Join me in the kitchen for #BrisketWeek!

I’m sharing my go-to brisket recipe, one of the first dishes I helped my grandmother make and a staple at my family’s holiday table for generations. Braised in the oven with fennel and onions, it’s perfectly melting and tender. I like to cook a whole brisket because the fat cap helps to keep it moist and because a whole brisket can feed an army… with leftovers.

What do you do with all those leftovers? I’m glad you asked. I’m making brisket chili, brisket hash with butter-fried eggs, my favorite brisket sandwich with Russian dressing, game day nachos and amazing potato latkes… topped with brisket, of course. It’s not just about cooking the brisket once, it’s about what you do with it for the rest of the week.
