I’ve made brisket more times than I can count, much to the delight of my hungry, carnivorous neighbors. I’ve smoked it, braised it in wine, fashioned it into tacos or sliders. Which is helpful, because when cooking a full brisket there are often leftovers.
Luckily, Grow and Behold has a smaller 2-pound French Brisket cut, perfect for feeding a family, not an army. Though you can definitely adapt this recipe to your favorite slow-cooking roast such as classic brisket, top of rib, or pastrami roast.

This Persian Spiced French Brisket Recipe uses tons of Persian influenced spices, most you probably already have in your cabinet, the rest you can find in the bulk aisle, giving it a rich and complex flavor. Tart limes balance out the hearty meat, braised in a combination of coffee, red wine and both. I’m willing to bet there will be no leftovers this time.
To get the most flavor possible, season your meat the day before you cook it, and cook it the day before you plan to serve it.

Once again my excitement ran ahead of reading. I like mostly slow cooker recipes and I love making corned beef.
This brisket recipe looks amazing. I enjoy shaking up my food choices. Todah!
I’ve always done it low and slow on the grill. But this looks fantastic and i’m rethinking my next big hunk of meat!
In the slow cooker – it makes it so tender.

Crock pot. I try and use it for everything I can get away with. Lol
Sounds like interesting spicing
I slow cook it after marinating it for 24 hours. I then allow it to cool again and slice very thin to warm up with gravy made from juices.
Good in the slow cooker.
Low and slow in the oven
we love to smoke it with bbq spices! So good in a sub or by itself!
Yum!! can’t wait to try this recipe!!
I have literally no idea how to cook a brisket, other than throwing it into the crock pot. I’d have to Google/call my mom 🙂
What’s wrong with feeding an army? A 2# brisket is a sandwich, not a dinner!

I’ve actually never used the same recipe twice…..although I would like to find one that I love SO much that it becomes the standby. 😉
I love it in the crock pot with red potatoes. All day cooking so it falls apart.
My husband mixes up a spice rub to use on it, and then we bake it in the oven for several hours on low heat.
I like to cook brisket slow and low with a homemade sauce my hubby makes.
I love to cook my brisket with bbq sauce slowly at 200 degrees
Season the raw brisket on both sides. Place in a roasting pan and roast, uncovered, for 1 hour. Add beef
stock and enough water to yield about 1/2 inch of liquid in the roasting
pan. Lower oven to 300 degrees F, cover pan tightly and continue cooking for 3 hours, or until fork-tender.
to perfection :p. mmmm
we slow cook it
I like to braise it. Thanks for the chance!
