Beef brisket


I always wanted to make a brisket, so I read 10 recipes and winged it. The meat came out delicious and tender. I used grass fed beef from Whole Foods.

First I studded it with garlic, added salt and pepper, then seared each large surface.

I used white onions, fresh rosemary and thyme, and vegetable broth and cooked on low in a 250 oven for about eight hours. The meat came out so soft that it didn't need slicing. I used some of the broth to braise red cabbage.
