In my hometown of Austin, it’s hard to escape the wafting aroma of Central Texas Barbecue. Yes, that means there’s tender brisket and spicy smoked sausage links at every turn, but it’s way more fun to make your own. If you’ve got the time (half a day, but you can keep busy with stuff while the meat smokes), a well-marbled beef brisket, and a couple bags of lump charcoal and wood chunks, you can part-time pitmaster your way to tender smoked meat.
My cookbooks are devoted to firing up dinner quickly and seasoning foods with a whiff of wood smoke in as little as 20 to 30 minutes. But every now and then, when a sunny weekend calls for quality time with my trusty grill and barbecue and all the fixings, only slow-smoked brisket will suffice.

Whether you're celebrating Passover or Rosh Hashanah, having a backyard BBQ or just gathering with friends on a Sunday, a simple beef brisket recipe can be the perfect way to feed a crowd. With a side of mashed potatoes or a lightly dressed green salad, a wine-braised brisket in the oven, cooked until fork tender, can be the ultimate comfort food. Here's how to make the best beef brisket—with a few tips and tricks to get you there with flying colors.
There are a handful of cooking firsts that stand out clearly in my brain amongst the daily fog of cold cereal and potato chip sandwiches. One is the first meal I ever made for my family: buttered spaghetti with boiled potatoes. There's also the first time I ever perfectly poached an egg: I was in college working in a restaurant kitchen under the tutelage of a crush, and I was cooking on an induction burner.

Your new favorite beef brisket recipe is here! It’s really at its best the second day, making it the perfect make-ahead dish for your Hanukkah dinner party.
This brisket recipe is a culmination of a few years’ worth of trial and error.
(I don’t know why but I always want to spell brisket like biscuit… briscuit. My brain is weird…)
Anyway. Brisket. Why did it take so long to perfect this recipe? Well, we really only make brisket once a year: for our annual Hanukkah dinner party. So it’s taken us a few tries… and a few years… to get it right.
But let me just say that all that time has been well worth it… because this one’s a keeper!
Maybe you’re more like a twice-a-year brisket maker, for Hanukkah AND Passover (and, assuming you track down all Kosher-for-passover ingredients like soy sauce, this recipe works for both!) And really, who needs a holiday as an excuse? You could certainly make this for any occasion (or non-occasion even, this recipe would make a lovely Sunday night supper for your family).
Most Hanukkah brisket recipes call for braising the brisket in the oven at 350 for 3 to 4 hours. The first time we made brisket we followed one of these recipes, and the result was less than ideal.
To really get that ultra tender, fall-apart, melt-in-your-mouth brisket, you need to go way lower and way slower.
And the easiest way to do that? A slow cooker of course.
In the case of this brisket, 10 hours on low is just about perfect, resulting in a ridiculously tender piece of meat. Just how tender? Practically-fall-apart-when-you-try-to-serve it tender (tip: ditch the tongs for a thin, wide spatula).
Brisket melts might be my new favorite thing! Because ‘tis the season for comfort food. And comfort food this is. It’s a dreamy, cheese smothered sandwich that is decadent and goes great with an icy beer. There is so much going on in this recipe but I promise it all comes together to create a […]

Brisket melts might be my new favorite thing!
Because ‘tis the season for comfort food.
And comfort food this is.
It’s a dreamy, cheese smothered sandwich that is decadent and goes great with an icy beer.
There is so much going on in this recipe but I promise it all comes together to create a flavor explosion.
First, brisket slow cooked in pumpkin beer (or you could use cider!) then pulled and shredded to create the best sandwich ever.
The brisket goes on pretzel rolls that have been showered in everything seasoning (I shared my own recipe for everything seasoning here!), making you feel like you could never have another pretzel without everything again!
Then! Then you swirl together some honey mustard with a touch a mayo to create the most incredible spread. It’s unreal. It’s delicious. It takes things over the top!
I’ve found the slow cooker to be my favorite way to make pulled brisket. It comes out so tender and wonderful. And this is the slow cooker I use, which you know I’m obsessed with because you can sear right in the cooker! It’s the best ever.
For the pretzel buns?
Well, back in the day I used to make them at home ALL the time. But now I can find them more easily – they are more accessible! So sometimes I buy them too, depending on how fresh they are. The good news is that however you get them, whether you make them from scratch or buy them, you can still brush them with butter and cover them in everything seasoning.
They are delish.
These melts are perfect for a fall weekend or even for Halloween night. You can make the brisket ahead of time (or do it in the slow cooker all day, the day of!) and assemble the sandwiches when you’re ready to serve. They are RICH, and they go perfectly with a big greens salad.
Or fries or chips, of course.
Between this and my cauliflower schnitzel, you have everything you need for the perfect October sandwich fest!
This pumpkin beer brisket melts are smothered in havarti cheese and served on everything pretzel rolls. They are ridiculously delicious!
Whether your pretzel buns are homemade or store bought, I like to cover them in everything seasoning! Right before serving the sandwiches, heat your oven to 325 degrees, just to warm them for the sandwiches. Brush the tops with the melted butter and sprinkle the everything seasoning on top. Place the buns in the oven for 8 to 10 minutes.
I mean, there is some green in there!

Beef Brisket cooked as a pot roast couldn’t be easier. Just sear and then cook it in the oven with onions and garlic all afternoon until it becomes fall-apart tender. The leftovers freeze beautifully, too! Continue reading “Beef Brisket Pot…
