Grammy’s Brisket
One of our recipes from the Granny cook-off!
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons EVOO – Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- 1 5 to 6 pound beef brisket, trimmed and cleaned
- 2 14-ounce cans whole berry cranberry sauce
- 2 2-ounce packets onion soup mix
- 1/2 cup ketchup
- 2 cups ginger ale
- 1 teaspoon orange marmalade
- 1 cup black coffee
Yields: Serves 4 to 6
Preparation
Preheat oven to 375ºF.
Place a large skillet over high heat with 2 turns of the pan of EVOO, about 2 tablespoons. Sear the meat in the hot pan until deep brown on both sides, about 5 minutes per side. While the meat is browning, in a mixing bowl combine the remaining ingredients.
Transfer the browned meat to a large casserole dish and cover with the sauce mixture. Cover the pan tightly with aluminum foil and place in the oven. Bake, basting a few times during cooking, until the meat is tender enough to shred easily with a fork, about 3 hours.
When the meat is ready, transfer to a cutting board and let rest for about 10 minutes. Serve the meat thinly sliced with the pan gravy and your favorite sides.
