how do you cook a beef brisket?

Answer 1

BRISKET

Beef brisket, trimmed (3 to 4 lb.)
16 oz. jar of Zesty Italian salad dressing
16 oz. can of Coke

Marinate the brisket in a covered container in the Zesty Italian dressing and can of Coke. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 24 hours. (If brisket is not completely covered, add more dressing or Coke.)
In a covered cooking dish, put brisket and marinate sauce. Cook at 200 degrees in conventional oven for 6 to 8 hours. Will serve 4 to 6 people depending on size of beef brisket.

This is an excellent recipe and needs very little ingredients.

Soak the brisket in a brine for 24 hours.

for the brine use:
2 liters water
2 cups salt
2 cups sugar
1 cup white wine vinegar
peppercorns
bay leaf
fresh thyme
garlic cloves
coriander seeds
mustard seeds
parsley stems

after 24 hours dry it off and season with salt and pepper.
sear it on both sides in very hot oil and remove
in the same pan carmelize carrots, onion, celery
add white wine and reduce by half
add brisket back and add either chicken or veal stock half way up the sides of the brisket

Answer 3

Put Brisket in Large Pan
pour over Liquid Smoke and about 4 cups of water.
Bake in a oven @ 200' for about 4 hours or until Meat is tender

Answer 4

I don't cook good on the grill. I have found that this recipe works for me.
Rub a few drops of liquid smoke on each side of the brisket after trimming off excess fat.
Poke holes in it with cooking fork and put slivers of garlic in the holes both sides
Sprinkle with dehydrated onion both side.
Wrap in foil. Make sure it is well sealed.
Put in refrigerator over night.
Bake in foil at 250 for 4 to 6 hours
Be careful when you open the foil. Don't let the steam burn you. I mix a little corn starch in the juice and make a gravy.

Answer 5

Never cook a beef brisket in a pressure cooker....use the 6-8 hour in the oven method described above.

Answer 6

Answer 9

I've had briskett that was cooked in the ground for about a whole day and it was great. You dig a hole and put the coals from a fire in the hole, wrap the briskett in foil (very well so it doesnt get dirty or ashy) and cover it with dirt. Somehow this works, it's like a slow cooker

Answer 10

I let it marinate for 2 days. I smoke it in the pit for 12-14hrs. The last 6 hrs I wrap it in aluminum foil and put it back in the pit. I smoke it fat side up. It's soooo good.
