Brisket With Carrots And Onions Recipes

BRISKET WITH CARROTS AND ONIONS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Place the brisket in a heavy roasting pan.
• In a small bowl, combine the salt, pepper, garlic, and oregano.
• Rub the mixture on the brisket.
• Pile the carrots, celery, onions, and bay leaves on the brisket and pour in enough tomato juice to come about 3/4 of the way up the meat and vegetables.
• Cover the top of the pan with 2 sheets of parchment paper, then with aluminum foil.
• (The tomato juice will react unpleasantly with the aluminum foil if they touch.).
• Bake for 3 1/2 hours, or until the meat is tender.
• Remove the meat from the pan and keep it warm.
• Place the pan on 2 burners and boil the vegetables and sauce over medium heat for another 30 minutes, or until the sauce is thickened.
• To serve, slice the meat across the grain.
• Serve with the vegetables.

BEEF BRISKET WITH PEARL ONIONS AND BABY CARROTS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450°F. Sprinkle brisket with salt and pepper. Heat 2 tablespoons oil in large pot over medium-high heat. Brown brisket, about 5 minutes per side. Transfer to large roasting pan. Add chopped onions, chopped carrot, celery and garlic to pot; sauté until golden, about 10 minutes. Add wine, thyme sprigs and bay leaves; boil until liquid is reduced to 5 cups, about 10 minutes. Add stock to pot; bring to boil. Pour wine mixture over brisket to fill 2/3 of pan; reserve remaining wine mixture.
• Roast brisket uncovered until very tender, turning and basting occasionally and adding more wine mixture as necessary to keep pan 2/3 full, about 3 1/2 hours.
• Transfer meat to platter. Strain pan juices into 4-cup measuring cup, pressing on solids; add enough wine mixture to measure 3 1/2 cups. Season with salt and pepper. Thinly slice meat across grain. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover meat and sauce separately; chill. Arrange meat in baking dish. Cover with foil; rewarm in 350°F oven about 40 minutes. Rewarm sauce.)
• Heat 1 tablespoon oil in large skillet over medium heat. Add baby carrots, pearl onions and 1 tablespoon thyme; sauté until golden, about 5 minutes. Cover and cook until vegetables are crisp-tender, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
• Serve meat with sauce and vegetables.

VERY BEST BRISKET

Steps:

• Layer the onions, potatoes, and carrots into the bottom of a large Dutch oven. Place the brisket on top of the vegetables.
• Mix the beef broth, onion soup mix, ketchup, and ginger ale in a bowl, and pour it over the brisket and vegetables. Bring to a boil over high heat, cover, and reduce heat to a simmer.
• Simmer the brisket until tender, about 2 1/2 hours.

CLASSIC BEEF BRISKET WITH CARAMELIZED ONIONS

Steps:

• In a small bowl, mix together salt, pepper, paprika and cayenne. Season brisket generously on all sides with salt mixture. (Use about 2 tablespoons and reserve remaining mixture.) If possible, wrap and refrigerate several hours or overnight, then bring to room temperature.
• Heat oven to 300 degrees. Place brisket in a shallow roasting pan or earthenware baking dish. Pour wine and 2 cups water over the brisket, then add cloves, garlic, bay leaves and allspice berries.
• Scatter about 1/3 of the sliced onions over brisket. Cover with foil or a tight-fitting lid. Place in oven and bake for about 3 hours or until meat is quite tender when probed with a fork. (Be careful not to overcook; you want slices, not shreds.)
• Meanwhile, place a large skillet over high heat and add olive oil. Add remaining onions and season with remaining salt mixture. As onions begin to brown, reduce heat to medium. Cook, uncovered, turning onion slices with a spatula every few minutes until caramelized and fork-tender, about 15 to 20 minutes. Add 1/2 cup water to onions and simmer a few minutes more. (For more flavor, use broth from the brisket pan instead.) Onions may be prepared in advance and reheated.
• To serve, transfer brisket to a cutting board. Trim extraneous fat from meat. With a large knife, cut meat across the grain into 1/4-inch slices. Strain braising liquid into a saucepan (discard solids left in strainer) and skim any rising fat from surface.
• Arrange sliced meat on a platter. Cover with caramelized onions and ladle some hot braising liquid over. Garnish with parsley sprigs and sprinkle with scallions, if using. Serve remaining juices separately.
