Melt In Your Mouth Brisket
Ingredients
- 3 lb. first-cut brisket
- 2 tbsp. paprika
- 2 tbsp. garlic powder
- 2 tbsp. dried chives (optional)
- 1 tbsp. salt
- 2 large Spanish onions
- 1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
- 1/3 cup honey
Instructions
- Slice the onions in rounds. Place them in the bottom of a baking dish.
- Combine the paprika, garlic powder, chives and salt in a small bowl. Cover the brisket with the spice mixture. Pat it in gently until the meat can hold no more.
- Place the meat on top of the onions and put it into the oven at 400° F for 1 hour.
- Take the meat out, add the balsamic vinegar and honey, and cover the baking dish tightly. Lower the temperature to 250° F and cook for another 4 hours, until the meat is fork tender.
- Refrigerate the meat until completely cold (preferably overnight), then cut in thin slices against the grain. Return the sliced meat to the sauce. Reheat in the oven, or over a low flame. Serve with the onions and sauce.
