Brisket is an economic joint of beef that works best in recipes that specify long slow cooking. I find that using a slow cooker is great if you have one. Beef brisket is usually purchased ready boned and rolled. Since the animal uses its chest muscles all the time, the muscle is firm and would be tough unless cooked slowly.

Here’s how I cook my beef brisket and make it so tender:~Prepare 3 lbs beef brisket, 1 packet dry onion soup mix, 1 crushed clove of garlic, freshly ground black pepper, and 1 oz, 30 g all-purpose flour~Pre-heat oven to 275 degrees F, 135 degrees C~Place the flour inside the roasting bag and shake to cover inside surface~Place meat in bag and add other ingredients. Seal bag and then pierce in a couple of places~Place in roasting tray and cook for 6- 8 hoursIt will give you 6-8 servings perfect for sandwiches.
