Hanukkah brisket recipes that might just rival your bubbe's
Between all the latkes and sufganiyot, you'll need some non-fried sustenance in your Hanukkah dining routine.
What better food of substance on a Jewish holiday than brisket? Braised, roasted, beer-soaked, smoked and beyond, brisket should be your protein of choice during all eight days of festivities. Here's how to make meat so good and tender, even your bubbe will be proud.
