New Orleans Boiled Brisket-La Bouille - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 beef brisket
water, to cover

Preparation

Choose a pot that will adequately contain the brisket and, having chosen one that will accommodate it without folding it, add water to cover.
Bring to a boil.
Reduce heat and simmer for 3 to four hours (it will be remarkably tender, but shy enough not to fall apart).
Remove from the water, allow to stand 15 minutes, then slice.
Put into an adequate serving dish and add the resulting broth from boiling to cover at least 1/2 the level of the meat.
