It may take patience to cook beef brisket, but this slow-cooking dish is surely worth the wait. There are many ways to cook a brisket; you can braise, roast, barbeque or smoke it and it’s a great dish to share with the whole family. Although a brisket is a tougher cut of beef, it’s tenderized by leaving on a thin layer of fat and adding liquid during the slow cooking process. As you learn to cook this traditional dish, you can add marinades or dry rubs to create enticing flavors. Prepare to use the all those leftovers for satisfying sandwiches, chili, or try them in a burrito. In this video, Chef Mark leads an online cooking lesson for beef brisket that gives you all the details to prepare your own. For more great cooking demonstration videos, subscribe to the LearnToCookOnline YouTube channel.
