Description:
Looking for the perfect pairing to your latkes? Look no further than this succulent “Things Go Better With Coke” Brisket recipe! A traditional delicatessen-style roast of beef, brisket shines when slow-cooked to tender perfection. If your local supermarket doesn’t stock brisket, simply request it from your friendly neighborhood butcher or explore the selection at a kosher meat market.
Ingredients:
- 1 beef brisket
- 2 onions
- 1 celery stalk
- 1 teaspoon salt
- Crushed garlic
- 2 tablespoons paprika
- 2 cups ketchup
- 2 cups hot water
Instructions:
-
Preheat Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures that your brisket cooks evenly and thoroughly.
-
Prepare Brisket: Place the beef brisket in a large roasting pan, ensuring it fits comfortably. Coat the brisket generously with oil, ensuring that it’s covered on all sides.
-
Add Aromatics: Sprinkle the sliced onions and celery evenly over the brisket. These aromatic vegetables will infuse the meat with delightful flavors as it cooks.
-
Season: Sprinkle the brisket with salt, pepper, and paprika, evenly distributing the seasonings for maximum flavor.
-
Garlic Infusion: Spread the crushed garlic over the top of the brisket, allowing it to meld with the other flavors during the cooking process.
-
Prepare Sauce: In a separate bowl, mix together the ketchup, hot water, and any additional seasonings or dry mixes you desire, ensuring that they dissolve completely. The cola can also be added at this stage, enhancing the sweetness and depth of flavor in the sauce.
-
Pour Sauce Over Brisket: Once the sauce is well combined, pour it evenly over the brisket, ensuring that every inch is covered in the delectable mixture.
-
Roasting: Cover the roasting pan with foil, sealing in the flavors and moisture. Place the pan in the preheated oven and roast for 2 1/2 to 3 hours.
-
Baste Regularly: Every 20-30 minutes, carefully remove the foil and baste the brisket with the juices from the pan. This ensures that the meat remains moist and flavorful throughout the cooking process.
-
Serve: Once the brisket is tender and cooked to perfection, remove it from the oven. Allow it to rest for a few minutes before slicing it thinly against the grain.
-
Optional: Reheat in Gravy: If you’re not serving the brisket immediately, you can slice the entire roast and reheat it in the gravy the next day for extra tender and flavorful slices. Simply place the sliced brisket in a baking dish, cover it with gravy, and reheat in a 350°F (175°C) oven for approximately 30 minutes.

Tips and Tricks:
- For extra flavor, marinate the brisket in the sauce overnight before cooking. This allows the meat to absorb the flavors more deeply, resulting in a richer and more delicious dish.
- If you prefer a spicier kick, add a dash of hot sauce or red pepper flakes to the sauce mixture before pouring it over the brisket.
- Don’t rush the cooking process. Low and slow is the key to achieving tender, melt-in-your-mouth brisket. Allow plenty of time for the meat to cook slowly and develop its flavors fully.
- Serve the brisket with your favorite side dishes, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a crisp green salad, for a complete and satisfying meal.
