CAROL'S BEEF BRISKET

Steps:

• Place brisket in baking dish.
• In a bowl, mix 1st five ingredients and pour over brisket, cover tightly w/ foil.
• Bake at 300 degrees for 3 hours.
• Serve sliced w/ noodles or mashed potatoes.

ELAINE'S BRISKET

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450; you'll also need a roasting pan with a lid large enough to hold the brisket easily with a little space (but not too much) around it.
• Aluminum foil can be used to cover the pan if necessary.
• Put the meat in the roasting pan, and sear uncovered for 15 minutes.
• While the meat is searing, combine the cranberry sauce, onion soup mix and ketchup in a bowl; mix well.
• Remove the pan from the oven and lower the heat to 350.
• Pour the cranberry sauce mixture over the brisket, then pour enough ginger ale into the pan so it will cover the meat about half way up (you don't want it completely covered).
• Bake, covered, for 2 1/2 hours, occasionally spooning some of the sauce over the meat if desired.
• Slice the brisket on the diagonal, against the grain.
• You can return the slices to the sauce to reheat, if desired.
• NOTE: The amount of ginger ale you need will depend on the size of the brisket and your pan, but I've found usually 1-2 cans (1 1/2 to 3 cups) usually will do it.

BRISKET WITH CARROTS AND ONIONS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Place the brisket in a heavy roasting pan. In a small bowl, combine the salt, pepper, garlic, and oregano. Rub the mixture on the brisket. Pile the carrots, celery, onions, and bay leaves on the brisket and pour in enough tomato juice to come about 3/4 of the way up the meat and vegetables. Cover the top of the pan with 2 sheets of parchment paper, then with aluminum foil. (The tomato juice will react unpleasantly with the aluminum foil if they touch.)
• Bake for 3 1/2 hours, or until the meat is tender. Remove the meat from the pan and keep it warm. Place the pan on 2 burners and boil the vegetables and sauce over medium heat for another 30 minutes, or until the sauce is thickened.
• To serve, slice the meat across the grain. Serve with the vegetables.

OVEN-BAKED BRISKET

Steps:

• Place brisket, fat side down, in a 13x9-in. baking dish. In a small bowl, mix Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, onion salt, liquid smoke, salt, pepper and hot pepper sauce; pour over brisket. Turn brisket fat side up; refrigerate, covered, overnight., Remove brisket from refrigerator. Preheat oven to 300°. Bake, covered, 4 hours. In a small bowl, combine sauce ingredients. Spread over brisket. Bake, uncovered, 15-30 minutes longer or until tender. Cut diagonally across the grain into thin slices.
