Jewish Holiday Brisket For Sandwiches Or Sliders Recipes

JEWISH GRANDMA'S BEST BEEF BRISKET

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large deep skillet or pot over medium-high heat. Season the brisket generously with black pepper. Place in the pan and cook until the surface is a rich brown color, not burnt, but dark. Lift the roast and scatter the onions in the pan. Place the uncooked side of the roast down onto the onions. Repeat the browning process.
• Add the garlic to the pan, and fill with enough water to almost cover the roast. Bring to a simmer. Reduce heat to low and cover with a lid or tight-fitting aluminum foil. Simmer for 4 hours, turning the roast over once halfway through. The roast should be fork tender.
• Remove the brisket to a serving platter. Bring the broth in the pan to a simmer, scraping the bottom to loosen any browned bits. Cook until reduced to a thin gravy. Taste and season with salt and pepper if needed.

JEWISH BRISKET SANDWICH WITH SMOKED MOZZARELLA AND RED CABBAGE SLAW

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
• Sprinkle the brisket liberally on both sides with 1 tablespoon salt and some pepper.
• Place a large Dutch oven or heavy-based pot over medium-high heat. Add the oil. Add the brisket and sear on all sides until deep golden brown, 10 to 12 minutes. Remove the brisket and set aside. Add the garlic, celery, carrots and onions and cook until browned, about 5 minutes. Deglaze the pot with the wine and let simmer, about 1 minute. Then, use a wooden spoon to scrape the bottom of the pot. Then add the stock, rosemary, bay leaves and thyme. Add the brisket back to the pot fat-side up, cover and roast in the oven until the brisket is fork tender, about 3 hours.
• Transfer the brisket to a cutting board and let it rest, about 15 minutes. Strain out the vegetables and skim off some of the excess fat and reserve the jus. Slice the brisket thinly across the grain.
• Whisk the mayonnaise and mustard until well blended in a small bowl. Smear the top of the rolls with the mayonnaise mixture liberally. Place the mozzarella on the bottom of the rolls, pile high with the brisket and ladle the jus over top. Top with the Red Cabbage Slaw.
• Whisk the lemon juice, vinegar and sugar in a medium bowl. While whisking, slowly add the oil until smooth. Add the cherry peppers, shallots and cabbage. Taste and season with salt and pepper. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and set aside in the refrigerator until you are ready to serve.

JEWISH STYLE SWEET AND SOUR BRISKET

Steps:

• Heat brisket in a large skillet or dutch oven over medium-high heat. Cook until browned on all sides. Stir in water, ketchup, vinegar, onions, garlic, brown sugar, and salt. Bring to a boil, then cover and reduce heat to medium-low. Continue simmering until tender, turning brisket occasionally, 2 hours and 30 minutes to 3 hours and 30 minutes.
• Remove brisket and allow to cool before slicing the meat against the grain. Place brisket slices in a 9x13 inch baking pan or large platter and pour gravy on top. Cover and refrigerate overnight. Remove any excess fat and reheat before serving.
