Tammy's Superlative Brisket

This is SO good! And so easy. And fatty. And Delicious.

1 brisket (maybe 2-3 pounds)
some crushed garlic and ramps (or scallions and garlic greens, or leeks and garlic, or...)
Salt and pepper to taste, a generous sprinkling

Brown the brisket under the broiler, 2-8 minutes per side (watch very carefully, in case your broiler is a 2-minute variety); switch the heat to oven 375f.

Tuck the garlic and ramps under and around the brisket in a dutch oven, and fill with water to 3/4 cover the meat.

Cover the dutch oven, and bake at 375f for 2 hours. Check the water level, and flip the brisket, and recover the pot. Bake for another hour or so, until the brisket is perfectly tender and delicious.

Use the juices as a gravy, and enjoy!
