Time 4h20m

Number Of Ingredients 7

PLAN/PURCHASE
4 lb beef brisket
2 clove garlic, peeled and finely chopped
1 large yellow onion, cut in half, pole-to-pole, and sliced
1 c chicken stock, not broth
salt, kosher variety, to taste
black pepper, freshly ground, to taste

Steps:

  • 1. PREP/PREPARE
  • 2. Gather your Ingredients (mise en place).
  • 3. Place a rack in the bottom position, and preheat the oven to 325f (165c).
  • 4. Add the sliced onions, garlic, and chicken stock to a large heavy-bottomed pot.
  • 5. Chef's Note: The pot will need a tight-fitting lid, and be big enough for the brisket and other ingredients. A 6-quart (5.5liter) size is perfect.
  • 6. Salt and pepper the brisket on both sides, and add to the pot, fat-side up.
  • 7. Cover and place into the preheated oven, and cook until the brisket is fork tender, about 1 hour per pound.
  • 8. Remove from the oven and allow to rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
  • 9. PLATE/PRESENT
  • 10. Slice thinly and serve with some of the onions, and cooking liquid. Enjoy.
  • 11. Keep the faith, and keep cooking.
