Best Way to Cook Brisket

Beef brisket is one of those money saving cuts of beef that is quite delicious if it is well prepared. The best way to cook brisket is to braise it in a small amount of liquid, cooking it slowly for several hours.

Here is one of my family's favorite beef brisket recipes, it is so easy to prepare in a crock pot or slow cooker, and the results are amazing. It is good for a party or a crowd, too.

Barbecue Beef Brisket Sandwiches

Slices of beef brisket steeped in a sweet and savory sauce create a melt-in-your-mouth sandwich

Servings: 8

1 (3 pound) beef brisket, trimmed
1 1/2 teaspoons coarse salt
3/4 teaspoon pepper
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 large onion (about 1 1/2 cup), coarsely chopped
1 1/2 tablespoons minced garlic
1/2 cup dark beer (such as porter or stout)
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
2 tablespoons lemon juice
3 tablespoons honey
1/2 cup ketchup
1 teaspoon paprika
8 Kaiser or other sandwich rolls

Cook the brisket: Season the brisket with salt and pepper. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the brisket, brown on all sides and transfer to a crockpot. Add the remaining ingredients to the crockpot and stir well. Cook, covered, on LOW until the meat is very tender - 8 hours.

Remove the meat, place it on a cutting board and let it rest for 15 minutes.

Reserve the sauce. Carve brisket into thin slices and divide it among rolls topped with reserved sauce. Serve warm.
