A Mouthwatering Grilled Veal Brisket Recipe to Try
Today, we're going to explore a delicious recipe that will elevate your grilling game to the next level: Grilled Veal Brisket. This dish is perfect for those sunny afternoons when all you want to do is fire up the barbecue and enjoy a hearty meal.
Ingredients:
For the Brisket:
- 1 veal brisket (about 5-6 pounds)
- Salt and pepper to taste
For the Marinade:
- 1 cup olive oil
- 4 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup of red wine vinegar
- 2 tablespoons of fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1 tablespoon of Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon of salt
- 1/2 teaspoon of freshly ground black pepper
Instructions:
-
Prepare the Marinade: In a bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, red wine vinegar, chopped rosemary, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper. Stir until well mixed.
-
Marinate the Brisket: Place the veal brisket in a large zip-top bag and pour in the marinade. Seal the bag, making sure to remove as much air as possible. Massage the marinade into the brisket, ensuring it's fully coated. Let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 6 hours, but preferably overnight.
-
Prepare Your Grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If you're using a charcoal grill, make sure the coals are white-hot.
-
Grill the Veal Brisket: Remove the brisket from the marinade, allowing any excess to drip off. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
-
Place the brisket on the grill, cover it, and cook for about 30 minutes. Then, flip the brisket and grill for another 20-30 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C) when measured with a meat thermometer.
- Rest and Slice: Remove the brisket from the grill and let it rest for 10-15 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat. Slice against the grain and serve.
Tips for making Veal Brisket
Making a veal brisket can seem intimidating, but with the right tips, it can be done successfully and deliciously. Here are some suggestions:
-
Choose the Right Cut: Make sure to choose a well-marbled veal brisket. Marbling refers to the fat within the meat. It will melt during cooking, giving the brisket its moist and flavorful characteristics.
-
Marinate: Marinating the brisket before cooking can help tenderize the meat and infuse it with flavor. Use a mixture of your favorite herbs, spices, and liquids (like wine or broth). Marinate for at least a few hours, or ideally overnight.
-
Slow Cook: Veal brisket benefits from slow, low-temperature cooking. This allows the connective tissues in the meat to break down, resulting in a tender brisket. You can achieve this by using a slow cooker, or by roasting in the oven at a low temperature over several hours.
-
Braise: Braising involves searing the meat on high heat and then cooking it slowly in a small amount of liquid. This method is great for veal brisket as it keeps the meat moist and tender.
-
Rest the Meat: After cooking, let the brisket rest for at least 15-20 minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, making it more flavorful and juicy.
- Slice Against the Grain: When you're ready to serve, make sure to slice the brisket against the grain. This shortens the muscle fibers and makes the meat easier to chew.
