I love having leftover cooked protein in my fridge. My sister’s brisket is super delicious. I’m even more stoked that I also have a 3-pound portion of it frozen in my freezer.

I decided to serve the leftover brisket with some stove-top braised cabbage.

I nuked the leftover brisket and then I plated some on top of the cabbage and some shredded carrots.
