But what’s funny, is that I don’t think it takes much time…just planning. The prep work is pretty minimal. You just have to know to make it a few days ahead of time.
Another tip: once the meat is cooked through, remove it from the pan and boil down the sauce a bit – that will intensify the flavors and maybe even save you one day of waiting for the perfect taste!

The first day…I wasn’t all that impressed. The next day however…hmm, not bad at all. The third day…YES. This is it!! I am a relative newcomer to this dish, although my grandmother and mom made it all the time when I was a kid back in the stoneage . This was way too ambitious for me. But, hubby was waxing nostolgic and wanted a good old fashioned brisket like his aunt Ruth Lee used to make. I realize now that the trick is in the preparation and the fusing of flavors. If you want the dish to be at its best, you have have to cook it three days in advance and let it sit. This is counter-intuitive to someone raised in the virtues of a medium rare steak. I just never thought overcooked beef had any merit but…it is in the patience required to truly meld all of the flavors of the ingredients. This is the antithesis of fast food. Don’t know when I will venture to do this again, but it will probably be when I have three days off from my day job. Thanks, great recipe!

Sounds yum. I’ve always prided myself on my brisket (the one thing I cook better than my mom–although it’s her recipe–sometimes, it’s the intagibles that go into making a dish exceptional…). I DO use onion soup though (among real onions and other things too…..).

Maybe one day we’ll meet–briskets in hand–and fress until we explode!
