I have a huge beef brisket but I have no idea how to cook it.

Any ideas? We usually make Beef Jerky with it but I'd like something quick and easy to do with it.

Thanks!
 
The only way I do Brisket. Is with a dry rub and in my smoker for 8 – 14 hours. MMMMMM good.:thumbsup2
 
This is a fabulous recipe:
Tear off two large pieces of aluminum foil (same size). Lay brisket fat side up and season with salt and pepper. Pour 1/3 bottle of liquid smoke over the top of the brisket. (Liquid smoke is available in grocery stores usually by the barbecues sauces) Place two additional sheets of foil over the brisket and and seal. Marinate in the refrigerator overnight. The following day take the brisket out of the foil and place in a baking dish. Cover with foil and bake for six hours at 275*. Smother with your favorite barbecue sauce and return to the oven uncovered for 30 minutes. Cool slightly and then brisket should be shredded. This makes yummy BBQ sandwiches or omit the bread and have some delicious brisket.
 

It took me a long time to remember that this recipe uses a brisket. I would always call my mother while standing in the grocery meat section to ask "What kind of meat do I use for stringy meat?" This is what we called it as kids. EASY!! I make it in a crock pot, but here's the way my mother always made it:

beef brisket
1 or 2 envelopes dry onion soup
1/4 - 1/2 cup water

Rip off a large piece of aluminum foil and put in bottom of baking pan. Put meat on top of foil. Sprinkle with onion soup, flip meat and sprinkle other side. Top with another piece of foil and seal tightly, leaving a little opening to pout in a little water. Seal packet tightly.
Cook at 375 for at least 3 hours.

YUMMY! No knife needed! It falls apart!
If you have a huge piece of meat, could you cut it into smaller pieces and freeze for future meals? Or, here's an excuse to have company over!!
 
Here's my favorite recipe.

Line baking pan with foil with enough overlap to be able to fold edges together to make a packet. Trim excessive fat from brisket & lay in pan. Mix 12 oz. coke (not diet, you need the sugar), a 12 oz. jar chili sauce & a packet of dry onion soup mix together & pour over brisket. Bake at 400 for an hour then turn down to 300 for another 3-4 hours. So tender & delicious! Sometimes I do this in a crock pot, but the brisket usually has to be cut in half & stacked. Often I make a double recipe of the sauce & put the extra in a saucepan on low & simmer uncovered so it thickens. Yummy!
 
turkey size cooking bag, 1 bottle of claude's brisket season, (this is in most grocery stores with spices or seasonings) - place brisket in bag in a large baking dish fat side up pour claude's brisket sauce over it, seal it, place in 220 degree oven for 8 - 12 ours - I usually put it in before I go to bed. Great for a saturday night into sunday - then it is perfect for sunday lunch!

You beat me to it! I love this recipe! So good!!!
 
Okay this recipe is from my Uncle Neil who is a fabulous cook! And it is sooo easy~!

Either get a brisket that is already trimmed or trim about 90% of the fat and talor off.

Next, get a large pan and spray with Pam for easy clean up.

Take one bottle of brisket marinade (or beef marinade). We use Allegro Hickory Flavored marinade. Pour over top of brisket.

Take 2 Tablespoons of minced garlic and rub all over the top of the brisket.

Then, sprinkle crushed black pepper all over the top.

Cover completely with aluminum foil and place in a 250 degree oven over night. I put mine in no later than 8 pm and take it out the next morning 12 hours later.

Let the brisket set for about an hour so that the flavor stays in the meat when you slice it. Slice just like you do a roast, against the grain. The smell will drive you wild and it tastes unbelieveable!

You can thicken some of the juice with a little cornstarch and water in a separate pot for a gravy to pour over the brisket or mash potatoes.

Chop left over brisket and place in a pot with bar-be-que sauce the next night. Heat and serve on a bun, sloppy joe style!!!!
 
So, what time is dinner? I'm going to come to everyone's house and sample their brisket. I'll bring a bottle of wine! :) I LOVE Brisket!!!!
