The easiest make ahead onion soup brisket thats almost as good as my mom made.
Stress Free & Yummy Holiday Brisket – This is a soul warming onion soup brisket that is perfect for the holidays. Every year on Hanukkah, my whole family would cheer for my mom’s brisket! For years, I have been asking for the recipe, and each year I make the brisket it is never as delicious as Mama Goldstein’s.
So I went on a brisket journey and have made it 1,000 times in the oven, crock pot, and with a prayer (a lot of times LOL). I finally combined my mom’s recipe with my wins in cooking this amazing dish. The best part is you can make this the day before because it tastes even better the next day! This is one pan, comes with a potato side, and is totaly make ahead!
This is great for Hanukkah, Christmas, or a cold snowy night to warm up your soul!
Steps To Brisket (full recipe below)
- Add potatoes, veggies, and brisket in a roasting pan. Season with salt/pepper, and onion soup mix.
2. Add beef broth and lots of onions. Then cover and cook on low 6 hours at 300 degrees.
3. Finally, Let brisket rest 15 minutes and cut opposite of the lines of beef so fall apart tender!
Brisket Tips and Hacks:
- Season the Beef the Night Before: If you put the seasoned beef in the fridge overnight, this gives the seasoning time to go all the way through the beef. Not just season the surprise. This makes the brisket flavorful every bite!
- Cut the Onion Soup Brisket Against the Grain: When cutting brisket you can make it even more fall apart tender. Cutting against the grain means to find the lines of brisket and cut the opposite way. Think of a plus sign. What every way grains of beef go cut to make plus sign.
- Gratitude in the Kitchen: While you mix, stir, and cut think of what you are grateful for. Use the kitchen as a place for time to your self. Happy Cooking!
