I normally leave the brisket cooking to Big Guy who does a fabulous job of it on the barbecue but we were watching Pioneer Woman a week ago and I just had to try it her way.
After raiding the freezer for a beautifully trimmed six pound brisket, the defrosted roast hit Ree's marinade of beef consomme, lemon juice, soy sauce, garlic and liquid smoke for the requisite 48 hours followed by a long slow four and a half hour braise - perfect for a lazy Sunday afternoon.
As you can imagine, the moist tender slices seasoned with that incredible "jus" were fabulous along with mashed potatoes and rings of roasted butternut squash for a perfectly special but oh so easy Sunday night dinner.
About the remaining 5.5 pounds, talk about leftovers! Just wait until you see what we'll be doing for the rest of the week. Hit the link above for the recipe and stay tuned for a week of good eats.
Oh wow that looks so good, been trying different recipes for brisket lately and definately will be trying this one, love the idea of soy sauce in the marinade, similar to the balsamic I used in a glaze for a pork rib joint recently.

It is amazing. I was concerned the "jus" would be way to salty to be edible because of the soy sauce but the lemon juice cuts through it just fine. It really is delicious.

The beef looks fork tender and the marinade sounds delish.
