๐ฅฉ Ingredients:
- 2 1/2 lbs beef brisket
- 2 onions
- 2 cloves
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- Salt, to taste
- Pepper, to taste
- Boiling water
- 3 carrots
- 2 tart apples
- 6 white potatoes
- 2 tbsp sugar
- 1/4 cup catsup (ketchup)

๐ Instructions:
-
Preheat and Brown:
Preheat your oven to a cozy 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Trim excess fat from the beef brisket and brown it on both sides in the Dutch oven. Pour off any drippings, setting the stage for flavor perfection. -
Onion Infusion:
Now, let’s add a touch of magic! Stud the whole onions with a few cloves. Toss them into the Dutch oven along with 1/4 cup brown sugar, salt, and pepper. Stir in boiling water, cover, and let the alchemy begin in the oven for 2 hours. -
Vegetable Symphony:
Uncover and introduce the yams, carrots, apples, white potatoes, and an additional 1/4 cup of brown sugar to the mix. Give it a good stir, re-cover, and let it dance in the oven for another 30 minutes. -
Sauce Elegance:
While the oven does its magic, let’s create a tantalizing sauce. In a saucepan, combine sugar, 1/2 cup brown sugar, catsup (ketchup), cornstarch, and dry mustard. Drain the Mandarin oranges, reserving the liquid. Stir the orange liquid into the sugar mixture and let the sauce come to life over medium heat. Add the Mandarin orange sections for that burst of citrusy bliss. -
Saucy Symphony:
Spoon half of this enchanting sauce over the meat in the Dutch oven. Return the meat (still snug in the Dutch oven) to the oven, uncovered, and let it bask in saucy glory for about 30 more minutes. Baste occasionally for an extra layer of flavor. -
Carve and Garnish:
Carve the meat diagonally across the grain and arrange it on a platter surrounded by the heavenly vegetables. Drizzle the remaining hot sauce over the masterpiece. To add the finishing touch, garnish with a generous sprinkle of freshly chopped parsley. -
Serve and Savor:
Your Golden Harvest Beef Extravaganza is ready to steal the spotlight at your fall feast. Dive into a symphony of flavors, where the tender brisket, sweet apples, and savory sauce create a harmonious melody on your palate. ๐ถโจ
๐ Note:
For those who prefer alternative cooking methods, the brisket can also be simmered on the stovetop until tender or cooked in a pressure cooker following the manufacturer’s directions.
Indulge in this culinary masterpiece, and let the Golden Harvest Beef be the centerpiece of your next gathering, creating unforgettable memories and satisfying even the most discerning taste buds. Enjoy the warmth and richness of fall with this remarkable recipe! ๐๐ฝ๏ธ
