Today for lunch I had sausage balls, pasta salad, blue and pink cake, blue and pink punch and a roast beef sandwich with chips! We had a baby shower here at the office.

I had a beef brisket that my wife cooked. It was good. My only complaint was that she used ketchup for a sauce to go with it instead of BBQ sauce. However, in her defense, she was just following my aunt's recipe.

J's Brisket

2 medium vidalia onions (diced)
3 cloves of garlic (minced)
3 bay leaves
1 can beef broth
1 can of chicken broth
1 5-lb brisket
peanut oil
vegetable oil

saute onions in vegetable oil in a large pasta pot. When they become translucent, toss in garlic. Saute until onions start to brown but aren't carmelized. Add both cans of broth. Toss in the bay leaves.

While the onions are cooking, pan sear the brisket in a fry pan in the peanut oil. After it's pan seared, place, fat side up, in a disposable roasting pan (make sure it has a slight edge around the pan).

When onion/broth mixture comes to a boil, pour over the brisket. Seal the roasting pan with aluminum foil. Make sure it's sealed tight so no moisture escapes.

Cook at 400 degrees for about 4 to 4 1/2 hours.

Nice recipe Jillian. Do you season the brisket before pan searing?

Hi, Joan!

All I know is when I make it, there aren't any leftovers. ;)

I had it at the house of a friend of mine and thought it was the best I've ever had. I really should give HER credit for it... but I figured no one here would know who Susan is. ;)

Let me know how it goes! The most important thing is having a really good seal between the roasting tray and the tinfoil. If it's not sealed, it gets dried out.

Also, I find BJ's has the best brisket. Cooks up softest. Meat falls apart with a fork when it's done properly.

Nice recipe Jillian. Do you season the brisket before pan searing?

Nope...nada. The peanut oil has all the flavor you need, especially when you're going to cook it in all the seasoning from the liquid mixture.

You can do all kinds of stuff. Mashed potatoes is good. So is orzo with carmelized onions or rice and peas.

Depends on what rocks you.

You balance all those carbs by eating lots of meat. That's where the brisket comes in. :D
