A good meal makes for great leftovers. Sure, a sit-down Thanksgiving dinner is delicious, but what I really look forward to is a late-night, second piece of pecan pie and/or a breakfast sandwich layered with buttermilk biscuits, sliced roast turkey, cornbread stuffing, shredded Brussels sprouts, and cranberry sauce. If I manage to not completely inhale penne alla vodka for dinner from the hole-in-the-wall Italian restaurant near my apartment, I will count down the hours until it is socially acceptable to reheat and inhale the leftovers. That’s because leftovers are delicious, and leftover beef brisket is no exception.
The tricky thing with leftover meat—whether it’s brisket or beef tenderloin or roast chicken—is that it’s always at risk of drying out when reheated. Not to be dramatic, but there’s nothing worse than spending half a day looking forward to leftovers only to burn or overcook them. We’ll walk you through the best way to reheat brisket so it stays juicy, but we’ll also share some of our go-to leftover brisket recipes. As a note, not all of these ideas for repurposing leftover brisket are kosher, but they are all delicious. Feel free to make tweaks according to any dietary restrictions that you may follow.
