Sweet & Sour Brisket

If you’re new to meat, or looking for something new, here’s a simple brisket preparation that will be sure to delight one and all.

A few notes: You don’t need much liquid. The brisket will create its own liquid and basted itself. The critical point is that the lid must be tightly sealed so the meat doesn’t dry out. Wrap aluminum foil tightly over your pan, or use it to create an extra seal between the pan and lid if your pan has a lid. If you are checking the brisket mid-way through cooking, remember to reseal the lid tightly.

The cook time below (3 hours) will give you nice slices. If you want to pull the brisket, cook for longer — closer to 5 hours total. At this point the meat will be truly fork tender and shred easily.

Brisket is particularly delicious when served a day after cooking. If you have time, cook first then refrigerate whole; it will be much easier to slice cold. Serve at room temperature or warm (cover tightly and baste with cooking liquid before reheating so it doesn’t dry out).
