Beef brisket – a holiday tradition

In our home no matter WHAT the holiday I remember my mom making a brisket. Chanukah, Passover, the High Holidays, even on Thanksgiving along with the turkey she served brisket. It’s odd that we never seemed to have it ANY other time…only on a holiday. While I tend to be a bit more traditional on Thanksgiving, come Chanukah I’ll be making my mom’s brisket as well. It’s a tradition that I hope Ben & Steph will continue when they have a family of their own.

SheSpeaks has teamed up with Macy’s and their Recipe Share Contest! They’ve asked me to share a favorite holiday recipe so I’m passing along my mother’s (and now MY) holiday brisket. It’s easy to make (although takes a while to cook).

Holiday Oven Brisket

Ingredients

  • 5-6 lb. brisket of beef
  • 1 pkg. of dry onion soup mix
  • 1/4 c. molasses
  • 1/2 c. ketchup
  • 1 tsp. worcestershire sauce
  • 1 c. water
  • pinch of dry mustard
  • drop of Tabasco sauce
  • 1 lb. carrots
  • 3 lg. potatoes

Preparation

  1. Preheat oven to 325°
  2. Cut carrots and potatoes into large chunks
  3. Place vegetables around the brisket in a dutch oven
  4. Mix the remainder of the ingredients together and pour over the brisket.
  5. Bake at 325° for about 2 1/2 to 3 hours
  6. Check often and add more water if necessary
  7. When tender remove from oven
  8. Slice brisket and return to the pan
  9. Refrigerated and reheat for an hour before serving.

    We had a brrrrr kind of morning. It’s unusual to wear jackets in South Florida this early in the season. I LOVED it AND I wanted to make this for dinner. Hearty winter food.

    One of my favorite parts of Hanukkah is my moms beef brisket. The recipe is similar but yours has a lot of more ingredients. Thank you for sharing, printing this off for next year 🙂
