Manas Brisket Recipes

Steps:

• Season brisket all over with ground pepper and 1/4 cup Diamond Crystal or 2 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons Morton salt, rubbing into the grain. Wrap tightly in plastic and chill at least 3 hours and up to 3 days.
• Place a rack in lower third of oven; preheat to 275°F. Heat schmaltz in a large roasting pan set over 2 burners on high. Unwrap brisket; cook, reducing heat if needed, until browned, 7-10 minutes per side. Transfer to a baking sheet.
• Reduce heat to medium-high. Add onions, carrots, and celery to pan; season with salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until browned and just softened, 15-18 minutes. Add wine, bring to a boil, and cook until evaporated, 8-10 minutes. Add garlic, thyme, bay leaves, peppercorns, and broth; bring to a boil. Nestle brisket into aromatics and cover tightly with foil; braise in oven until meat is very tender but still holds its shape, 2-3 hours. Let cool, then chill at least 8 hours and up to 2 days.
• Preheat oven to 250°F. Remove solidified fat from surface of braising liquid; discard. Transfer brisket to a platter. Strain braising liquid into a large measuring glass; discard solids. Return liquid to pan and cook over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until reduced by half, velvety and intensely flavored, but not overly salty, about 30 minutes.
• Return brisket to pan, cover with foil, and heat in oven until warmed through, 60-90 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board and slice against the grain. Arrange on platter and pour braising liquid over.

Steps:

• mix soup mix, chili sauce and cranberry sauce in a bowl, cover top of brisket with sauce, cover and roast at 350 until tender. 1 hour before you judge the brisket will be done add carrots, new potatoes, turnips or veg. or choice to juice and cook until done.

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 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.

Steps:

• Mix all ingredients.
• Marinate brisket 8-24 hours( I like to use an oven roasting bag).

• Allow the brisket to rest before slicing thinly across the grain.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

Steps:

• 1-Place the brisket in a sealed plastic bag with 2 cups of the wine, Worcestershire sauce, 1 teaspoon of the garlic, 1teaspoon of the white pepper, paprika and bay leaf. Coat all the sides and allow to steep overnight in the refrigerator.

Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons oil in the pan and brown the seasoned meat over high heat unit golden all over. Add the remaining 1-2 cups wine, beer, mushroom soup, ketchup, broth, remaining teaspoon garlic and reserved marinade and cooked vegetables.
