Brisket

[neil3k]

Just bought a lovely piece of brisket from the supermarket.

What's the best way to cook this slowly in the oven?

what should i do with it ?

in the slow cooker for 8 hours with some veg, small amount of stock, horsradish, herbs and it'll fall apart.

Braise, i.e. fully submerged in a bottle of red wine maybe with some beef stock and cover. Don't just slow roast it imo. Then finish in a hot pan or hot oven to flavour the outside. That's what I do with brisket.

As Robbie said, braise it.

With brisket, I normally roast it for a couple of hours, leave it to cool, slice it and then braise it for about 3 hours.

Interesting...what's the reasoning there? That braising when sliced renders more of the connective tissue?

There's no scientific reasoning for it. It's the way my Mam always cooks brisket and it comes out tender and tasty so that's the way I cook it

The last one I did I cooked real low for 4 hours in the oven then 4 hours on the BBQ, real unique flavour, you have to cook it slow and low too break down the connective tissues as it really is a rough cut but once done is ug ug ug
