Rhonda’s Braised Brisket

A memorable Braised Brisket that does not take all day.

Everyone has a favorite go-to recipe for special occasions. This Braised Brisket Recipe was clearly everyones favorite when visiting my Dad and Step-Mom. I have only had to make a slight adjustment to low-carb this multi-generational family fav.

Warning 1: It is one of those dishes that you’ll find really hard to eat just one serving.

Warning 2: This is NOT and everyday deal as it takes a full 5 hours in the oven to deliver its full potential fall-apart-ness.

Still not bad for a brisket as many people going for the BBQ smoker variety will be at it all-day… like 12-24 hours. Maybe this summer I will give that a go too. In the meantime, get started at around 1pm so you can eat at a normal hour.

Went for a 1.5 hour bike ride all the way to Massachusetts during the first 3 hours of oven time on this Braised Brisket so the day was not a total loss! Also, worked off that extra serving I anticipated in advance. As they say up in Mass… “wicked-smaat”

Serve this with a side of buttery magical cauliflower mash to get your macros more in line.

Notes

1. I used red and yellow peppers as that is what I had on hand. May have added a sweetness factor different than green would have. Delicious, none the less.
