Brisk it Empty Brisk it

Post by Ms.Thang Sat Apr 13, 2013 12:38 pm

Ok , so I bought this beautiful looking Brisket at Sonora in la floresta. The only Brisket I have ever cooked has been the pre seasoned corned beef ones that come in a plastic bag. I boiled it and TA DAH! Perfection. Well, this brisket is in a bag just like that but is not seasoned. Or aged. And I am afraid it will bomb without some advise. It can not bomb because it will be feeding my extended family in a couple of weeks.
I can just stick it in the back of the fridge and let it age? In the package or do I take it out? I do not grill. So , maybe bake it in the oven , with a rub or glaze or ???
I repeat, this can not be a fail. Some advise or recipes would be greatly appreciated .

Having never done a brisket in the oven - no recommendations there.

As far as aging goes, I think you need to determine if you wish to dry age:

or wet age:

I wouldn't be concerned by the fact that many of these aging article refer to BBQ since the positive effects of aging are pretty much the same no matter how you are going to cook.

You need to tell us if you are smoking or oven roasting.

Ah in the oven, I see it now.

Salt and pepper it. Brown it in a skillet w, a small amount of oil.

Make some slits in it and insert garlic cloves. Place it in a baking pan fat side up.

Cook on 300 degree covered til fork tender. In other words cook like a Sunday roast and season to your liking. Slow cooking is the best and add small amount liquid to keep from burning if needed.

I didn't ask how I should age it, I have heard that other people have asked at Sonora if their beef is aged and they exclaim that "no! " our meat is fresh! I didn't see any point in going there . They said to cook it like a roast.
I never cook beef anymore because it is always awful.
Someone told me that you can age beef just by sticking it in the fridge and leave it there for a while , so I read about it on the Internet and got all confused...I don't want it to get all funky on me so...I think I will just stick it in the oven like EspirituDL said and hope for the best.

I went to Ajijic meat center and bought some stuff too. i bought Anguila (eel) filet, (another first) . it's pre cooked, barbecued I think. Very expensive ...$250.00 . It was full of tiny bones! My husband nearly choked to death.
He always orders it at Rikkis, never one single bone . There is no way to remove them...so if you have considered buying eel, don't!

If you have an aversion to your beef getting all "funky" on you, then I would suggest wet aging. Either way, aging can definitely improve the flavor, the texture and the outcome of your cooking experiment!

First of all, I am not a fan of Dan Rather, the former CBS newsperson. So there I've said that. But he does have a "famous" recipe for beef brisket that is smoky/BBQ style, but done in the oven. Have made it a few times and it's great if you like that style of thang. You'll need "Liquid Smoke", but that's easy to find locally.

Here's a link to the recipe. Kind of a funky site/slow to load, so if you have trouble just google for it, there are other sites with the recipe. Since it's a slow-cook recipe done in the oven, I don't think I'd sweat the aging of the beef too much. I'd probably freeze that puppy rather than let it sit in the refri for weeks. Key will be marinating it over night, plus the slow-and low-cooking. (And yes, I've gotten the enthusiastic, "Our meat is FRESH!!!" answer from the nice folks at Sonora, also.)

Provecho.

Just so you know, I didn't have any problem loading that site in a couple of seconds, using a friend's Infinitum at the lowest speed...

Yeah, I decided against aging it. I wonder if you can get the pink salt used in making corned beef here? I have read that if you want to skip the pink salt ( and the nitrates ) it tastes the same. Anybody ever done that?

Hmmm. Now there is a foolproof plan... Thanks for the tip, Pedro

Dan Rathers recipe opened up just fine, looks really easy. Thanks everyone!
