There is lots to love about a good smoked brisket but don’t go dissin’ the slow oven cooked brisket my Bubby would make for the holidays … with lots of garlic, onions, carrots, tomatoes, celery, a few spices … best sliced fairly thin before completely done to sit in the juices and then finished off cooking to falling apart softness the next day. Heaven.

Brisket, beef short ribs, and chuck eye all lend themselves to low, long cooking methods, either braising or smoking. None of these are good for high heat, dry cooking, like one would a sirloin or top round roast.
