BRAISED BEEF BRISKET WITH VEGETABLES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 300 degrees Fahrenheit and pat dry the brisket with paper towels.
• In a small bowl, mix the salt, black pepper, oregano, thyme and paprika. Rub the brisket with the spice mix.
• Heat the oil over medium high heat in a heavy flameproof roasting pan or in an oven-safe Dutch oven just large enough to fit the brisket and vegetables snugly.
• Add the brisket to the pan and sear the meat on both sides until a nice golden crust appears on the surface, about 10-12 minutes. Transfer the meat to a platter.
• Add the onions to the pot and cook stirring frequently for about 8 minutes or until the onions soften. Add the carrots and celery and cook, stirring often for about 2 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for about a minute or until fragrant.
• Add the beer and scrape the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon to release all the brown bits stuck at the bottom. Stir in the crushed tomatoes, broth and bay leaves. Mix to combine. Place the brisket fatty side up in the pan along with any accumulated juices from the platter. Cover the pan tightly with aluminum foil (preferably heavy duty) or a lid.
• Transfer to the oven and bake for 3 1/2 to 4 hours or until the meat is tender.
• Transfer the brisket to a cutting board and let it rest for about 15 minutes. Scoop the vegetables out of the pan and transfer to a plate. Keep warm.
• Skim off some of the excess fat from the sauce and remove the bay leaves. Slice the meat thinly across the grain (1/8 - 1/4-inch-thick slices) at a slight diagonal. Return the slices to the pot overlapping them at an angle.
• To serve, place the vegetables and sauce on a platter and top with the brisket. garnish with parsley (optional)

BRAISED BRISKET WITH ROOT VEGETABLES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325ºF. Pat the brisket dry and sprinkle with 2 teaspoons salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Heat the oil in a large stovetop-safe roasting pan over medium heat. Add the brisket and cook, turning with tongs, until browned on all sides, about 12 minutes. Transfer the brisket to a plate and set aside.
• Add the onions, garlic and thyme to the pan. Cook, stirring, until the onions are soft and translucent, about 7 minutes. Add the wine and 1/2 cup water, scraping up the browned bits from the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon. Add the tomatoes with the juices from the can, 1/2 teaspoon salt and pepper to taste. Return the beef to the pan along with any accumulated juices; increase the heat to medium-high and bring to a simmer.
• Remove the roasting pan from the heat and add the potatoes, carrots and parsnips around the sides of the brisket. Tightly cover the roasting pan with aluminum foil and roast until the brisket is very tender and a fork will easily pierce it, 3 1/2 to 4 hours.
• Transfer the brisket to a cutting board and the vegetables to a large serving platter. Cover and keep warm. Skim the fat from the top of the juices in the roasting pan. Place the roasting pan over medium heat on the stovetop and bring to a simmer. Cook until the sauce has reduced by more than half and is similar to a thick gravy, 15 to 20 minutes. Slice the brisket against the grain and transfer to the platter with the vegetables. Season the sauce with salt and pepper and spoon a bit over the slices. Serve the remaining sauce on the side.

BEER-BRAISED BRISKET WITH ROOT VEGETABLES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F. In a kettle cook the bacon over moderate heat, stirring, until it is crisp, transfer it to paper towels to drain, and pour off all but 2 tablespoons of the fat. Heat the fat remaining in the kettle over moderately high heat until it is hot but not smoking, in it brown the brisket, patted dry and seasoned with salt and pepper, and transfer it to a platter. Add the onions to the kettle, sauté them until they are golden, and add the bacon, the brisket, and the beer. Bring the beer to a boil and braise the brisket, covered, in the oven for 2 hours. Stir in the rutabaga, the carrots, and the potatoes and braise the mixture for 45 minutes, or until vegetables are tender.
• Transfer the brisket and the vegetables with a slotted spoon to a plate and keep them warm, covered. Bring the braising liquid to a boil, boil it until it is reduced to about 3 cups, and bit by bit whisk in the beurre manié, whisking well after each addition. Simmer the sauce for 3 minutes and season it with salt and pepper. Slice the brisket and arrange it and the vegetables with the noodles on a platter. Spoon some of the sauce over the brisket and the vegetables, sprinkle the dish of parsley, and serve the remaining sauce separately.

