Brisket with Carrots and Onions
October 9, 2015
Brisket with Carrots and Onions is the ultimate comfort food and can be made with very little work, requiring only a very large pot with a cover and time. Brisket can be cooked many ways. You can cook it with a rub over smoky charcoal heat, on the grill, in the oven or it also works really well in a slow cooker. The fat on the brisket should not be cut off before cooking. This fat helps to keep the meat from drying out. Typically, you cook the brisket the day before, so that you can cool it and easily remove the fat, as brisket just improves with an overnight rest in the refrigerator.
- Yields: 12 Servings
Directions
1Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
2Place 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.)
3Cook for 3 to 4 hours or until very 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.
4To serve, slice the meat across the grain. Serve with the vegetables.
