to a cutting board, cover with foil and let stand for 30 minutes.
• Raise the oven temperature to 425°F
• Slice the meat across the grain 1/4 inch thick, return to the casserole and spoon the sauce over the meat.
• Return the pot to the oven and cook uncovered for 1 hour, or until the meat is fork-tender.
• Check every 20 minutes; if necessary, add water so the meat is half submerged.
• Remove from the oven and let stand for 15 minutes.
• Transfer the meat to a platter, spoon the onions, carrots and sauce over and serve with potato kugel with fried shallots or crispy potato latkes and caramelized broccoli with garlic.

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!
