Tips and Substitutions

- Asparagus: If you do not like asparagus, swap it with Brussels sprouts or broccoli.
- Thyme: You can also replace time with rosemary instead.
- Oven: Ensure that the oven is preheated for at least ten minutes before cooking the meat, as this will ensure that it cooks evenly and within the given time.
Recipe FAQs
Unlike most meats, cooked beef brisket can last a little while in storage. For about four days, you can keep it in an airtight container in the fridge. Asparagus can also last in an airtight container in the refrigerator. If you want to freeze either of these things, wrap them in foil or a freezer bag to store them for one month.
