How To Make Beef Brisket Recipe?

1. Pickle the Onions: Slice the baby onions in half and remove the roots. Boil beetroot juice, water, white wine vinegar, and sugar, then pour over the onions. Let them cool in a jar in the fridge for 2 days.
2. Make the Brine: Boil water, salt, peppercorns, mustard seeds, star anise, bay leaves, and garlic. Let it cool.
3. Brine the Beef: Place the beef in the brine and refrigerate for 6 hours.
4. Sear the Beef: Rinse the beef, pat dry, and sear in a hot pan until brown on all sides.
5. Cook the Beef: Place the beef in a tray, cover with veal stock, and cook at 90°C for 8 hours.
6. Make the Sauce: Strain the cooking liquid and simmer until it thickens into a sauce.
7. Prepare the Mash: Boil potatoes until soft, then mash them with melted smoked butter and warm cream. Season with salt.
8. Reheat the Beef: Preheat the oven to 180°C. Cut the beef into portions and heat in the oven with some sauce and butter for 10 minutes.
9. Serve: Place the beef on mashed potatoes, and top with pickled onions, sauce, and nasturtium leaves.

Recipe Tips:

• Brine the Beef Long Enough: Let the beef sit in the brine for 6 hours. This helps it stay tender and flavorful.
• Cook Slowly for Tender Beef: Cook the beef at 90°C for 8 hours to make it super tender.
• Rest the Beef: Let the beef cool before refrigerating. This makes it easier to slice.
• Use Smoked Butter: Smoked butter gives the mash a richer flavor, so be sure to use it.
• Prepare Pickled Onions Early: Make the pickled onions at least 2 days ahead to let them fully soak up the flavors.

How To Store & Reheat Leftovers?

• Refrigerate: Let the leftover beef cool to room temperature. Store it in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
• Freeze: Cool the beef, then store it in a freezer bag or airtight container. Freeze for up to 3 months.
• Reheat: Heat the beef brisket in a pan over low heat with a little bit of the sauce. Stir occasionally and heat for 5-7 minutes until warmed through.
