P.S – it’s completely free!   If you've been a guest in my home, you already know that I love to put together a great salad.

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!
