Brisket II

Dry rub with salt, pepper, garlic powder, lemon pepper, cumin, onion soup mix, dried onions, and brown sugar. Cover the meat on both sides with the dry rub and set it aside to marinate for an hour or more.
#chezfrantzman

Make sure you have enough of the dry rub to use at later stages.

Sear the meat on both sides in oil.

In a pot or the same place you seared the meat, place two sliced onions and sauté them with a cup of balsamic vinegar and then add two chopped carrots.

Then add several cups of beef broth, add a half cup of bbq sauce and Worcestershire sauce. Add more brown sugar and onion soup mix and some of the leftover dry rub mix. Add a bit of brown sugar and dash of mustard. Pour this into a deep baking dish.

Poached eggs with asparagus and hollandaise sauce

We begin with the hollandaise prep: Four egg yolks beaten for several minutes; half a cup of butter, a tablespoon of lemon juice; salt and pepper. #chezfrantzman

For the asparagus, place four spears in a bit of water in a pan and turn on high heat or steam them; then after several minutes place them in another pan over medium heat with two shallots, crushed garlic, salt and pepper and butter. Saute them briefly and turn off the heat.

To make the hollandaise we place pot over a second pot to create a double boiler effect with a bit of water in the lower one on low heat. We beat the eggs so they don’t stick, adding melted butter slowly and lemon juice to make sure it doesn’t separate.
