Deep rich beef brisket

6 Servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
Beef brisket (3-5 lb)
½ cup Flour
½ teaspoon Salt
½ teaspoon Paprika
¼ teaspoon Pepper
2 tablespoons Peanut or canola oil
1 cup Water
1 teaspoon Instant beef bouillon
2 larges Onions, thinly sliced
2 larges Tomatoes, diced with seeds
.removed (see note)
3 Cloves garlic, crushed
¼ cup Catsup
2 teaspoons Cornstarch
3 tablespoons Water

Directions

Arrange charcoal for indirect cooking (not directly under meat). Place flour, salt, pepper and paprika in a large zip-lock baggie. Place meat in bag and shake to coat. Heat oil in a large skillet and sear meat until it is browned. Set brisket aside; add water and bring to a boil. Add bouillon and dissolve. Stir in remaining ingredients (except cornstarch and 3 tbsp water); mix well and remove from heat.

Place brisket on center of a large piece of tin foil. (Set skillet aside, you will be using it later on.) Pour bouillon mixture over both sides of brisket. Wrap brisket tightly with two more sheets of tin foil turning the wrap 90 degrees after each wrapping. This will help keep the juices from seeping out.

When coals are white hot throw the brisket on. Cover and cook for about 2 hours; turning it over after one hour. Add more charcoal as necessary. Remove from grill and carefully open package without spilling juices. Pour juices into skillet; recover brisket to keep warm. Combine cornstarch and water; mix well. Pour into skillet and heat to boiling to make gravy; stirring constantly. Serve brisket when gravy has thickened.

NOTE: To remove seeds cut tomato in half. Hold it over the sink and gently squeeze with your fingers. The pulp and seeds will begin to loosen and you'll quickly get the hang of it. Rotate tomato half around with your fingers to completely remove pulp and seeds. Repeat with remaining half and then dice.
