What is brisket? A cut of beef that needs to be cooked slowly to break down the connective tissues. The unique thing about this cut of beef is that it can be slow cooked so it’s fork tender, yet is still sliceable. It also has a better beefy flavour compared to other slow cooking beef cuts like chuck.
Incidentally I decided I wanted to try a beef Brisket since I had never attempted to make one. My next thought was where to buy one that was about 3 lbs.
I went to Costco and realized that they only had huge ones (6# was smallest) so in order to buy one I had to have a plan.
Not only was I spending imo a considerable amount of money for a brisket I had to decide how I’d prepare one.
First things first. I bought a trimmed brisket. Less work! It Made sense. I cut the brisket in half. So I wrapped well and froze the other half.
On to my recipe for the half that I didn’t freeze. This is what I came up with. Oh by the way I bought this!!! At Costco while browsing so I now had my plan on how I was making my Beef brisket.
1 (3 pound) beef brisket, trimmed of fat
salt and pepper to taste( approximately ) 1/2 tsp. each
1 1/2 cups Thai sweet chili
1 1/2 cups Beef broth
1 tsp. Onion powder
1 tsp. Garlic powder
Place seasoned brisket in crockpot. In a bowl place sauce and broth and Whisk to combine. Add mixture to top of brisket .
Cook on low 6 to 8 hours. Allow to rest 10 minutes and slice. Top with sauce.
Enjoy!
Happy new cooking adventure for me!
