I won't rate this for stars, but this was a disaster for me. The brisket did not render any juice. One teaspoon of cornstarch did nothing to thicken the gravy which is really just syrup. I finally used an entire tablespoon of cornstarch and it still was too thin. There was not enough liquid to cook the veggies so I simmered them separately in water. The end result was the meat was chewy and the veggies were overcooked. We wound up getting takeout. Sorry chef, but I did try my best.
