When cool, thinly slice the brisket against the grain . It is very important to slice the brisket correctly. If the meat is not sliced against the grain, it will be tough. Serving suggestion: Make gravy with drippings from the meat. Melt 4 tablespoons of parve margarine in a heavy saucepan . Slowly stir in 4 tablespoons of all-purpose flour (use potato starch instead of flour during Passover). Cook and stir for approximately 3 minutes, or until margarine just starts to darken. Slowly stir in 2 cups of drippings. Continue cooking and stirring until the gravy thickens to desired consistency. Season with salt and pepper . Pour some of the gravy over the sliced brisket, and serve the remainder alongside.
