Time 3h20m

Yield 8-10

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 (5 -6 lb) beef brisket, rinsed and patted dry
salt
fresh ground pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil
40 large garlic cloves, peeled
1 large sweet onion, thick sliced and separated into rings
1/4 cup red wine
2 1/2 cups beef stock
1 tablespoon tomato paste
2 bay leaves
1 -2 teaspoon dried basil
1/2 teaspoon oregano

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
  • Season brisket liberally on both sides with kosher salt and freshly-ground black pepper.
  • Heat a large skillet(that can be placed in oven)or Dutch oven with a lid over medium-high heat on stove top. Add olive oil to coat the bottom of the pan. Sear both sides of brisket fat-side down first, until golden brown. Remove to a sheet pan.
  • Add garlic cloves and onion rings to the remaining oil in the pan. Cook and stir until garlic begins to turn golden and sweet onions are limp and lightly colored.
  • Add red wine and deglaze the pan by scraping up the browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Add beef stock, tomato paste, bay leaves, basil and oregano. Bring back to a simmer, then turn off heat. Move garlic and onions to the side and return brisket to the skillet. Spoon garlic and onions over the top of the brisket, cover tightly, and place in the oven.
  • Bake for 1 hour at 325 degrees F. Reduce heat to 300 degrees and bake an additional 1 1/2 to 2 hours, or until brisket is fork-tender. Remove brisket to a platter and cover with foil to rest for 10 minutes.
  • Remove half of of garlic cloves and most of onions to a bowl. Skim off excess oil from the pan gravy and discard. Blend pan gravy and remaining garlic until smooth in a food processor. You can add a little cornstarch slurry(cornstarch whisked with a little water) to thicken gravy, by bringing it back to the stove and returning to a boil. Return reserved whole garlic cloves and onions to the gravy.
  • Slice brisket diagonally across the grain. Serve with pan gravy. Enjoy!

Time 5h10m

Number Of Ingredients 8

3-4 lb brisket
3/4 c packed brown sugar
3/4 c chili sauce
3/4 c ketchup
1 envelope onion soup mix
12 oz bottle beer
1 1/2 lb carrots
15 small red potatoes

  • 4. Cover and bake until tender, 4 to 5 hours. Baste occasionally. Let stand 30 minutes after removing from oven.

Tips

  • Choose a quality brisket: Look for a brisket that is well-marbled with fat, as this will help keep the meat moist and flavorful during cooking.
  • Trim the brisket: Remove any excess fat from the brisket, leaving a thin layer of fat on top.
  • Season the brisket: Season the brisket generously with salt, pepper, and your favorite spices. You can also use a commercial brisket rub.
  • Sear the brisket: Sear the brisket in a hot Dutch oven or skillet until browned on all sides. This will help develop flavor and color.
  • Add the liquids: Add beef broth, water, or a combination of both to the Dutch oven. You can also add other liquids, such as beer, wine, or vinegar.
  • Braise the brisket: Cover the Dutch oven and braise the brisket in the oven or on the stovetop until the meat is fall-apart tender. This can take several hours.
  • Let the brisket rest: Once the brisket is cooked, let it rest for at least 30 minutes before slicing and serving. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the meat.

Conclusion

Dutch oven brisket is a delicious and flavorful dish that is perfect for a special occasion or a casual family meal. With a little planning and effort, you can easily make this dish at home. Just be sure to follow the tips above to ensure that your brisket turns out perfectly.
