Brisket is done, separated the point from the flat and scraped the loose fat.

Now for the review!

I was really unimpressed with the gravy as was my wife, specifically the orange flavoring, I really thought the Orange would compliment the dish. I like oranges but felt it took away from this dish. If you are an orange lover, you may feel differently.

For me, this would be a top notch dish ditching the orange and beefing up the beef flavor with some beef base and some Worcestershire.
 

I will be freezing the rest of the sauce to use for another dish. Probably a beef mushroom stew using the leftover brisket, and tweaking with some more beef base.

The Piece of flat I cut off for my daughter was way overcooked, the rest of the brisket itself was perfect. I will be slicing some tonight and serving plain and with barbecue sauce.

What would I do differently.
 

• Make the Tangy Tomato instead.

or

• Omit the orange and stick with a Beef Burgundy Mushroom sauce, adding Worcestershire butter and beef base to name a few.
• Cut more of the thinner part of the flat off and cook till 190 internal

If (If meaning probably not) I was to make this recipe again.

• I would use no more than one orange for zest.

I am working on a recipe for a Beef Burgundy Mushroom and will try it out on a smaller brisket, Brisket will be chopped and serve on Noodles or Mashed potatoes (shepherds pie Brisket).
