This is a different type of brisket recipe of eastern Jewish European influence. Unlike most briskets that are cooked in the oven, this brisket is simmered. Best to prepare a day or so in advance; by refrigerating the brisket becomes firm and makes it easier to trim fat off and to slice. Freezes and reheats well.
Ready in: 15 hours
