Dads Best Brisket Recipes

Steps:

• Center brisket on a large heavy piece of foil in a roaster; sprinkle with liquid smoke.
• Sprinkle brisket with celery salt, garlic salt, onion salt, and pepper.
• Fold sides of foil over to seal; refrigerate overnight.
• 6 1/2 hour before serving, open foil and season with salt, pepper, and Worcestershire sauce.
• Reseal and cook in a slow oven at 300 degrees for 5 hours.
• Uncover and Pour barbecue sauce over brisket.
• Cook 1 additional hour, uncovered; let sit 20 minutes before slicing.

Steps:

• For the Firehole brisket rub: Stir together the pepper, salt, seasoning salt and granulated garlic.
• For the brisket: Preheat a smoker for cooking at about 225 degrees F.
• Trim the fat on the brisket down to 1/4 inch.
• Mix pickle juice and mustard in a bowl, then rub the brisket with the mixture all over. Season brisket with enough dry rub to cover (1/2 to 1 cup). Place meat in smoker fat-side up and cook for 12 hours.
• Remove brisket from smoker and increase temperature to 300 degrees F. Wrap brisket in foil or butcher paper and place back in the smoker until internal temperature reaches 200 degrees F. Let rest for 30 minutes.

Steps:

• Rub the salt and pepper mixture into the brisket. Smoke the brisket for 8 to 10 hours. Trim the brisket then slice and it's ready to serve.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
• On a cutting board, mash the garlic and 1/2 teaspoon of the salt together with the flat-side of a knife into a paste. Add the rosemary and continue to mash until incorporated. Put the garlic-rosemary paste in a small bowl and add 2 tablespoons of olive oil; stir to combine.
• Season both sides of the brisket with a fair amount of kosher salt and ground black pepper. Place a large roasting pan or Dutch oven over medium-high flame and coat with the remaining olive oil. Put the brisket in the roasting pan and sear to form a nice brown crust on both sides. Lay the vegetables all around the brisket and pour the rosemary paste over the whole thing. Add the wine and tomatoes; toss in the parsley and bay leaves. Cover the pan tightly with aluminum foil and transfer to the oven. Bake for about 3 to 4 hours, basting every 30 minutes with the pan juices, until the beef is fork tender.
• Remove the brisket to a cutting board and let it rest for 15 minutes. Scoop the vegetables out of the roasting pan and onto a platter, cover to keep warm. Pour out some of the excess fat, and put the roasting pan with the pan juices on the stove over medium-high heat. Boil and stir for 5 minutes until the sauce is reduced by 1/2. (If you want a thicker sauce, mix 1 tablespoon of flour with 2 tablespoons of wine or water and blend into the gravy).
• Slice the brisket across the grain (the muscle lines) at a slight diagonal. Serve with potato pancakes.
• Using a box grater or food processor, coarsely grate the potatoes and onions. Put the grated potatoes and onions together in cheesecloth or a tea towel and twist it to squeeze out the excess liquid. Put the dry potatoes and onions in a bowl and season with salt and pepper. Fold in the egg whites and chives to bind the mixture together.
• Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat and coat with 1/4-inch of oil. For each pancake, take about 2 tablespoons of the potato mixture and drop into the hot oil; gently flatten with a spatula so they fry up thin and crispy. Fry for 3 to 4 minutes on each side, until golden. Remove to paper towels to drain; season with salt while the potato pancakes are still hot. Continue frying, adding more oil as needed, until all of the mixture is used up. Serve immediately with apple sauce, if desired.

• cover and bake at 325°F for 2 hours, basting occasionally. Add carrots; bake 1 hour longer or until meat is tender. Discard bay leaf. Cool for 1 hour; cover and refrigerate overnight.
• Trim visible fat from brisket and skim fat from tomato mixture. Thinly slice beef across the grain.
• In a saucepan, warm tomato mixture; transfer to a shallow roasting pan. Top with sliced beef. Cover and bake at 325°F for 30 minutes or until heated through. Serve sauce over beef.

Steps:

• Cover the porcini in 100ml boiling water and set aside. Heat 2 tbsp oil in a wide pan, add the onion and cook over a medium heat, stirring often for about 10 mins until soft. Push to one side of the pan, add the button mushrooms and thyme, fry until any water has evaporated and the mushrooms are soft and taking on some colour (about 4-6 mins). Scrape the onions and mushrooms into a bowl.
• Heat the remaining oil in the pan. Toss the beef in the mustard powder, flour and some seasoning, then fry, in batches if needed, until each piece has a dark brown crust. Drain the porcini mushrooms, but keep the soaking liquid, and roughly chop them. Return all the beef, onions and mushrooms to the pan along with the porcini liquid. Add the wine and bubble for a few mins, scraping the bottom to release any tasty bits. Add the miso, soy and stock, season and cover the pan with a lid. Simmer for 2 hrs 30 mins-3 hrs until the beef is as tender as you'd like it. Stir every 15 mins or so, adding more water if it's sticking to the bottom of the pan. Strain the stew through a sieve over a large pan or bowl and discard the thyme sprigs. Stir 100ml liquid back into the beef and transfer the rest to a jug - this will be your gravy. Cool the stew and gravy, then chill. You can do this up to three days before assembling the pie.
• Mix the ingredients for the pastry, except the egg, in a food processor with a good pinch of salt. Slowly add water, a tablespoon at a time, until the pastry starts to clump together (ours needed 5 tbsp). Tip onto your surface and knead a few times to incorporate any flaky bits. Remove a third of the pastry and shape both pieces into discs, wrap in cling film or baking parchment and chill for at least 30 mins, or up to one day.
• Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6 with a baking sheet heating up on the middle shelf. Roll out the larger piece of pastry, using a little flour if you need it, until about the thickness of a £1 coin. Lift over your rolling pin and use to line a metal or enamel cake tin or pie dish - we used a deep, loose-bottomed 20cm cake tin - leaving plenty of pastry hanging over the edges. Fill with the cooled stew. Brush around the inside edge of the pastry with egg then roll out the remaining pastry and use to cover the pie.
• Squash or crimp the edges and roll the pastry back on itself to create a seal. Press the edge lightly with a fork, if you like, brush with egg and make a generous steam hole in the middle (we used the end of a large round piping nozzle to do this). Sprinkle with flaky sea salt. Bake for 45-50 mins until the pastry is deep golden brown, then leave to cool for 10 mins while you reheat the gravy. Remove the pie from the tin and serve with gravy, mash and veg.

Steps:

• Generously salt and pepper brisket and rub it in good.
• Put the brisket in the bag and pour the whole bottle of Liquid Smoke over it and rub it in good too.
• Pour the 2 cans of consumme over the meat.
• Pour BBQ sauce over the whole mess and tie up the bag and follow bag directions.
• Bake at 250 or 300 degrees for 5 or 6 hours.
• Be sure that the fat side of the brisket is on top so it can baste itself.
