Our Favorite Brisket
This is a recipe men love. It resembles a French dip. Served cold without the sauce, it's a good party food. I use dinner rolls for the bread. They're smaller than hamburger buns and guests are more like to choose the smaller size.
List of Ingredients
- 1 5-6-pound beef brisket, well trimmed
- My Seasoned Salt (See Spices. . .)
- Additional coarse ground black pepper and cayenne pepper
- Worcestershire sauce
Instructions
- Place roast in baking dish that is fairly close to the size of the roast. Sprinkle the lean side with Worcestershire sauce, seasoned salt, black pepper and cayenne. Be generous.
- Turn and repeat for fat side.
- Cover and refrigerate overnight. Bring to room temperture. Make certain there is 1/2 inch of liquid in the baking dish. Add either more Worcestershire or plain beef broth.
- Bake uncovered at 300 degree for 3-4 hours. If meat appears to dry out and juices don't form, cover loosely for part of cooking time.
- Let stand 20 minutes before carving. Slice across the grain.
- Serve with sourdough bread (or French) and juice from the pan on the side.
Final Comments
We often buy a whole brisket so there will be leftovers.
I believe this came from a Southern Living cookbook on party food.
