3 to 5 lb. brisket or other cut of boiling beef
Garlic and onion slivers 1 c. vinegar
2 c. strong black coffee
Salt and pepper

Trim meat of fat. With a large knife, cut slits completely through the meat. Place slivers of garlic and onion in each slit. Place in dish and pour 1 cup vinegar over meat. Be sure the vinegar goes into the slits. Put in refrigerator and leave for 24 to 48 hours. Place in heavy pot and brown on all sides until almost burned. Add 2 cups strong black coffee. Cover and simmer 4 to 6 hours on top of stove. Season with salt and pepper 20 minutes before serving. You may have to add more water during cooking. Add no more than 1 cup at a time. This is a good way to cook an inexpensive cut of beef and it will melt in your mouth.
