Cooking beef is definitely not my expertise, but my friend Rickey Gold sends this recipe for beef brisket with enough detail that I just may give it a whirl! Rickey notes that you may leave out the potatoes if you are serving this dish for Passover
:) Here we go!Tips
Buy “first cut” beef brisket.
6 lbs. feeds approximately 8-9 people.
Figure 1 hr/lb in 325 degree oven
Ingredients6 large carrots, sliced
3 large baking potatoes, peeled and cut into quarters
1 bottle chili sauce
1/2 cup barbecue sauce
1 pkg Lipton Onion Soup mix
salt, pepper
Directions
-Preheat oven to 325.
-Put carrots and potatoes into roasting pan.
-Season with salt and pepper to taste.
-Place brisket on top of vegetables.
-Mix 1-1/2 cups water with Lipton Onion Soup mix and pour over brisket.
-Roast uncovered for about an hour to brown, basting a few times.
-After one hour, pour bottle of chili sauce over top and continue to roast but cover with foil.
-Uncover and baste with gravy from bottom of pan once or twice. At end of hour, baste again.
-Pour barbecue sauce over top and recover.
-Continue to roast until done (for 6 lbs, that means approximately 4 more hours), basting periodically.

Important Tip from Rickey:"Make sure to slice on the diagonal or the meat will be tough and stringy.
I've thrown out a few before I learned how to do this!"
