I’ve been making this version of Emeril’s beef brisket for my Seder table for years, and can truly say it is the best Passover brisket you will ever eat: moist, perfectly tangy, and sweet with a slight kick.

Making the Dish

01 - 02 Pre-heat & work surface

Thermometer
Flour Bowl

03 Stuff & brown

04 - 05 Remove pan & start onion

07  Enjoy. 

06 Whisk & bake

 Preheat the oven to 500°F. Place the brisket on a work surface. If the fat cap is on the thicker side (1/2 inch) trip off a little of the fat, leaving an even 1/4 -inch layer.

Using a paring knife, make vertical incisions in the meat and shove a piece of garlic into each. Do this until the meat is stuffed with garlic all over. Season both sides with salt and pepper and place the brisket in a large braiser, Dutch oven or rimmed baking dish (preferably metal) starting with the fat cap facing up and brown it in the oven, about 10 minutes per side.

04 - 05

Remove the pan from the oven, and pour in the beef stock (NOTE: if you are using a pyrex dish, wait a few minutes for the pan to acclimate to room temperature so it does not shatter.). Turn the oven down to 350 degrees, cover the dish with a lid or foil, and cook in the oven for 1 hour. In the meantime, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-low heat in a large skillet. Add the onions and sauté, stirring every once in a while, until soft and caramelized, about 30 minutes.
