Andrew Zimmern Cooks: Braised Brisket

This classic braised brisket is a riff on my grandmother’s recipe. It was one of the first dishes I helped my grandmother make and a staple at my family’s holiday table for generations. Braised in the oven with fennel and onions, it’s perfectly melting and tender.

Brilliant, and you didn't take 25 minutes of waffle to get the recipe across. Thank you. Excellent.

I tried this recipe and it was the BEST brisket of my life. Everyone raved. Highly recommend!

The Jewish lady across the street from us showed my Italian mother how to make brisket and it's been a favorite for about 50 years. Works great with a chuck roast too. We always put some of the onions on top.

The recipe that made me a subscriber. I was an expert at all ways brisket but went 20 years without cooking one. Decided I should refresh myself. This is w hat I remembered.

I made my first brisket, getting inspiration from this recipe.
It was a belated valentine-ish treat for my husband.

I marinated it in the rub overnight.
I cooked it on a bed of onion and potatoes until it reached 190° internal temperature. I let it cool covered in foil for over an hour. Talk about delish. It was crazy good.

I froze it. Took it out yesterday and sliced it in two inch squares 1/4 inch thick and fried it with onions and created a beef and broccoli Chinese sauce for a beef & broccoli dish. It worked fantastic.

I realize that this is 5 years old, but I just saw it for the first time. I gotta admit, I am looking forward to duplicating your perfection.
I made brisket for the first time last month for my 6th wedding Anniversary, and my wife and I really enjoyed it. However, your recipe LOOKS better than the one that I followed, so... It's brisket time again.
Thanks for your excellent method, and your brief yet concise video instructions.
Bon appetite!

I tried this but changed up the seasonings I used for the rub a bit. dude, I'm never going back to how I used to make brisket again it turned out awesome.

Brilliant recipes Andrew. Although I am not Jewish, I studied at the Yeshiva Gadolah in Victoria Australia for Three years out of interest in the Jewish faith. I attended the Yeshiva and Addas Israel schuls in that time and studied with some excellent Rabbis. In that time; I was exposed to all kinds of Jewish foods. I loved the Chopped Liver, the G'filte Fish and many many bowls of Jewish Penicillin and loved them. The only Jewish dish I could not get accustomed to was the CHULANT. The day I saw and tasted the CHULANT; I was sure our Army Corporal Cook was still alive and had found his way to Schul to take his revenge on me. Love the recipes mate. Can you show me how to make G'Filte fish please
