Ingredients
  

  • pounds beef brisket
  • 1 cup worcestershire sauce
  • 1 cup mango chutney
  • 1 cup ketchup
  • ½ cup mustard
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 4 large carrots, peeled and chopped

Equipment

  • Oven
  • Mixing Bowl
  • Baking Sheet
  • Chef's Knife
  • Peeler
  • Frying Pan

Method
 

  1. First, preheat your oven to 350℉. This is vital for achieving the perfect texture, ensuring the brisket gets that beautiful roast.
  2. Next, place the beef brisket, fat side up, in a roasting pan. This positioning allows the fat to baste the meat, keeping it juicy and flavorful.
  3. In a medium bowl, mix together the worcestershire sauce, mango chutney, ketchup, and mustard. This marinade infuses the brisket with remarkable flavor.
  4. Pour this mixture over the brisket, ensuring it’s well-coated. It’s this step that’ll give you that delicious glaze!
  5. Sprinkle the chopped onions on top of the brisket. As they cook, they’ll become irresistibly sweet.
  6. Now it’s time to bake! Place the brisket in the oven and bake for one hour, uncovered. This initial roasting helps develop a crust.
  7. After the hour, remove it from the oven and sprinkle the carrots around the brisket. Cover the pan tightly; this is essential as it helps to retain moisture.
  8. Return it to the oven and bake for an additional three hours. Low and slow is the name of the game here. You want that brisket to be tender and flavorful.
  9. Once it's done, remove it from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes. This resting period is key for juicy slices. Cut away the fat with a sharp knife and discard.
  10. Finally, slice against the grain and serve warm. Each slice should be tender and bursting with flavor, perfect for pairing with your favorite sides.

Notes
