  Delicious

  Big thanks to Tom Perini for sharing this recipe. Came out perfectly, and I love the southwest flavors without too much... "heat."Read more

  Middle Island, NY

  I agree with Selden, NY; way too much salt; the meat was tender but the drippings were way too salty even when I cut the salt... in half. Maybe it is a misprint in the receipe and it should have been 2 teaspoons. I discarded most of the sauce and had some extra beef broth so I made a last minute sauce to keep the meat moist. I will try again and almost leave the salt out.Read more

  Incredible Flavor

  Rated: 5 stars out of 5

  This has become my go-to recipe for brisket and EVERYONE raves about it! The only changes I made were to use half beef stock... and half dry red wine for the liquid, and I cut the final roasting time by half an hour, because the meat starts falling apart after 2-1/2 hours. I also let the brisket sit in the refrigerator with the dry rub for at least four hours before putting it in the oven. (Bring it to room temp first!) Serve this with grilled sweet potatoes tossed in a lime vinaigrette, Rachael's butter bean salad, and sweet corn with butter, lime juice and a sprinkling of chipotle chili powder. Just delicious!Read more

  Meat to die for

  Rated: 5 stars out of 5

  My husband shows up with two briskets that found on sale at the store and I told him I had no idea how to cook a brisket. So... he found this recipe and we made it for company. OH MY GOSH. It was at least in the top three pieces of meat I have ever eaten. So delicious and so easy. We've had to play around with the roasting times depending on the size of the roast. Now we crave it and can't wait to find briskets on sale because that somehow makes it seem like cheating! It's just that good.Read more

  Cut the salt

  Rated: 3 stars out of 5

  this recipe was good, but way too salty and I cut the salt to less than half the recipe called for and still it was too... salty. I will try it again but with even less salt. Other than that the meat was tender.Read more

  "Amazing"

  Rated: 5 stars out of 5

  I've never made a Paula recipe before because I don't enjoy her show, but this recipe had so many reviews and I didn't feel... like searching too much. Overall, it came out great! I can't tell how you how many times my husband used the word "amazing". Adjustments: Used brown sugar and doubled to 2 T. Didn't have beef stock, so used 1/2 c of beef au jus concentrate, 1 c water, 1/4 c apple cider vinegar, and 1 t liquid smoke, then added water as needed (2 cups). Also I added two quartered onions and two red potatoes for the first hour, then took them out and added back in for the last half hour. This allowed them to brown without cooking down to nothing. The smell was so good it was almost painful. Try to get out of the house while this is cooking so you don't torture yourself! Note, I suspect some people think this is too salty because they're using normal table salt but I used kosher salt and it came out perfect. Kosher salt has bigger granules, so when you measure by volume it's less intense than fine grain table salt. Read more
