This is the best brisket you will ever taste.  No matter who comes for dinner, they always make sure that I'll be making this brisket.  It is a very traditional dish for Rosh Hashanah and Passover but it certainly is a winner any time of the year for anyone who loves very tender beef.

Jewish Style Sweet and Sour Brisket

Heat brisket in a large skillet or dutch oven over medium-high heat. Cook until browned on all sides. Stir in water, ketchup, vinegar, onions, garlic, brown sugar, and salt. Bring to a boil, then cover and reduce heat to medium-low. Continue simmering until tender, turning brisket occasionally, 2 hours and 30 minutes to 3 hours and 30 minutes.


Remove brisket and allow to cool before slicing the meat against the grain. Place brisket slices in a 9x13 inch baking pan or large platter and pour gravy on top. Cover and refrigerate overnight. Remove any excess fat and reheat before serving.


AMAZING!!!! I did do some things different. I let it come to a boil then I put into a baking dish with a lid and put it into the oven at 325 degrees for 2 1/2 hours.  I also added Lipton onion soup mix on top and instead of white vinegar I used apple cider vinegar.  I also added carrots.  It came out delicious, and I will be making this again and again!  thank you :)

Simple, delicious, made it as the recipe was posted. Note: A cast iron dutch oven + the vinegar in the recipe can cause the meat to have an "off" taste. This is better suited for a ceramic slow cooker.

I enjoyed this quite a bit. I'm a tough scorer, so 3 stars for me is pretty good. I don't understand the sitting in the fridge overnight though. In theory it must be to absorb more flavor, but I found it to be opposite. It tasted better to me fresh off the stove than refrigerated till the next day.  I made a large enough brisket were it lasted 3 days for leftovers (I'm the only meat eater in the house besides my dogs LOL).

Dear god. I'm not much of a chef, but this was the best  thing in the world. Simmered that  for probably 3.5 hours, and the 8 people at our super Jewish Seder party loved the hell out of it. Such a simple recipe and so amazing. Totally making this again pretty much every five minutes for the rest of my life.

Please, please do not drop the salt to 1 tsp.  This is MY recipe and if 55 people gave it 5 stars and it was not too salty for them, my guess is that you bought the wrong brisket.  You CAN NOT buy the corned beef that comes with the spices - you MUST buy fresh, 1st cut brisket from the butcher.  This recipe can be made the same with up to 6+ pounds of brisket with no additional seasoning if you wish.  I made 3 huge briskets for the holiday and had only a morsel left.

This is the best brisket recipe I have made it came out perfect . I froze the leftovers when I used it for suprise guest everone raved and thought i had just made it . I wouldn"t change a thing about this recipe.

I thought this recipe was excellent.  I followed it exactly, except that my brisket was 6lbs, so I added a little more water to the pot. I used homemade spicy ketchup, and raw apple cider vinegar. It was perfectly seasoned, and very tender.  Thanks for a great recipe!  I am saving this one!

I bought an 8 pound brisket & cut it in half.  This gave me a chance to try the recipe twice & have plenty of leftovers as most said that was the only draw back... not enough left over.  Both briskets turned out super and I know this is going to be made again & again.  Thanks for sharing!!!!   Amazingly easy to make.  I made exactly as the recipe was written.

I have made this brisket for the past 2 years for Passover Seder. Both times it has come out beautifully!  Instead of cooking in a pot on the stove I browned the meat in a pan and they placed the meat in a slow cooker for 12 hours on low.  This is perfect because I can start the meat in the morning before work and it is ready when I am ready to have guests over in the evening.  The meat is tangy and sweet.  This is perfect served with Cole-slaw.

Make a Jewish-style brisket that’s sweet, sour, and delicious.
