The Ultimate Gourmet Beef Brisket Recipes

THE ULTIMATE BRAISED BRISKET

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
• Drizzle brisket liberally with olive oil then season the meat on both sides with salt and pepper.
• Place a large Dutch oven or heavy-based pot over medium-high heat and add a 3-count of olive oil. Place the brisket in the pot and sear on both sides to form a nice brown crust. Remove from pot and set aside before adding carrots, onion and celery. Brown vegetables, then add the garlic, tomatoes, red wine, bay leaf, thyme, rosemary, and parsley. Add the brisket back to the pot, cover and roast in the oven for 3 hours until the brisket is fork tender.
• Remove the brisket to a cutting board and let it rest for 15 minutes. Strain out the vegetables and pour off some of the excess fat, then pour over the brisket.

THE ULTIMATE GOURMET BEEF BRISKET

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 250°F.
• Rub beef with Montreal steak spice.
• Use spoon or spatula to cover beef with a thin layer of Demi-glace.
• Place brisket FAT side UP and cover with slices of Truffle.
• Rap entire brisket in foil, two or even three times NO HOLES!
• Place brisket into a roasting pan of decent enough height to contain juices.
• Be sure the fat and Truffles are facing up in the pan.
• Cook in roasting pan in 250F oven for 10 hours. Lots of time to prep the BBQ for Hickory smoke.
• After 10 hours open the foil on the top (end to end) and tilt the brisket to get most of the juices out of the foil and into the roasting pan.RESERVE juices. Keep brisket in foil and transfer to BBQ. Use a tray to keep the brisket from falling apart or sticking. Do whatever you do to provide meat with smoke (BBQ set low with a smoker -- or an actual smoker, either is good). The key is low heat! Keep the meat covered but slightly open to promote smoke flavor. You should be able to "forget" about the meat for another 2 hours on the BBQ. If you need to tend the meat on the BBQ then its probably too hot.
• Combine 2 cups of BBQ sauce with the juices from the roasting pan (should be almost 2 cups of juice) and cook over low/med heat to simmer. Cook for 15 minutes at a good simmer -- skim as much fat as you can and keep sauce warm.
• Let Brisket sit for 20 minutes before slicing. Open foil and LIGHTLY salt the brisket. Remove as many truffle slices as you can and RESERVE. Slice ACROSS the grain of the brisket then "pull" apart meat with fingers. You can slice it all and mix in the sauce to one big bowl to combine and serve a large party easily OR slice what you need and put sauce on individual buns -- saving the rest for later use.
• Either way put around 200 grams of beef on a bun bottom and cover/smother with sauce. Add a bit of truffle and the bun top and you're ready to go. Actually, open-faced is more attractive and can be served on more occasions. Plus it shows the truffles. As a sandwich serve with corn on the cob, Potato salad or maybe "mashed" potato and a Caesar? Open-faced serve with you're favorite fancy dinner veg -- could be anything.

THE ULTIMATE BEEF STEW

Steps:

• Preheat a large heavy-bottomed saucepan or Dutch oven over medium-high heat with the oil and butter.
• While the pan is heating, arrange the flour on a large dish. Season the cubed beef with some salt and freshly ground black pepper and then toss in the flour to coat. Shake off the excess flour and add the beef chunks in a single layer to the hot pan, being careful not to over crowd the pan, you might have to work in batches. Thoroughly brown all of the cubes on all sides. Once all the meat has been browned remove it to a plate and reserve.
• Add the wine to the pan and bring up to a simmer while you scrape the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon being sure to loosen up all those tasty bits. Once the wine has gotten hot add the browned meat, thyme, smashed garlic, orange zest strip, ground cloves, freshly ground black pepper and salt, to taste, bay leaves and beef stock. Bring the mixture up to a boil and then reduce the heat to a simmer and cook uncovered until the liquids start to thicken, about 15 to 20 minutes. Cover and cook on low heat for 2 1/2 hours.
• After 2 hours add halved potatoes, sliced carrots, pearl onions and mushrooms, along with a pinch of sugar to balance out the acid from the red wine. Turn the heat up slightly and simmer, uncovered, for 30 minutes more, until the vegetables and meat are tender. Add the frozen peas during the last minute of cooking. Season with salt and pepper and remove the thyme sprigs.
• To serve, place the stew in a soup bowl, garnish with parsley, drizzle with olive oil and add a dollop of Horseradish Sour Cream. Right before serving add a slice of Toasted Peasant Bread, half way submerged in the stew.
• Combine sour cream, prepared horseradish and a drizzle of olive oil in a small bowl and mix until thoroughly combined. Season with salt and pepper. Add a dollop of the mixture on top of the stew and garnish with chopped chives.
• Preheat the oven to 500 degrees F.
• Put a sheet pan in the oven so that it gets good and hot.
• Place the bread slices on the hot sheet pan. Drizzle the bread with the extra-virgin olive oil bake for 5 minutes, until the bread is nicely toasted. Rub the bread slices with the garlic cloves, and discard garlic. Sprinkle with parsley and serve.

BRAISED BEEF BRISKET

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F with rack in lower third.
• Heat oil in a wide 5-to 6-quart heavy pot over medium-high heat until it shimmers. Season brisket with 1 tsp each of salt and pepper, then brown brisket, turning once, about 8 minutes total. Transfer to a plate.
• Reduce heat to medium. Add onions to pot and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden-brown, 12 to 15 minutes. Add carrots, celery, and garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden, 10 to 12 minutes. Add vinegar, stirring and scraping up brown bits. Add stock and tomatoes and bring to a simmer. Return brisket to pot, nestling it in braising liquid (liquid will not cover meat). Cover with a tight-fitting lid and braise in oven until fork-tender, 3 to 3 1/2 hours.
