Re: What did you last eat, post pictures…
The liquids won’t completely dry… it will naturally reduce but you’ll have a good amount of sauce (which is precisely what you want!) Now this might be a controversial opinion but take it for what it is… I don’t consider round to be a good substitute for brisket. Why you ask? Well it’s all in the meat… round is economical because it lacks the things that make brisket so tasty; very little connective tissue and fat for instance. It’s just much too lean and if you follow the recipe as is you’ll likely end up with meat resembling shoe leather. I mean the other more personal issue with round is that it’s just not going to be a kosher cut… however let’s set that level of semantics aside as you and I are clearly culinary heathens!
Instead can you get chuck roast where you are easily? It’s similar enough to brisket but cheaper and it should work nicely. Watch your times though… it will tenderize faster than a brisket so you’ll need to baby it a bit more and check it more often.
I think I will get the brisket, spending money is never an issue but sometimes the kids dont eat what I cook and the waste bothers me. I totally get the connective tissue and marbling stuff, the release of collagen makes food divine.
