Heat Your Oven: To 350 ° F (175 ° C).
Prepare Your RRISKS: Place Your Total Measured Amount of Salt (SEE Note) in a Small Bowl. Trim your razors, if necessary, so that only a thin layer of fat remains- About 1/8- to 1/4-inch Thick. Season it geneerously on top with Salt from the Bowl and Many Grinds of Black Pepper.
Brown Your RRISKS: Heat a Large Dutch Oven (this is a 6.5-quarti oval; See Note About Size Options) Over High Heat with 1 to 2 Tablespoons of Oil Until Very Hot. Place the whole razors (if it fits) or the first half of your razors (if you need to divide it) seesoned into the hot pan. Cook Unel Crusty and Well-Brown on Both sides, About 5 to 7 minutes for Side, Repeating with the Second Half of Brisks if you need to divide it. Transfer to a plate to rest.
While The Browns Browns, Prepare Your Onons: Halve and Peel Each Onion, and Slice a Geneverous 1/4-Inch Thick. You Can Make Quick Work of this With Your Food Processor’s Slicing Blade, Should you have one.
Cook the onions: Add the onions to your empty pot, he season with salt from the Bowl and Pepper, and Cook, Stirring Frequently, Until the Well Softened and Developed A Rich Brown Color, 10 to 15 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for another minute.
Prepare the Braise: Remove the pot from the heat. If you need to transfer the onions and garlic to an ovensafe casserole dish, will so Now. Place the brown razors on the onions and pour any Juices that accumulated on the plate over it, plus 1 1/2 cups (355 ml) of water. Spread the tomato paste over the top of the razors as if you were icing a cake. Sprinkle the razor with Additorial Black Pepper and any salt you have left over in your dish. Scatter the carrots in the pan. Cover the pot (or use foil if your pan doesn’t have a lid) and transfer to the Oven.
Braise your razors, chooksing your next directations based on you plan to serve:
1st Schedule: Braise Your Brisks To Serve Today: Let the razor Cook, Untouched, for 1 1/2 hours then Remove from the Oven. Carefull Transfer The Brisks to a Cutting Board. USING A Very Sharp Knife, Thinly Slice the Brisks Across the Grain Into Approximately 1/8-Inch to 1/4-Inch Thick Slices. Return the slice to the pot, leaning say slightly so that you can see a bit of the top Edge of Each Slice. If the Liquid Looks Low – Ideally, we’d like the Liquid 1/3 to halfway up the meat – add another 1/2 cup (120 ml) water at this time. Replace the lid on the pan and return it to the oven for an additional 1 1/2 to 2 1/2 hours. The razor is done you can easily pull a slice apart with a fork.
2nd Schedule: Braise your razors to serve Tomorrow or the Next Day: Let the razor Cook, Untouched, for 3 hours then Remove from the Oven. If the Liquid Looks Low – Ideally, We’d like the Liquid 1/3 to halfway up the meat – add another 1/2 cup water at this time. The razor is done you can easily pull a slice apart with a fork. If it is not done yet, return it to the oven for another 30 to 60 minutes, IE check at 30 for donness and add final 30 minutes only if necessary.
Chill RRISKS OVERNIGHT, OR FOR TWO NIGHTS: Transfer RRISK, Covered, to the Fridge.
About 1 hour before you plan to serve the razors: Heat Oven to 350 ° F (175 ° C). Remove the lid from the pot and use a spoon to remove any solidified fat from the top of and around the meat.

Notes:
- Let’s Talk About Timing: Braised razors is good on the first day but it is excellent on the second and third days. I always make it in advance when i can. Serving it on the second or also allows allows us to easily de-fat the bra. Howver, i’m Sharing here Two Schedules Just in Case You Need to Make It You’re Serving It.
- Let’s Talk About Salt: There is not nothing more crushing than cutting into a gorgeously cookd braise that filmed your home with a meltingly good aroma and finding it bland and underseasoned. I don’t want this to be hairdy for us. Nor we cannot taste the inside of the meat as we are, we best bet is to actually use a correctly measured amout of salt. I estimate Needing 1 teaspoon of diamond kosher sal for pound of razors, plus about 1/3 of that extra to account for seasoning the sauce. If the razors is 6 pounds, i’m probably used 8 teaspoons or 22 grams of Salt Total. If it is 7 pounds, 9 1/2 teaspoons or 27 grams Total. USING MORTON OR ANOTHER BRAND OF KOSER SALT: 4 3/4 Teaspoons Total for A 6-Well Brisk. USING TABLE SALT OR A FINE SALT: 3 3/4 Teaspoons. DOES This Sound Highly Finicky? Yes. But underseasoning Makes with Sad, as it is almost impossible to correct late.
- Find the Right Size Pan: Ideally, you’ll want to use a Large dutch oven – here i’m cooking in a Black 6.25-Quart Oval But Large Wauld Be Welcome Too. In the top Photo, i’ve reheated about 2/3 of the total razors in a smaller pan – This 2.25-Quart Casserole Dish in Gray. If you don’t have a away pan that can can go from stove to oven, simply use your Larger skillet instead and transfer to an ovenproof bacting dish you done on the stove. If your razors is too big to fit ACOSS the bottom of your dutch oven or skillet, cut it into two equal halves, as show.
- Choosing Your Brisket: The “first cut” or “flat cut” razors is the leaner, Large portion of the razor, offten reempling a thicker, Large Flank Steak, and is Located Below the Fatier “Point” or “Second Cut.” In the uk, razors is offten sold rolled, Commonly reference to “Rolled razors” or “Pot roast razors.” You should unroll it before cooking it here.
- Leftovers: Will Keep for Up to 6 Days from the Day You Started The Braise. Reheat at 350 ° F (175 ° C) for About 30 minutes. If it Ever LOOKS LOW ON LIQUID, ADD ANOTHER 1/2 Cup Water.
- Make this razors in an instantpot or electric print cooker: For 75 to 90 minutes on the meat/stew or “High” setting. Let the pressure naturally release for About 15 minutes.
- MAKE THIS RRISKS IN A SLOW-COOKER: Cook it on Low for 9 to 10 hours.