BRAISED BEEF BRISKET WITH BELUGA LENTILS, HORSERADISH CREAM, AND SALSA VERDE

Steps:

• Place the brisket in a large shallow dish, and rub the thyme, bay leaves, garlic, chiles, and cracked black pepper onto both sides of it, coating the meat well. Cover, and refrigerate overnight.
• Take the brisket out of the refrigerator 1 hour before cooking to bring it to room temperature. After 30 minutes, season the meat with 2 tablespoons salt.
• Preheat the oven to 325°F.
• Heat a large heavy-bottomed sauté pan over high heat for 2 minutes. Add 3 tablespoons olive oil and wait 1 minute. Place the brisket in the pan (reserving the garlic and chile). Sear the meat on both sides, about 8 minutes per side, until it's deep golden brown. You will need to sear a portion of the meat at a time, because the entire brisket probably won't fit in your pan. To do this, leave one end of the brisket hanging off the edge of the pan, and then move that end into the pan when the other part is well seared. Once both sides are well browned, transfer the brisket to a roasting pan or Dutch oven that's big enough to accommodate the entire piece of meat.
• Cut the onions in half through the root end and peel them. Cut them into 1-inch-thick wedges, leaving the root end intact. Cut the carrots and celery into thirds. Return the original brisket pan to the stove over medium-high heat. Add the vegetables to the pan, and cook 8 to 10 minutes, until they're caramelized. Stir often with a wooden spoon, scraping up all the crusty bits. Add the reserved garlic and chiles and cook a few more minutes.
• Turn off the heat (so that the liquids won't evaporate immediately), and add the balsamic vinegar, then the beer. Turn the heat back up to medium-high and reduce the beer by a quarter. Add the beef stock and bring the stock to a boil over high heat. Use a slotted spoon to scoop out most of the vegetables and place them under and around the brisket. Pour the hot stock over the meat. It should come just to the top of the brisket. Add more stock if necessary. Cover the pan tightly with aluminum foil and a tight-fitting lid if you have one. Braise in the oven 5 to 6 hours.
• To check for doneness, carefully remove the lid and foil, watching out for the hot steam. Test the meat by inserting a fork into it; if the fork slides in easily, then the brisket is done.
• Let the brisket cool in its juices for 30 minutes. Carefully transfer it to a baking sheet, and chill completely.
• Strain the braising juices into a saucepan, pressing down on the vegetables with a ladle to extract all the liquid. Skim the fat from the braising juices and chill. (Or, slice the warm brisket if you want to serve right away.)
• When you are ready to serve, preheat the oven to 400°F. Cut the cold brisket against the grain into 1/4-inch-thick slices. Lay the slices in two large roasting pans (or equivalent). Heat the braising juices and pour some over the meat, just to cover. Cook about 20 minutes until the meat is hot and caramelized and crispy on top.
• Spoon the hot beluga lentils onto a large warm platter, and arrange the brisket on top. Spoon some of the braising juices over the meat, and drizzle some of the salsa verde on top. Serve the remaining salsa verde, the sautéed rapini, horseradish cream, and any extra braising juices on the side.
• Rinse the lentils, and pick through them to remove any small stones.
• Heat a medium saucepan over medium heat for 2 minutes. Swirl in 2 tablespoons olive oil and wait a minute. Add the onion, thyme, chile, 1 teaspoon salt, and a pinch of pepper. Cook the onion, stirring often, until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.
• Add the lentils and 1 teaspoon salt. Cook about 2 minutes, stirring to coat the lentils in the oil and vegetables. Reduce the heat to low, and add the wine. Quickly add 6 cups water, and bring to a boil over high heat. Turn down the heat, and simmer 25 to 30 minutes, until the lentils are tender.
• Strain the lentils over a bowl. Toss them with the remaining 6 tablespoons olive oil, the basil sprigs, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/3 cup of the cooking liquid. (Add more of the liquid if the lentils seem dry.) Taste for seasoning.
• Bring a large pot of heavily salted water to a boil.
• Blanch the rapini a couple of minutes in the rapidly boiling water, until just tender and al dente. Drain, and cool on a platter or baking sheet.
• Heat a large sauté pan over high heat for 2 minutes. Pour in 1/4 cup olive oil and add the garlic, shallots, thyme, and chile. Cook a few minutes, until the shallots are translucent. Add the rapini and 1 teaspoon salt. Stir well, coating the rapini with the other ingredients and bathing it in the oil. Drizzle the remaining 1/4 cup oil over the rapini, and sauté 2 minutes, tossing often. Sprinkle another teaspoon salt and a pinch of black pepper over the rapini, toss, and taste for seasoning.
• I find that the easiest (and most delicious) way to prepare brisket is to braise it a day or two ahead. Then slice it when it's cold and reheat it in its juices. The increased surface area of exposed meat means more chance for crispy caramelization! If you want to skip this step, you can slice the warm brisket after it has rested for about 15 minutes.
