Braised U.S. Beef with Potato Latkes

Ingredients:

·      1 Beef Brisket Flat Half 

·      ¼ cup mayonnaise

·      ¼ cup Dijon-style mustard

·      1 tablespoon steak seasoning blend

·      1 tablespoon minced garlic

·      ½ head cabbage, chopped (about 2-1/2 cups chopped)

·      1 cup chopped onion

·      2 cups beef stock

·      ¼ cup cider vinegar

Latkes:

·      3 russet (baking) potatoes, peeled, shredded and patted dry

·      3 eggs, beaten

·      1 Granny Smith apple, shredded

·      ¼ cup thinly sliced green onions

·      2 tablespoons flour

·      1 tablespoon granulated onion

·      1 tablespoon granulated garlic

·      2 teaspoons salt

·      1 teaspoon ground black pepper

·      ½ cup vegetable oil

·      Green onion, optional

Preparation:

1.      Preheat oven to 177°C. Stir together mayonnaise, mustard, steak seasoning and minced garlic. Coat beef Brisket Flat Half with mixture; place beef in Dutch oven.

2.      Add cabbage, onion, stock and vinegar to Dutch oven. Cover tightly and cook 3-½ hours. Uncover, cook an additional 30 minutes or until beef is fork-tender. Remove roast from oven; keep warm. Once cooled shred beef with two forks.

3.      Combine potatoes, eggs, apple, onion, flour, granulated onion, granulated garlic, salt and pepper in a large mixing bowl, mixing lightly but thoroughly.

Cook's Tip: Squeeze any liquid from shredded potatoes for crispy latkes.

4.      Heat half of oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until hot. In batches, place ¼ cup batter into oil; pressing lightly to flatten. Cook 2 to 3 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crisp. Drain. Repeat with remaining oil and potato mixture.

5.      Top potato latkes with about 1 tablespoon shredded beef. Sprinkle with sliced green onion, if desired.
