Jennifer's Notes:

As a young married cook, I was under the belief that I should be just like my grandmother. Apron on, dinner ready, table set when my new husband arrived home from work with a smile and a kiss for the beautiful wife he appreciates so much. Of course, reality set in pretty quick, but along the way I created this recipe. It is definitely one of the favorites in my house now...for the second husband and three kids. Enjoy!

Sweet & sassy... just like us! I guess, then, that it's no small wonder that we LOVE this delectable sauce.

 

Directions

1
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Rinse brisket in cold water.
2
If you have a roasting pan with rack, fill bottom with water, and place brisket on rack above the water. If you don't have a roasting rack/pan, you can make one. Pour water at least half-way up in a baking dish. Place a cake cooling rack on top of the baking dish with the brisket on this rack. If you don't have a cooling rack, place brisket on top rack of oven set in the middle with the lower rack just below it with the water filled baking dish. The water acts as a steam bake for the brisket ensuring optimal juiciness. I like to place the brisket fat side up for the first half of cooking to allow for the fat to render down into the meat some.
3
Mix the remaining ingredients in a medium saucepan and heat on low on the stove. Keep it on stove throughout the time the brisket cooks. I know it seems like a lot of sauce, but it will get used.
4
Your complete cooking time will depend on the weight of your brisket, so cooking times are approximate.
5
Every 20 to 30 minutes of cooking, spoon some of the sauce over the brisket. Half-way through your cook time, flip the brisket over & spoon sauce over the top allowing it to run down the sides. Place sauce back on stove top on low setting. Sauce will thicken as it cooks.
6
Once your meat is cook through, allow it to rest for about 15 minutes before cutting as this will allow the juices to set. Slice thin for best tenderness. Pour the remaining sauce over the meat and serve.

This is just AWESOME! The only thing I will do differently is 2 hours before done (I slow roasted at 275) I would put cabbage, onion, celery and potatoes in the steaming water bath that catches all the drippings. Wonderful recipe - my husband, firefighter, is going to make this for his crew next week.

This brisket looks fantastic! What are the cooking times? I know you said they vary based on the weight, but I have no idea where to start.

Roberta, how long did you slow roast your brisket? Approximate size?
LOL

Thank you both, I have two "boomerang" sons staying with me, we all love our roasted meats, well any kind of meat really. hahahaha

Hi Beth. I had a 4 pounder, mostly slow roasted with the fat side up and the last 2 hours I turned it over. I roasted this form 2:30 to 8pm. We made this again, just a few days ago, and bingo! The vegetables in the steam bath is just as good as I thought it would be. This is the best way ever to cook a corned beef brisket.

Thank you so much Roberta.
I just happened to buy one of those nice roasting pans with a rack to place inside for Christmas last year. Perfect for this recipe.
I am looking forward to this, and my oldest has promised to take care of preparing the vegetables.
I appreciate your quick response too Roberta. Today is grocery day, making a list right now.

I made this today and I love the meat with the sauce. I wasn't thinking very well though. I put the meat in a low oven to let it start cooking while I got the ingredients for the sauce. Needless to say I can never go to Wal-Mart and get home within a decent time. Also, they didn't have some of the spices I needed to get or the coconut oil I need for the Fruit Taco with Chocolate Tortilla recipe I'm planning on making for the kids while they are out of school this week. Soooooo, I did quickly make the sauce, but it is taking forever for the vegetables to get done. I did as Roberta suggested and put potatoes, onions, cabbage and carrots in the water. The meat and the sauce are wonderful, but the veggies aren't done yet. I hope the meat is still there when the vegetables get done! Thank you, Elizabeth and Roberta, for sharing the recipe/s. I made rye bread yesterday in the hopes of having leftovers for sandwiches. There is always ham!

I know the post was really long but I forgot the part of me going to 2 other stores while I was out. I got everything I needed, just will make sure next time I make the whole meal at once LOL.
