This brisket recipe us for mushroom lovers only. I’m not trying to be a snob or anything, but the magic of this recipe isn’t just those flavor bomb mushrooms that cook alongside the brisket, which will make you wonder how it’s possible for a simple mushroom to be so intensely rich and decadent.

The real secret of this brisket is the mushroom flavor that seeps into the meat! We all know that mushrooms give off lots of liquid when they cook, right? Well, what if I told you that the mushroom liquid gets absorbed by the meat, making it intensely and perfectly mushroom flavored?

Yes, it really is as delicious as it sounds!

(partner) You all know that I have said this before: making a great meat dish starts with a great quality meat. And the best quality kosher meat out there comes from Kosh.com – my favorite source of kosher meat, poultry and even fish and cheese. They sell different meats at different price points, and they ship it anywhere in the USA. The meat arrives perfectly frozen (even when UPS delayed it by a two days!) so it’s especially ideal for those who don’t have great kosher meat where they live.

Mushroom Braised Brisket

Yield: 6-8 servings

Ingredients

1 (2-3) lb brisket, preferably second cut

Rub:

1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon dried mustard
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme

Mushroom Sauce

1 onion, diced
1 teaspoon kosher salt
24 oz cremini (baby Bella) mushrooms, quartered.
2 cups chicken, vegetable or beef broth
2 bay leaves
2 Tablespoons silan or honey

Instructions

Preheat oven to 325.
Prepare rub: Combine all rub ingredients in a small bowl. Rub all over both sides of brisket, covering it entirely.
Heat a small amount of oil in a large, deep frying pan or dutch oven. Sear brisket for 2-3 minutes per side, until a deep brown crust develops. Remove brisket from pan; set aside.
Add onion to frying pan, along with salt. Cook, stirring ocasionally, for about 5 minutes, until softened. Add mushrooms and continue to cook for 10-20 minutes, until the mushrooms have gotten some color. (Longer is better!).
Add broth to pot. Bury bay leaves in the liquid. If using an oven safe pot, place brisket back into the pot and bury it in the mushroom sauce. If not, place brisket in a baking dish and pour the sauce over it. Drizzle silan over the meat.
Bake for about 1 hour per pound, until fork tender. For best results, cool before slicing.

Notes

Plan ahead: This brisket freezes nicely, well wrapped.

Tip: You can use cuts other than a brisket - including a french roast, a chuck eye roast, a minute roast, even flanken.
