From Cadillac, Michigan, Teri Rasey lets her slow-cooker do most of the work when preparing this brisket flavored with peanuts, soy and zesty seasonings. Ingredients:
1 fresh beef brisket (3 to 4 pounds), cut in half |
3 tablespoons olive oil, divided |
1 cup chunky peanut butter |
2/3 cup soy sauce |
4 teaspoons sesame oil |
1 tablespoon minced fresh cilantro |
1 tablespoon lemon juice |
1 teaspoon garlic powder |
1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes |
1 teaspoon pepper |
1 tablespoon cornstarch |
1 cup water |
1-1/4 cups julienned carrots |
1 medium sweet red pepper, sliced |
1 medium green pepper, sliced |
1/2 cup chopped green onions |
1 cup unsalted peanuts, optional |
hot cooked rice |
Directions:
1. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, brown brisket on both sides in 2 tablespoons olive oil. Transfer meat and drippings to a 5-qt. slow cooker. Combine the peanut butter, soy sauce, sesame oil, cilantro, lemon juice, garlic, pepper flakes and pepper; pour over brisket. Cover and cook on low for 8-9 hours or until meat is tender.
2. Remove brisket and keep warm. Combine cornstarch and water until smooth; stir into cooking juices. Cover and cook on high for 30 minutes or until thickened. Meanwhile, in a large skillet or wok, stir-fry the carrots, peppers and onions in remaining olive oil until crisp-tender. Add peanuts if desired. Stir cooking juices and stir into vegetable mixture.
3. Thinly slice meat across the grain. Place rice on a large serving platter; top with meat and vegetable mixture. Yield: 6-8 servings.
