Member's Mark Prime Whole Beef Brisket, priced per pound is best prepared using moist or dry heat. It becomes tender and savory with long, slow cooking or braising. Slow smoking with aromatic mesquite, apple or hickory wood is a favorite cooking method of barbecue restaurants. Once smoked, this cut of meat is easily carved into uniform slices.Beer Braised Brisket with Mustard Sauce Recipe:What You'll Need:Prime brisket whole (2-1/2 to 3-1/2 pounds)1 tablespoon olive oil1 teaspoon salt1/2 teaspoon pepper2 large onions, chopped1 bottle (12 ounces) beer or pale aleMustard sauce:1/2 cup Dijon-style mustard2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsleyDirections:Heat oil in large stockpot over medium heat until hot.
