My husband is a chef - he said it should be roasted, uncovered, slow -325 or so - he likes the outside nicely crusty; put rubs on it if you would like - garlic, salt, pepper, paprika etc.

Yum!

Is it a plain one or corned beef?

If it is plain - this is how I cook it.

Line a pan lenghtwise and cross wise with two stips of aluminum foil - make them long so they stick out.

Lay the briskit in the foil lined pan and sprinkle one package of onion soup mix over it. Shake on some worchestishire sauce - a few shakes. Add 1/4 cup of water. Fold up the foil over the top of the brisket - then cover the pan again with foil.

Bake at 250Âº for 7 hours.

I like to let it cool, then slick across the grain in thick slices. Pour the juice over it and reheat.

This freezes well or you can make it a day or two ahead of time

DC, I do something similar with our corned beef. My husband is on a salt-restricted diet, but he & I dearly love corned beef. So when it's on sale for St. Patrick's Day, I get a hunk and soak it for two days, changing the water at least 2 times a day. Then I cook it in fresh water in my slow cooker. Once the water comes to a simmer/boil in the slow cooker, I change the water again. I know I'm losing flavor, but these are necessary steps for his health's sake. Yet in spite of all that water, the corned beef tastes pretty good -- much milder than regular but tasty nonetheless. So we can enjoy a corned beef & cabbage dinner and corned beef sandwiches for lunch the next day. And no swollen, painful feet or congested lungs from over indulging.

We just had Bulgogi last night--my recipe is very different from yours, though (it's from my BIL's Korean Stepmother). We like it with rice to which a handful of mung bean sprouts have been added, grilled onions and peppers, and I grilled up some pineapple slices. My BIL always serves ith with pickled garlic--which is apparently traditional. Truly, it would be worth serving something that coordinates well with the bulgogi. One last thing--food safety experts these days recommend against cooking marinade to make a sauce. Pitch the marinade, and mix up a fresh batch of the ingredients to cook for the sauce--don't take chances with your family's health.

this is the easiest method and it is fabulous, I make it often and there is never any left. Ravens easy brisket: 1large beef brisket (no need to trim fat it will come off easily once cooked) 1 Bottle Stubb's beef marinade (shake well) 3-4 Tbs frenches mustard 1 chopped onion - optional 1/2 cup wine (white or blush) 1/2 cup water Place brisket fat side down in a very large covered oven roasting pan after you Coat both sides of brisket with mustard. Pour in 1/2 cup wine and 1/2 cup water. Pour in 1/2or entire bottle of Stubbs over the brisket (it will be more spicy if you use it all) Put chopped onion in and spread it around. No need for added seasoning!! Place covered roaster in oven at 350 for 5to6 hrs (check for fork tender) Check it occasionally while cooking to make sure there is liquid- if needed add a little water. Ladle the juices over the meat a couple times during cooking. When done remove brisket to platter to cool. GRAVY: Pour juice liquid into a saucepan; pour off most of the melted fat. In a separate bowl or cup mix 1 1/2 Tbs of cornstarch and 1/2 cup of water mix very well. Put gravy saucepan on stove and bring to a lite boil, slowly stir in the cornstarch mixture, continue stirring and heat for about 2 mins. Serve the gravy over hot cooked rice or mashed potatoes. Slice brisket across grain. *If you want a bbq flavor cook in oven as above for 3 hrs then remove brisket and put on grill cook for final 3 hrs. Beef Marinade If you do not want a real spicy brisket just use about half of the bottle.

Brisket - "a tricky meat to cook"
Q

We do it both ways -- smoke and oven. I have my mother's 50's/60's (?) recipe which I've modified over time and I've probably cooked at least one cow's weight of brisket since I've been married. (It's our celebratory meat). And that includes 175 pounds I cooked for our DD's wedding 17 years ago. Low and slow and it turns out perfect every time. Smoked brisket -- OMG is that ever good. But now, those briskets are like $100. Way too pricey for my purse! My grandfather was a butcher (back in the days when butchering meant butchering -- his shop bought the meat "on the hoof") and his opinion of brisket was that it was not worthy of being put in hamburger!!!

Low and slow. Iowagirl's would be good.
A long time ago (look at the date! LOL) I posted about cooking a brisket for bison and this sounds pretty close to what I did..shred or sliced thin and made a BBQ sauce.

I have a wonderful brisket recipe. It's from a cookbook called Stir Ups that the Junior Welfare League of Enid, OK put out. I usually make this in my roaster oven and put it out in the garage so it doesn't invade my dreams! Everytime I make it, it gets rave reviews. (I already had it typed out in Word, thank goodness!)
BBQ Brisket

5-6 lb. Brisket (I use one with the fat trimmed off)
Seasoning Salt
Garlic Salt
Worcestershire Sauce
Pepper

Sprinkle brisket generously with seasoning salt, garlic salt, Worcestershire sauce and pepper. Bake 30 minutes at 450Â°. (I put the brisket in a disposable pan with deep sides.) Cover brisket in foil and bake 7-8 hours at 225Â°. When done, pour juice off and chill both brisket and juice. Remove solidified fat from top of juice and slice brisket thinly. (an electric knife works best)

Sauce:
1 C. Ketchup
1/3 C. Worcestershire Sauce
Â¾ C. Brown Sugar
1 Tbsp. Lemon juice

For sauce: Use 2 cups of juice (add water if needed to make 2 cups). Combine all sauce ingredients with the 2 cups of juice from the cooked brisket and heat. Pour sauce over sliced brisket and heat in medium oven till hot

All of the above!LOL
If it has a lot of fat on the top I always trim off all but about 1/2 inch.I have started buying the trimmed ones because you get more bang for the buck and there's enough fat still on it to make it tender and juicy.I season only with salt,pepper,garlic powder,and a few sprinkles of Worcestershire on top.Wrap and seal in a couple of layers of heavy duty foil and place in a baking pan.Place The pan in the center rack of a preheated 400 deg. oven and cook for 30 minutes,then reduce the heat to 250 and cook long and slow,1 hour per pound.About 30 minutes before the cooking time is complete remove the foil loosely from the top and cook another 30 minutes or so until the top is browned.Remove from the oven and pour off any juice in the pan.Let the brisket rest for an hour or so before slicing.Serve with barbecue sauce on the side.
Just a hint,if you are not familiar with liquid smoke,I would not pour a whole bottle over a brisket! That stuff is potent and it can totally ruin the taste. Ask me how I know!LOL If I use liquid smoke at all I put a couple of tablespoons in a marinade or mix with water and brush on the brisket before baking.Just a suggestion.

Thanks everyone...

We combined a little of everything...and it is slowly simmering and filling the air with it's aroma...

I've gotten into the Little Debbie Cakes...I think it is making me hungry...

I'll probably be hungry all night...

I'll let you know how it turned out.
