Do you like brisket? If you've never tried it, it's a mix between a steak and a roast. It usually comes packaged in a long strip in the grocery store, similar to a London broil. Brisket must be slow-cooked, and when it's done right, it's tender and delicious. Here's a recipe to get you started cooking this delicious meal.

For this recipe you'll need:

4 pounds beef brisket

1 onion, sliced into rings or diced

¼ cup ketchup

2 TB brown sugar - light or dark works

5 cloves of garlic (or more if you'd like)

12 ounces beef broth (low sodium)

2 TB flour

½ cup beef bouillon (non-fat)

To Make this recipe:

Season meat with salt and pepper and place in a 9x13-inch pan. Cover with the onion. In a bowl, combine the ketchup, sugar, garlic, and beef broth, and pour over meat. Cover with foil and bake at 300 degrees for four hours. Remove foil and bake uncovered for 35-40 minutes. Remove meat from pan.

For gravy:

Measure one cup of liquid from the pan, adding water if needed to make the one-cup. Combine beef bouillon and flour. Shake to blend, and then add drippings. Cook and stir until thick. Cool meat and slice cross-grain. Lay in baking dish and reheat.

Tips:

Brisket can also be boiled first then grilled and rubbed with barbecue sauce.

Beer makes a popular substitute for the beef broth in this recipe. The alcohol cooks out and only the flavor remains.
