Grandma's Classic Brisket
Ingredients
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1 (4 pound) beef brisket
  • ground black pepper to taste
  • 2 onions, thickly sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic, peeled and cut in half
  • salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
1
Preheat the cooking vessel by heating a substantial amount of oil in a deep, large skillet or pot over an elevated heat level. Sprinkle the brisket liberally with a generous amount of black pepper to enhance its flavor profile.
2
Place the seasoned brisket in the pan and cook until it develops a deep, rich brown color on its surface, without allowing it to burn. Remove the brisket from the pan and transfer the onions to the same cooking vessel.
3
Place the uncooked side of the brisket back into the pan, allowing it to come into contact with the onions. Repeat the browning process to achieve an even coloration.
4
Add a few cloves of garlic to the pan and fill it with enough liquid to cover nearly the entire surface of the brisket. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
5
Lower the heat level and cover the pan with a lid or tight-fitting aluminum foil to facilitate slow cooking. Simmer for 4 hours, flipping the brisket over halfway through the cooking period to ensure even tenderization. The result should be a fork-tender roast.
6
Transfer the cooked brisket to a serving platter. Bring the remaining broth in the pan to a gentle simmer, scraping the bottom of the vessel to release any browned residue.
7
Continue cooking until the gravy has reached a thin consistency, allowing you to season it with salt and pepper as desired.
