Ingredients:

• 1 beef Brisket Flat Half Boneless (2-1/2 to 3-1/2 pounds)

• 2 tablespoons ground cumin
• 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• Salt and pepper
• 2 tablespoons minced garlic
• 1 cup cran-apple, cranberry or apple juice, divided
• 3 to 4 medium red apples (such as Jonathan, Red Delicious, Jazz or Fuji), cored, cut into 16 wedges each (about 1-1/4 pounds)
• 3/4 cup dried sweetened cranberries
• 2 tablespoons cornstarch

Safe Handling Tips:

• Wash hands with soap and water before cooking and always after touching raw meat.

• Separate raw meat from other foods.
• Wash all cutting boards, utensils, and dishes after touching raw meat.
• Do not reuse marinades used on raw foods.
• Wash all produce prior to use.
• Cook beef until temperature reaches 145°F for medium rare steaks and roasts 160°F for ground beef.
• Refrigerate food promptly.

Cooking:

1. Combine cumin and cinnamon; rub over beef Brisket. Heat oil in stockpot over medium heat until hot. Brown Brisket; season beef with salt and pepper, as desired.

2. Add 3/4 cup juice and garlic to stockpot; bring liquid to a boil. Reduce heat; cover tightly and simmer 2-3/4 to 3-1/4 hours. Add apples and cranberries to stockpot. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer 20 to 25 minutes or until Brisket and apples are fork-tender, stirring, and rearranging apples once during cooking.

3. Remove Brisket; keep warm. Combine remaining 1/4 cup juice and cornstarch; stir cornstarch mixture into apple mixture. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Boil 1 to 2 minutes or until mixture has thickened, stirring frequently.

4. Trim fat from Brisket. Carve diagonally across the grain into thin slices. Season with salt and pepper, as desired. Serve beef with apple mixture.
