Do Not Eat This The Same Day It's Cooked!


Preheat oven to 300º


1) Sprinkle liberally on each side with pepper, salt and garlic salt. Place in a baking dish and cover with foil. Cook approximately 45 minutes per pound.


2) Remove and cool. Drain natural juices into a container. Cover and refrigerate. When meat is completely cooled, refrigerate covered.

3) The next day. Preheat the oven to 300º Slice meat in thin slices starting at the small end. A 4 lb. brisket yields about 30 slices. Place the slices back in the pan. Remove the congealed fat layer on the top of the juices, and pour the juices over the meat. Add mushrooms on top (if using canned, be sure to drain) Heat 30-45 minutes.


4) If you need more natural juices, add a little canned beef stock. Juices can be thickened if desired by bringing to a boil over medium heat. To 3 heaping teaspoons of cornstarch, slowly add 1/2 cup cold water and mix thoroughly. Pour slowly into boiling juices, and stir until thickened.
