Brisket

The low and slow cooking method results in deep flavours and melt-in-your-mouth texture. - Amy Stopnicki

For some people, the idea of making a roast or a large piece of meat can be a daunting task. It seems like many have a fear of ruining their potentially expensive cut. A roast is the type of thing that once you have learned a few tricks of the trade, making meat can be as easy as 1-2-3.

This is a brisket that I have been making for many years. It is a great recipe to start with if you are not yet comfortable with slow-cooked meat. The low-and-slow cooking method results in deep flavours and melt-in-your-mouth texture.

Hope you enjoy!
