Looking for suggestions on cooking a brisket

[Melatonin]

So... I have a large chunk of meat that I want to cook and DEVOUR... However this is my first time cooking a brisket. I do not have a smoker, nor a grill, nor a big enough slow cooker (only have a 4-6 quart cooker). So I have to do this by oven. I've done a lot of research and just can't seem to find something fairly easy and simple but tasty.

So I turn to the masses of DDM... What do you guys do when you cook a brisket? Beer? Wine? Sugar and spices? Can of coke?

Help a meat lovin sista out here!

Dr. Pepper?


Really????


LOTS of onions, carrots, celery, potatos, Lawry's seasoned spice, loads of garlic cloves, and water. The water should be covering a few inches of the meat.

Not sure what temp to roast it at, but, it will end up delicious with some white rice.

dr pepper AND spices works good for ribs too. cook it in that shit then finish it up on the grill

I marinade it in a plastic bag over night

I don't measure either but


Garlic
couple beef boullion cubes
salt pepper
little ketchup
worchester sauce
a little soy
a little liquid smoke
BBQ sauce
finely chopped onion


cook it at 350 for a couple hours.... in covered shallow baking dish... turn it over and cook another hour

then I slice a little of it and take a couple forks and pull the rest and toss it back into the pan and cook it for a half hour or so an let it suck up all the juice

Yes Merritt we get it. All a good brisket needs to taste fanstic is to be cooked properly.

I thought brisket was the type of meat you put in a pot roast?

Now I'm confused.

you can use the slow cooker if you cut the brisket up first (then you can add potatoes & carrots & onions, ala pot roast)

OR- if you want it to stay intact & do it in the oven:

buy a reynolds roasting bag (like they sell for turkeys on thanksgiving) you will thank me later. they keep the meat moist & your pan pretty clean, no basting needed. they sell them in either the baking aisle or the soup aisle where the gravy lives.

put it in the oven long enough based on weight of the meat.

i would get a recipe off recipezaar. they are the business.

some people use different cuts of meat for pot roast. you can make it with chuck roast or rump roast or even brisket. "pot roast" is really a recipe not a specific cut of meat.

I put mine in a crock pot - with gold buckle brisket sauce - 8 hours med temp. Mmm MMM MMM Good.
