Beef Brisket Pot Roast Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 190C/Gas 5/fan oven 170C. Wash and dry brisket and season. Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a deep casserole and brown beef all over. Remove from pan. Turn down heat, add butter and fry the onions, celery, carrots and mushroom stalks for 6-8 minutes.
• Return beef to pan and add beer, thyme, bay leaves and sugar. Add water if necessary so the liquid comes about two-thirds up the beef. Season, bring to a simmer, cover tightly, and cook in the oven for 20 minutes. Reduce heat to 160C/Gas 3/fan oven 140C and cook for 2 hours, turning twice, until tender.
• An hour before the beef is done, toss the parsnips in oil, season and roast on a baking tray above the beef for 50 mins - 1 hr until tender, turning once.
• Turn oven up to 190C/Gas 5/fan oven 170C. Lift out the beef, tent with foil and keep warm. Stir the parsnips and mushroom caps into the beef juices. Check seasoning; add water if needed. Cover and cook in the oven for 20-25 minutes until mushrooms are tender.
• To serve, use a slotted spoon to remove vegetables and arrange round the beef. Spoon off the excess fat from the juices, then whisk in the mustard and pour into a jug. Moisten the beef with a little juice and scatter with parsley or thyme.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Make a dry rub by combining chili powder, salt, garlic and onion powders, black pepper, sugar, dry mustard, and bay leaf. Season the raw brisket on both sides with the rub. Place in a roasting pan and roast, uncovered, for 1 hour.
• Add beef stock and enough water to yield about 1/2 inch of liquid in the roasting pan. Lower oven to 300 degrees F, cover pan tightly and continue cooking for 3 hours, or until fork-tender.
• Trim the fat and slice meat thinly across the grain. Top with juice from the pan.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Place the onions, celery and carrots along the bottom of a large roasting pan. Set the brisket, fat-side up, on top of the vegetables. Sprinkle with 1 tablespoon each salt and pepper. Pour 3 quarts water into the pan.
• Roast for 10 minutes. Reduce the oven temperature to 300 degrees F and continue roasting until the brisket reaches an internal temperature of 155 degrees F, about 3 1/2 hours for an 8-pound brisket (20 to 25 minutes per pound).
• Let rest for 20 minutes before slicing and serving.

Steps:

• Trim beef of any large extra fat. A little is good for flavor.
• Place the roast in the middle of a large piece of aluminum foil.
• Rub beef all over with all of the spices.
• Sprinkle liquid smoke over beef and rap tightly in foil. Make sure it's completely wrapped.
• DO NOT ADD ANY LIQUID TO THE CROCKPOT!
• Place in crock pot and cook on low setting for 8-10 hrs (10 for a larger cut of beef).
• Unwrap beef and serve with the "smoker" juices in the crock pot or with your favorite barbecue sauce.

Steps:

