Ingredients

Brisket

  • 4-5 pounds beef brisket
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 4 teaspoons black pepper
  • 4 teaspoons Jamie Geller Harissa
  • 8 small onions halved
  • 2 large carrots sliced
  • 1 bunch celery coarsely chopped

Charif (Spicy) Sauce

  • 2 cups parsley
  • 3 green chilis
  • 5 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

Sandwich

  • Red onion thinly sliced
  • Sliced tomato
  • Ciabatta or sourdough rye bread

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 320°F.
  • In a spice grinder, combine salt, black pepper and harissa and blend well.
  • Season the Brisket generously from all sides with fresh spice mix.
  • Place the Brisket fat side up in a large casserole or deep baking tray.
  • Spread the vegetables evenly on the remaining space.
  • Add two cups of water and cover completely with aluminum foil.
  • Braise the brisket for at least 3 hours.
  • After 3-4 hours you can test if the brisket is tender by piercing it with a fork.
  • If there is no tough resistance, it should be soft, then it is ready.
  • Let the Brisket rest for 45 minutes in the turned off oven still covered.
  • Meanwhile, for the sauce, combine parsley, chilis, lemon juice, salt, and olive oil in a blender and blend until smooth.
  • To assemble the sandwich choose your favorite bread, smear some Charif Sauce on it and top it with a generous amount of sliced Brisket and baked vegetables. Add some fresh red onion and tomatoes to cut the fattiness of the Brisket. Slice in half and enjoy.
