Question: can you boil a brisket?
Answer: METHOD: Place the trimmed brisket in a large dutch oven with enough water to cover by 3 inches. ... Bring to a rolling boil, reduce to a low boil and cook 2 1/2-3 hours or until brisket is tender at the thickest part. The meat is fully cooked when the fibers begin to loosen and a fork can be inserted easily into the meat.
