Tribute Brisket not smoked from my Dad's recipe

[MJB05615]

Hello All! Been a while since I last posted. Hoping to post a lot more in the next few months.
Growing up my Dad (RIP) did all of the cooking. He had a lot of different recipes. Not sure if this Brisket method/recipe was his originally or from somewhere else, but it's very good. All of his meals were excellent.

Here it goes:

Brisket Flat in crockpot without any ingredients.


Next is with all ingredients added: 2 cans Cream of Mushroom Soup, Lipton Beefy Onion Soup mix, Worsteshire Sauce.



Then turn on low for 6 hours approx, depending on meat size. I still check IT many times to be sure. here it is 2 hours in.

This is it finished and very juicy and tender, before slicing. IT was 202-205.


All sliced up. My knife skills ain't so good, lol.

The Mrs. made excellent Mashed Potatoes and Brazillian Rolls, here's the ingredients for the rolls.

Also some eggs and milk, it's from a recipe we found and almost identical to the ones you get at a Brazillian Steakhouse.
Finally the Table shot.

Everything came out great! We haven't made this in more than 10 years. My Dad's original recipe cooked in a cooking bag in the oven, back in the 60's-70's.
Pretty simple meal and really good. Took me back to my youth.
Thanks for looking.
Mike

That looks fantastic Mike !! Awesome shot of the table setting too .
My opinion is that's the best use of a brisket flat . I've used the instant pot , crock and the oven .
Thanks for posting bud .

GREAT JOB ON THAT COOK MIKE, YOUR DAD WOULD BE PROUD, RIP. I LOVE USING THE CROCKPOT, IT'S A WONDERFUL TOOL. SO NO WATER OR OTHER LIQUID ADDED TO THE POT, JUST THE SHROOM SOUP? THINK I'LL GIVE THIS A SHOT, I LIKE BRISKET BUT NEVER SMOKE IT ANYMORE, RATHER DO DINO RIBS. RAY

Thanks David. It is definitely on the Menu this Winter. I had the same thought yesterday. Give it a try, very easy whichever method you use.

Thanks Ray. No other liquids, and remember the worsteshire is to taste. We only added a few bottle shakes maybe 1/8 cup? And you can really taste it in the end product. And the Lipton Beefy Onion Soup mix. 1 Envelope of that, and 2 regular sized cans of the shroom soup.

That looks delicious Mike! I love using cream of soups like that. I really like that cream of mushroom and roasted garlic one.

That's so cool & reminds me of how my mom would do them. She cooked a few briskets in the oven! They were always so good. That sounds like a tasty recipe.

I'd sit down for a plate!

Thanks Brian. The Mrs asked to use that one, Roasted Garlic, but this first time in a while making it, we went traditional. I wonder what else we can make in a similar way, hadn't thought about it much.

Very tasty Randy. I first had it as a kid, so it must be an old recipe. What other methods did your Mom do with Briskets?

Mom just cooked em like a roast in the oven. She'd come home on her lunch break and throw it in the oven with seasonings like allegro and other roast type savory flavors. Serve it up for dinner after she & dad had put in a full days work. Dad would smoke brisket on his old black "bullet" smoker at least a couple of times a year and when camping at the lake but I've had good oven cooked brisket more than once. Next day was leftovers, usually like a hash or sandwiches. Nothing went to waste around our house.

Nice cook and honoring your dad!

I have made lots of beef and venison "stew" over the years with almost that exact combo! Makes a tasty meal!

good cold winter dinner.

definitely on the Menu this Winter.

Yup . Makes a great roast beef style supper . If you have an instant pot it does a great job for a short cook .

Sounds really good! We're gonna experiment in the Fall/Winter. You reminded me about the leftovers as a kid. We did have hash and stuff from Brisket and Corned Beef. Up North there wasn't much meat smoking, but my Dad always used a Charcoal Grill he built on cinder blocks and huge grates I think he had made, not sure. Ironically in the 60's he worked in Brooklyn NY in a place called "Premier Smoked Meats." They cold smoked, very big place, Smoked Turkey , etc.
