Cooking Beef Brisket

Slow Cooked Barbecue Beef Brisket

Ingredients

1 cup of white wine
3 cups of apple cider
1/4 up of honey
2 tablespoons of dijon mustard
1/4 cup of soy sauce
2 tablespoons of firmly packed brown sugar
1 tablespoon of minced garlic
1 tablespoon of minced fresh ginger root
1 tablespoon of whole coriander
2 sprigs of fresh thyme
1 – 2 1/2 lb. beef brisket

Preparation

Combine the wine, cider, honey, mustard, soy sauce, brown sugar, garlic, ginger root, coriander and thyme in Dutch oven or heavy roasting pan.

Add brisket, cover tightly and place in oven. Turn
oven to 350F and cook 1 hour. Remove brisket from cooking liquid, cover and set aside.

Transfer liquid to medium pan and cook over medium heat until reduced to a glaze and thick enough to coat back of spoon. Using covered grill, light about 12 charcoal briquettes and add small piece of mesquite or other wood. Be sure to place charcoal and wood to one side of grill.

Arrange brisket on grill so that it is not directly over burning wood. Paint it with some glaze. Place cover on grill and smoke brisket 1 hour, turning meat and coating with glaze every 15 minutes.

Add charcoal or wood, small piece at a time, if fire seems to get too cold.

BBQ Brisket Tips

Some recipes call for quickly searing the meat before beginning the braising process. It’s really a matter of personal preference. Ensure that the meat in the pan is placed fat-side up for cooking.

If you are on a low-fat diet, resist removing the fat until after the brisket is done cooking. The fat not only releases flavor, it also protects the brisket from drying out on top which is of utmost importance if you want your brisket to retain it’s flavor and moisture.

The texture of brisket requires slicing across the grain through the long fibers into thin slices. Slice it any other way and you may chew longer, but the flavor will still be superb.

What is a good cut for a slow cooked roast beef recipe?

I am making a peking beef roast. I do not want recipes for a roast beef I want suggestions on a cut, please use personal opinion not some article online. Thank you

Please don’t use a round for your dish unless you want a dry slab. Use a rump roast (boned and tied) or a Tip Roast. Both are wonderful in the oven. If you decide on using the round make sure you choose a USDA CHOICE grade of meat. You’ll need to start with the best source of meats. Visit a butcher shop and bypass the grocery store.

Meat Do’s and Don’ts
There is no manlier thing to get to grips with in the kitchen than a great hunk of meat. But there is a right way, a wrong way, and even a dangerous way to do it Imagine Yourself Thin, Study Says

How To Oven-Cook Beef Brisket

 

Cooking Beef Brisket

Cooking Brisket in the Oven – a Beginners Guide

Cooking brisket in the oven is a time consuming process, but also a very rewarding one. When your family and friends take their first bite of your delicious brisket, they will most definitely be asking you for the recipe. This article will make you a brisket cooking pro!

Did you know that at one time, brisket was considered a very poor quality meat? History has it, that two brothers from Germany, back in the 1950′s decided to smoke up some leftover brisket they had. They left the brisket inside their smokehouse for an entire weekend. When they returned to work they sliced up the meat and served it to their customers. The meat was so flavorful and tender that it quickly became a hit.

I remember the first time I had the pleasure of eating beef brisket. It was at this fabulous little Barbecue Restaurant in Croton-On-Hudson, NY called Memphis Maes.

New York isn’t known for its BBQ, so my wife and I were a bit skeptical. But after we took our first bite of the “Texas BBQ Beef Brisket”, we became believers! My wife then looked at me and said , “You have to make this!” Not wanting to let the lovely wife down, I took it upon myself to try and recreate the BBQ brisket at home. I don’t own a smoker, so I needed to improvise and cook the brisket in the oven.

Believe it or not, the oven makes a pretty darn good BBQ brisket. Many BBQ enthusiasts will tell you that a smoker is the only way to cook brisket, but I can tell you from experience this is simply not the case.

The secret to a good beef brisket is to cook it nice and slow at around 225 degrees for several hours. So if you are looking for a quick and easy meal tonight, cooking brisket in the oven is not the way to go.

You will have to prepare this particular recipe one day in advance and you will need to plan some extra time to cook the brisket as it takes several hours to finish cooking.

Lets Talk About Dry Rubs

There are a variety of different dry rub recipes you can use for your beef brisket. One such recipe is listed below. Don’t be shy with your dry rub. You want to really coat the brisket well. Its not called a rub for nothing, so really rub those spices into the meat with your hands. After the rub has been applied put the brisket in the fridge and let it marinade over night.

DRY RUB

- 1/4 Cup Paprika
– 1/4 Cup Light Brown Sugar
– 2 Tbs Chili Powder
– 2 Tbs Kosher Salt
– 2 Tbs Freshly Cracked Black Pepper
– 1 1/3 Tbs Granulated Garlic
– 1 1/3 Tbs Granulated Onion
– 2 Tsp Ground Cumin

THE SAUCE

We need some type of liquid to slowly braise the brisket in the oven. Braising is an excellent way to cook brisket in the oven because it keeps the brisket moist and very tender.

What I do is mix some good quality store bought barbecue sauce with a little beef broth to thin it a bit. I like to use a smoke flavored barbecue sauce. To give it a little more smoky flavor, I also add a few drops of liquid smoke. This makes a very tasty braising liquid.

LETS START COOKING ALREADY!

Before we start cooking, lets do a little preparation.

Remove the brisket from the fridge and leave it on the counter for 30 minutes or so to allow it to come to room temperature.

Get yourself a baking dish with a tight fitting lid big enough to hold your brisket.

Mix equal parts of barbecue sauce and beef broth. I like to make enough so that the brisket is at least half submerged. Pour this mixture into your baking dish.

Pre-heat your oven to 225 Degrees.

Heat up a large pan over medium heat and add enough oil to cover the pan. Add the brisket to the pan and brown on all sides until it forms a nice crust.

Place the browned brisket into the baking dish with the braising liquid. Put the lid on and place it in the pre-heated oven.

About half way through the cooking process, flip the brisket over so that the other side has time to cook in the braising liquid.

The brisket is done when it is fork tender and has an internal temperature of around 185-200 degrees F. The amount of time it takes to cook a brisket in the oven really depends on the weight of the brisket. Figure 1 1/2 to 2 hours per pound of meat.

There you have it. My recipe for cooking brisket in the oven.
