Beef Brisket

Method

Preparation of Brisket

  1. 1

    Season the Brisket

    Rub the beef brisket with salt and black pepper on all sides. Let it sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes to absorb the seasoning.

  2. 2

    Prepare Aromatics

    Peel and quarter the onion. Smash the ginger with the back of a knife. This will help release its flavor during cooking.

Cooking the Brisket

  1. 3

    Combine Ingredients

    In a large pot or slow cooker, add the seasoned brisket, onion, ginger, star anise, cinnamon stick, cloves, fish sauce, and beef broth.

  2. 4

    Slow Cook

    Cover the pot or slow cooker and cook on low heat for about 6-8 hours, or until the brisket is tender and can be easily shredded with a fork.

Serving

  1. 5

    Slice and Serve

    Once done, remove the brisket from the pot and let it rest for about 10 minutes. Slice the brisket against the grain and serve with the broth and your favorite Pho accompaniments.
