Braising Guidelines

Less tender cuts such as those from the round, chuck, brisket and shank require moist cooking. A longer cooking time at lower temperatures with moisture helps soften the meat.

1.Brown meat with a small amount of oil in heavy pan.

2.Pour off excessive drippings, season, if desired.

3.Add small amount of liquid (1/2 to 2 cups) and cover tightly.

•Simmer gently over low heat on top of the range or in a 325°F oven, until meat is fork tender.
