Steps:
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Season both sides of brisket with salt and pepper. Place a roasting pan across 2 burners on medium-high. Heat 3 tablespoons oil in pan. Add brisket; sear until browned, 4 to 5 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate.
- Reduce heat to medium. Add onion and minced garlic to pan; cook, stirring often, until onion is soft, about 4 minutes. (Add more oil to pan if needed.) Stir in tomato paste, and cook for 1 minute more. Stir in wine, and cook, scraping any browned bits from bottom of pan.
- Add stock and bay leaves, and bring to a boil. Add the brisket to the pan, and cover with foil. Transfer to oven, and roast until meat is very tender, about 2 hours. Flip meat over. Add head of garlic. Cover, and roast for 30 minutes more.
- Add remaining vegetables to brisket, cover, and roast until meat and vegetables are tender, about 1 hour. Transfer vegetables and garlic to a platter and meat to a cutting board, reserving pan sauce. Tent meat with foil; let rest.
- Let sauce stand in pan for 15 minutes, then skim fat from top. Place pan across 2 burners over medium-high heat; cook until sauce is reduced by slightly more than half, about 20 minutes. (You should have about 2 cups.) Stir in vinegar.
- Thinly slice brisket against the grain. Arrange slices on a platter with the vegetables. Season with pepper, and drizzle with some sauce. Serve immediately with remaining sauce.
SLOW COOKED BRISKET WITH BROWN SUGAR, CARROTS AND GREMOLATA
There are two distinct parts of brisket, the first and second cuts. The first cut is very lean, and the second loaded with beautiful (fat) marbling. This makes cooking a "whole" brisket a felony. It's like cooking a small and large potato in the same oven, for the same amount of time, and expecting them both to be perfectly cooked. Brisket falls under the category of "butcher's cuts" that were prized and taken home more by the butcher than the customers. That said, adjust your cooking time for slightly shorter with the leaner pieces and slightly longer with the more "marbled" ones. This is a simple recipe with a good thickening trick at the end-and don't be scared: gremolata is just a fancy word for garlic, parsley and lemon...

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Cook the brisket: Tie the circumference of the brisket with butcher's twine. In a large Dutch oven or other wide heavy pot, heat the oil over medium-high heat. When the oil begins to smoke lightly, sprinkle both sides of the brisket with salt and pepper. Use metal tongs to add the meat to the pot. If the oil is hot enough, the meat won't stick. Cook, undisturbed, on its first side, until browned, 3 to 5 minutes. Turn on the other side and brown, 3 to 5 additional minutes. Remove the meat from the pot and place it on a baking sheet.
- Cook the vegetables: Lower the heat to medium. In the same pot add the shallots, garlic and carrots and sprinkle them with another pinch of salt. Brown for 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in the sugar and vinegar and simmer over very low heat until the liquid reduces and starts to coat the carrots, 3 to 5 minutes. Pour the vegetables and cooking liquid into a bowl.
- Cook the meat: Return the brisket to the pot and add the beef stock. Bring the stock to a gentle simmer. Cover, then place the pot in the center of the oven and cook for 1 hour. Remove the pot from the oven and add the vegetables and their liquid back in. Return the pot to the oven, uncovered, and cook until the meat is tender when pierced with a fork, an additional 1 to 2 hours. (If the meat looks dry or begins to get overly browned, cover the pot with the lid or a layer of aluminum foil for the remaining oven time.)
- Make the gremolata: In a small skillet, toast the coriander seeds in 1 teaspoon olive oil until lightly colored and fragrant. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine the parsley, garlic, lemon zest and juice and a generous pinch of salt. Add the coriander seeds warm, straight from the skillet. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil, then stir and set aside.
- Finish: Remove the pot from the oven and allow it to rest for 10 to 15 minutes. Meanwhile, blend half the cooking liquid and half of the remaining vegetables in a blender until smooth, then pour back into the pot. Whisk in the mayonnaise and mustard. Taste for seasoning. Slice the meat against the grain. (It should be fork-tender without being dry.) Transfer the meat and the remaining vegetables to a serving platter Pour the sauce over the meat. Serve with the gremolata.

Tips:
- Choose the right cut of brisket. Look for a brisket that is well-marbled with fat, as this will help to keep it moist during the cooking process. The best cuts of brisket for braising are the flat cut and the point cut.
- Brown the brisket before braising. This will help to develop flavor and color in the meat. To brown the brisket, heat a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the brisket and cook, turning occasionally, until it is browned on all sides.
- Use a good braising liquid. The braising liquid is what will flavor the brisket, so it is important to use a flavorful liquid. Some good options include beef broth, red wine, or a combination of both. You can also add aromatics such as onions, carrots, garlic, and herbs to the braising liquid for extra flavor.
- Cook the brisket low and slow. This is the key to tender, fall-apart brisket. Braise the brisket in the oven at a low temperature (250 degrees Fahrenheit) for at least 3 hours, or until the meat is fork-tender.
- Let the brisket rest before serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, making it even more tender and flavorful. Let the brisket rest for at least 15 minutes before carving and serving.
Conclusion:
Braised brisket is a classic comfort food and a perfect dish for a special occasion. With its tender, fall-apart texture and delicious flavor, brisket is sure to be a hit with your family and friends. Follow these tips for making the best braised brisket:- Choose a well-marbled cut of brisket.
- Brown the brisket before braising.
- Use a flavorful braising liquid.
- Cook the brisket low and slow.
- Let the brisket rest before serving.
