Beef Brisket Pot Roast Recipes

POT-ROASTED BEEF BRISKET

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.

BEEF BRISKET POT ROAST

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.

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.
