Classic Brisket
Classic Brisket is a staple of the Jewish Holiday table. It's pretty simple to make!
Equipment
- 1 Roasting Pan
Ingredients
- A whole brisket expect to pay around $43-$55 for this - it's around $7.99 a pound unless you can find it on sale
- Yellow Potatoes
- Green Beans fresh
- Red Pepper 1 or 2
- Mushrooms optional
- Garlic fresh cloves are better, but crushed or powder is fine
- Carrots
- Celery
- Onions
- Onion Soup Mix I like this one or this one
Instructions
- Heat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Cut up the veggies.
- Place the brisket and vegetables in a roasting pan. Mix the onion soup packets with water and pour in until the brisket and vegetables are covered with liquid, adding more water as necessary. Cover and place in oven.
- Cook covered for 2-3 hours until tender. I try to check on it and make sure the meat stays tender. Once it's done, let it sit for 1 hour to rest. Serve.
Notes
Some recipes use a tomato product such as ketchup or tomato paste, but my father's does not.
Substitutions:
If you don't like yellow potatoes, you can use any kind you prefer.
I used a Kosher cut of brisket because I was near a Kosher supermarket and I knew they would have it in stock. It was more expensive at my local supermarket, $55, but only $43 at the Kosher supermarket. If you can snag one on sale and freeze it, that is the best way.
