Alekto 15 Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 Happy New Year everyone! My first outdoors cook of the year as my day off has finally managed to be bright and dry - and brisket has just gone onto a 25% off promotion at work! London's in lockdown so even though I grabbed the smallest brisket in the delivery, I'm still going to have a *lot* of leftovers as there's just the two of us. As you can imagine, I'm looking for inspiration as to what I can do with those leftovers beyond the ubiquitous sandwiches and chili... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
willys1 42 Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 Beef stroganoff is always good. My last leftover dish was to add it to my favorite French onion soup recipe... outstanding! Alekto 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JohnnyAppetizer 231 Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 GF's sister in law makes Brunswick stew with a pound of chopped up brisket added to the usual suspects. Really good addition. Brunswick stew - Wikipedia Alekto 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
350Al 4 Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 I had the same problem last week. I made a Vietnamese Pho that I've made often and put the brisket in it along with the shaved beef. I use a variation I've developed of this recipe: https://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/quick-beef-pho-7112948 I find simmering it longer, 2-4 hours depending on how much time I have brings out the flavours even more.

Alekto 15 Posted Monday at 08:41 AM Author Share Posted Monday at 08:41 AM I ended up taking the leftovers into work for my colleagues to try - the tray was emptied in less than 30 minutes! JeffieBoy 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

keeperovdeflame 10,077 Posted Wednesday at 08:46 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 08:46 PM I have several favorite ways to use left over brisket. 1. slivered brisket mixed with tomatoes and green onions and diced potatoes in scrambled eggs for breakfast. 2.Grilled Cheese sandwich with a filling of slivered brisket and some good BBQ sauce 3. Brisket with a hearty red sauce over any kind of pasta. 4.Brisket street tacos with guac, cilantro, pico, and some Serrano chilies 5. Brisket sandwich on fresh baked sour dough. 6. Slivered brisket added to Cowboy pinto beans with a variety of chillies. Alekto 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Alekto 15 Posted Thursday at 08:39 AM Author Share Posted Thursday at 08:39 AM Thanks for all the great suggestions. I'm not going to stop cooking a brisket joint just because we're in lockdown, so having a variety of ways for us to enjoy it afterwards is really useful, Quote Link to post Share on other sites
KamadoChris 169 Posted Thursday at 02:49 PM Share Posted Thursday at 02:49 PM @Alekto Brisket poutine the next day always goes over well here. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
keeperovdeflame 10,077 Posted Thursday at 03:01 PM Share Posted Thursday at 03:01 PM I stumbled on a pic of some Sunday Gravy pasta with slivered brisket. Absolutely delicious way to use leftover brisket. Be sure to use lots of edge cuts with bark for a smokey, savory addition to a rich red sauce. Scott Roberts 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Scott I am not Italian but had an Italian friend who's mom cooked for us growing up. She made pasta every Sunday and called it gravy. Guess it stuck.
