Ingredients

Brisket

  • 5 lb brisket roast flat cut
  • 2 tablespoon paprika
  • 2 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon chili powder
  • 1 tablespoon dry mustard
  • 2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 ½ cups beef stock

Cranberry onion jam

  • 1 tablespoon oil
  • 3 sweet onions chopped
  • juice and zest of 1 orange
  • 2 sprigs thyme
  • 12 oz fresh cranberries
  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Combine seasonings for brisket (paprika - onion powder). Rub seasonings on the brisket, making sure to cover every surface. Place brisket fat side up on a roasting pan and roast uncovered for 1 hour.
  • Reduce heat to 300 degrees F. Add beef stock and enough water to yield about ½ inch liquid in the roasting pan. Cover brisket and continue to roast for about another 3 hours or until brisket is fork tender.
  • Meanwhile, prepare the jam. Heat 1 tablespoon in a medium-low saute pan over medium heat. Add chopped onions and saute until caramelized, about 20 minutes. Add a small amount of water if the pan becomes too dry. Add remaining ingredients (orange - vinegar) and continue to cook until cranberries soften and the jam becomes syrupy. Remove from heat.
  • Slice brisket and serve with jam.
