Beth's Brisket Recipe

Beth first made this recipe for us years ago when we were visiting and we all absolutely loved it.  I asked her many times for the recipe but she kept ignoring me saying it was a "family secret." After many years of begging her for the recipe, she finally gave it to me and I'm happy to share it with you all today.

This recipe means so much to me now that Beth is gone.  You can read about my sister-in-law's sudden death in my post, "A Wedding and a Funeral." 

Beth made the recipe in the oven, and usually the day before she needed to serve it. This was the recipe she always made for all the Jewish holidays their family celebrated.

Serving Tips

I like to thicken the liquid that the brisket cooked in and make a sauce to serve with the brisket. It's not really a traditional gravy, more like a thick barbecue/chili sauce that tastes delicious served over the brisket slices. 

• Once the brisket is done cooking, remove it to a cutting board and cover with aluminum foil to rest while you prepare the sauce.
• Pour the liquid from the crock pot through a fine sieve that's placed over a bowl.
• Then place the liquid in a saucepan on the stove and bring it to a boil.  
• Continue boiling until the liquid is reduced and thickened; about five minutes. 
• You'll have a lovely thick sauce to serve over the brisket.
