How do you cook Brisket

[Pferdestarke]

I'm having 8 around on Sunday for dinner and have bought amongst other things a good brisket. I am thinking of putting it in my oval roaster with a good stock, onion, carrot and seasoning and letting it simmer for about 4 hours at around 130c.

Any better ideas?

I'd do it in exactly the same way with the addition of a celery stick and a bay leaf.

Sounds good! does make a good pot roast!

Or salted and then slow-cooked. Brisket is the joint for salt beef and it is delicious.

Pot roast with good beef stock, red wine and herbs. Fantastic

Makes a gorgeous steak and ale pie too. Just lob in a tin of Guinness (with onions, carrots, celery), cook low and slow. Melts in your mouth!

or if you've got a couple of months and a cool dark place:

Bresaola.

John Torodes "Beef" Book, has the recipe. Bottle of Red, Bottle of White, few other bits, leave in the fridge for a couple of weeks, then hang it for 40 days I think.

I shall try it one day. You will nedd a quite large piece of meat though.

Like 4kg.

Place Brisket in pressure cooker with stock,celery, carrots and onion. season well and cook for 30 mins per 1lb. Then remove from liquor check it is tender and place in an oven at 150 degrees for 20 mins to dry out. Absolutley gorgeous.
we have this all the time. experiment with seasoning. such as cinnamon and cumin. or roasting with honey. damm fantastic cold the next day for sandwiches. much better than fake ham.

Does anyone know how long does salt beef keeps for? Can it be frozen??

I keep mine in stock for up to 5 days

have never frozen it but would imagine that it dries out and it will be horrid to eat

Not being a pedeant I hope but when you say "in stock", is that as in you run a deli??
