Instead of using a crock pot, I use a brownin bag in the oven. 225 for 6 to 8 hrs acording to how big the brisket is. Takes care of all that excessjuice!

Hi Judy, there's always more than one way to skin a cat. You could do this in a pot on the stove, on a tray in the oven, in a smoker, on a grill with a big bowl, etc. I've never used a browning bag and a bit curious. Can you elaborate? I'm intrigued!

Now that recipe, my friend, looks to be an awesome one. We just got a new slow cooker and I am itching to try this one out in it… just as soon as the budget allows me to buy the brisket.

Hi Kim, yes. In fact, it really doesn’t even need THAT. One side of the brisket is always coated with a large layer of fat. I suggest trimming this down to about 1/4 of an inch, but … some should stay. Then, sear it with the fat side down. This will QUICKLY begin to render, creating more than enough fat to sear the whole thing. The 2 tbsp of oil serve as little more than "kindling". I hope this helps! 🙂

Are you searing all 5 pounds of this meat in just 2 T of oil?

Hi Mary, corned beef brisket and beef brisket are both the same cut of beef. However, corned beef brisket has been cured in salts, which kind of dries it out. Then, it is boiled, I believe. Corned beef brisket is a completed "product", made from raw beef brisket. This recipe is using raw beef brisket. It’s a fairly large, flat pieace of meat coming from the chest of a cow. I’d suggest asking your butcher. It has a tendency to be a bit tough, which is why low and slow cooking preparations are so good for it. It breaks it down and makes it soft and yummy. Good luck!

Hi DJ, I want to try this recipe. I’ve got one question: Is there a difference between beef brisket and corned beef brisket? Are they interchangeable? Thanks. And congrats on the Huff Post story!
