- Serves:

10
ingredients
- 3 -4 lbs beef brisket (from fatty end)
- 1⁄4 cup coriander seed, crushed in a mortar
- 2 tablespoons kosher salt
- 2 tablespoons ground black pepper
- 2 teaspoons smoked paprika
- 1 tablespoon cayenne pepper
- 1⁄4 cup vegetable oil
- 3⁄4 cup brown sugar (packed)
- 1⁄3 cup yellow mustard
directions
- Rinse the brisket under cold water and pat dry. Season with the coriander, salt, pepper, paprika and cayenne.
- Heat the oil in a roasting pan until just smoking. (Make sure area is well-ventilated). Sear the brisket until browned on all sides. Remove to platter, cover, and let stand about 20 minutes.
- Meanwhile, arrange 2 long overlapping sheets of aluminum foil that are large enough to envelop the brisket on a work surface.
- Preheat the oven to 300 deg F.
- Mix the brown sugar and mustard in a small bowl to make a small paste. Rub the brisket with the paste and place on top of the foil sheets.
- Tightly wrap the brisket in the foil so that no mustard paste can escape.
- Place the brisket on a roasting rack set in a roasting pan and cook for 10 hours; when done, a paring knife should pierce the meat with ease. Let cool slightly.
- Unwrap the brisket, slice and serve with mashed potatoes.
- Leftover brisket can be wrapped tightly in plastic wrap and stored in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
- Note: I made this last weekend with beef ribs - just the rub, not the paste. I sectioned the ribs and rubbed with the spice mixture, then threw into the slow cooker for about ten hours on low. Very tender and flavorful. So, another option.

This brisket came out really tender and flavorful. Seasoning blend was spot on, however, I didn’t use all the coriander mix because wasn’t sure if the intent is to use the whole thing, given the amount of salt. I think I used a little more than half. Also, found that it was tender at about 8 hours (used 3.47 lbs brisket), but understand that ovens differ. The flavors in this brisket will make fantastic sandwiches, especially paired with some sliced onion. I don’t know if I’m dreaming or what, but the flavors are very NY to me. Can’t wait to eat the sandwiches tomorrow! Thank you, dyonyte, for sharing! Made it for FYC.

My screen name is a diminutive in Lithuanian for bread, so you won't be suprised to learn that I love to bake bread. In recent years I have been baking a lot of sourdough breads and have several starters sitting in my refrigerator. But I like to cook a lot of other things, as well, especially from various cultures. The cat wishes I would concentrate on meat and fish... I joined a few years ago but started posting recipes and participating in forums just recently - I wish I had done so earlier. Recipezaar is a great community! Right now I am a co-host for the Breads and Baking and the Eastern Europe forums - I hope to see you there!