• Spray 6-quart slow cooker with cooking spray. Rub brisket with 1 tablespoon of the vegetable oil. Rub with salt and pepper. Heat 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Cook brisket in skillet 2 minutes on fattiest side, then turn and cook 2 to 3 minutes on other side, until browned. Transfer to slow cooker.
• Reduce heat to medium; add remaining tablespoon of vegetable oil to skillet. Add onions; cook 5 to 8 minutes, stirring frequently, until beginning to brown. Add carrots and garlic; cook 1 minute. Stir in tomatoes and broth; heat just to simmering. Pour mixture over brisket in slow cooker. Cover and cook on Low heat setting 7 to 8 hours or until brisket is very tender.
• Transfer brisket to cutting board; cool slightly, cut into slices, and serve with vegetables and cooking juices.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
• Heat a heavy Dutch oven on top of the stove over medium high heat. Add oil, and sear meat in the center of the pan for 4 minutes. Turn meat over with tongs; sear all sides for 3 to 4 minutes on each side. Remove meat from pan. Arrange onion, garlic, and 1 bay leaf in the bottom of the pan, and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Return meat to pan, place remaining bay leaf on top of meat, and cover.
• Cook in the oven for 30 minutes at 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Reduce the heat to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C), and cook for 1 1/2 hours. Remove roast to a platter to rest for 10 to 15 minutes. Slice, and top with onions and gravy.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
• Crush garlic cloves with salt and rub onto both sides of the meat. Season meat with 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and pepper.
• Spread onions, carrots, and celery over the bottom of a roasting pan just large enough to hold the meat; top with 2 bay leaves. Place meat on top of vegetables and bay leaves and top with remaining 2 bay leaves. Cover pan with parchment-paper-lined aluminum foil and transfer to oven. Bake until meat is fork tender, 3 to 4 hours.
• Remove meat from oven and let stand 30 to 45 minutes. Cut the top fatty layer (known as the second cut) from the leaner bottom layer (known as the first cut); trim off and discard the layer of fat between them. Slice both cuts across the grain.
• Tip the roasting pan slightly; skim off some of the fat and discard. Serve vegetables and their juices immediately with meat. To make a thicker sauce, puree vegetables and their juices slightly before serving.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Season brisket with salt and pepper. In a large skillet, heat the oil. Add the brisket, fat side down, and cool over moderately high heat until richly browned, about 5 minutes. Turn and brown on the other side, about 5 minutes longer. Transfer the brisket, fat side up, to a roasting pan.
• Add the garlic, onions, carrots, and celery to the skillet and cook over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 10 minutes. Add the bay leaves, rosemary, and chiles, and cook, stirring, for 2 minutes. Add the wine and boil over high heat until reduced by half, about 6 minutes. Add the tomatoes and simmer over low heat for 15 minutes. Pour the mixture over and around the brisket.
• Add chicken broth to the skillet and bring to a simmer over high heat. Pour the broth around the brisket. Cover the roasting pan with foil, transfer to the oven and braise until the brisket is very tender, about 3 hours. Transfer the brisket to a platter and cover with foil.
• Strain the contents of the roasting pan through a coarse straiiner set over a large saucepan, pushing the vegetables through as much as possible. Boil the sauce over high heat until reduced to 3 1/4 cups, about 20 minutes; season with salt and pepper.
• Carve the brisket into 1/3" slices. Pour some of the sauce over the brisket to keep it moist and serve, passing the rest of the sauce at the table.
• Best brisket: Refrigerate sliced and sauced brisket for up to two days. Cover with foil and bake in a 350 degree oven until heated through, about 30 minutes.

Steps:

• Combine 2 tablespoons flour, onion powder, garlic powder, and black pepper in a large plastic bag; place brisket into bag, seal, and shake bag to coat meat with seasoned flour.
• Heat vegetable oil in a large heavy pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Brown meat on all sides; reduce heat to low. Whisk onion soup mix in hot water in a bowl until dissolved; pour over the brisket. Pour beer over meat. Add more water as needed to bring level of liquid to halfway up side of the brisket.
• Cover and simmer until beef is tender, about 2 hours, adding more water if needed. Remove meat to a platter and cool for 15 minutes. Stir ketchup, applesauce, and Worcestershire sauce into pan juices; whisk 2 tablespoons quick-mixing flour into mixture. Simmer until gravy is thickened, about 5 minutes.
• Slice brisket very thinly against the grain and return sliced meat to pot with gravy. Stir to coat meat; simmer 1 more hour.
• Transfer meat and gravy to a casserole dish and cover; refrigerate overnight. Skim hardened fat from the meat and gravy before bringing back to a simmer over low heat to serve.

Steps:

• Brown of all sides of joint in a frying pan to seal. (this is the correct way but I often don't bother and it is still delicious)
• Place in deep roasting pot/casserole dish.
• Season well with salt and pepper and sprinkle crushed Oxo cubes over joint.
• Pour boiling water over joint so that it measures about 3/4 of an inch deep. I put the end of a dry wooden spoon into the water (like a dip-stick) to measure how much water is in pot.
• Add vegetables if required.
• Place tight lid on pot (or cover tightly with foil).
• Place in oven and cook for 30 minutes at 200 degrees celsius (9 gas).
• Turn oven down to 170 degrees (3 gas) and continue cooking for 2 1/2 hours.
• Rest for at least 20mins before carving
