Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
- On a cutting board, mash the garlic and 1/2 teaspoon of the salt together with the flat-side of a knife into a paste. Add the rosemary and continue to mash until incorporated. Put the garlic-rosemary paste in a small bowl and add 2 tablespoons of olive oil; stir to combine.
- Season both sides of the brisket with a fair amount of kosher salt and ground black pepper. Place a large roasting pan or Dutch oven over medium-high flame and coat with the remaining olive oil. Put the brisket in the roasting pan and sear to form a nice brown crust on both sides. Lay the vegetables all around the brisket and pour the rosemary paste over the whole thing. Add the wine and tomatoes; toss in the parsley and bay leaves. Cover the pan tightly with aluminum foil and transfer to the oven. Bake for about 3 to 4 hours, basting every 30 minutes with the pan juices, until the beef is fork tender.
- Remove the brisket to a cutting board and let it rest for 15 minutes. Scoop the vegetables out of the roasting pan and onto a platter, cover to keep warm. Pour out some of the excess fat, and put the roasting pan with the pan juices on the stove over medium-high heat. Boil and stir for 5 minutes until the sauce is reduced by 1/2. (If you want a thicker sauce, mix 1 tablespoon of flour with 2 tablespoons of wine or water and blend into the gravy).
- Slice the brisket across the grain (the muscle lines) at a slight diagonal. Serve with potato pancakes.
- Using a box grater or food processor, coarsely grate the potatoes and onions. Put the grated potatoes and onions together in cheesecloth or a tea towel and twist it to squeeze out the excess liquid. Put the dry potatoes and onions in a bowl and season with salt and pepper. Fold in the egg whites and chives to bind the mixture together.
- Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat and coat with 1/4-inch of oil. For each pancake, take about 2 tablespoons of the potato mixture and drop into the hot oil; gently flatten with a spatula so they fry up thin and crispy. Fry for 3 to 4 minutes on each side, until golden. Remove to paper towels to drain; season with salt while the potato pancakes are still hot. Continue frying, adding more oil as needed, until all of the mixture is used up. Serve immediately with apple sauce, if desired.

BEST BEEF BRISKET RECIPE BY TASTY
Whether you're celebrating Hanukkah or preparing a special Sunday meal, this slow-cooked, super juicy brisket is like hitting the dinner jackpot. Though refrigerating your cooked meat overnight is optional, it's a must here at Tasty. A well-rested brisket ensures beautiful, thin, flavorful slices (if you sliced it right out of the oven, the meat would completely fall apart). Serve the brisket with roasted vegetables and the reduced braising liquid for an extra mouthwatering moment.

Steps:
- Turn the broiler on high.
- Set the brisket in a large roasting pan. Season generously on all sides with 1½-2 tablespoons of salt and ground black pepper to taste.
- Turn the brisket fat-side up and broil for 12-15 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fat cap, until there is no white fat remaining. Flip and broil for another 5-6 minutes on the second side, until browned.
- Preheat the oven to 275˚F (135°C).
- In a large bowl, stir together the beef stock, tomato purée, red wine vinegar, honey, paprika, garlic powder, and cumin until well combined.
- Make a bouquet garni: Fold a 6-inch square piece of cheesecloth in half and lay the thyme, bay leaves, and whole black peppercorns in the center. Fold the sides of the cheesecloth over the herbs and roll up to resemble a cigar. Tie with 3 2-inch pieces of twine to secure.
- If the roasting pan fits on the stovetop, remove the brisket from the pan and set aside. Place the roasting pan on the stovetop and add the olive oil to the rendered beef fat in the pan. Heat over medium-high heat until shimmering. (Alternatively, remove the brisket from the roasting pan and pour any rendered beef fat into a large pot. Add the olive oil and heat over medium-high heat until shimmering.) Add the onions and carrots and season with the remaining teaspoon of salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are soft and translucent, 6-8 minutes. Deglaze the pan with the red wine, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom.
- If using the roasting pan, spread the vegetables in an even layer and place the brisket, fat-side up, on top. (If using a separate pot, transfer the vegetables back to the roasting pan, spread in an even layer, and place the brisket on top.) Pour the beef stock mixture over the brisket and nestle the bouquet garni into the vegetables. Cover the pan with heavy-duty aluminum foil.
- Transfer the roasting pan to the oven and bake for 5-6 hours, until a fork can be easily inserted into the thickest part of the brisket.
- Remove the roasting pan from the oven and let cool for about 1 hour at room temperature, then transfer to the refrigerator to chill overnight. Resting overnight is optional, but recommended. (The brisket should rest, covered, for a minimum of 1 hour before slicing; however, the meat will be very tender and fall apart easily).
- The following day, preheat the oven to 200˚F (95°C). Set a wire rack over a baking sheet.
- Remove the brisket from the braising liquid and transfer to the wire rack. Cover with aluminum foil. Transfer the brisket to the oven and bake for about 1 hour, until warmed through.
- While the brisket is warming, make the sauce. Remove the bouquet garni from the braising liquid and scoop the solidified fat from the surface (it's okay if you don't get it all; you will skim the sauce as it simmers). Strain the vegetables from the braising liquid and set aside.
- Transfer 3 cups of the braising liquid to a large, high-walled skillet. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 35-40 minutes, stirring occasionally, and skimming the fat that rises to the surface, until reduced by about half. Transfer to a gravy boat or medium bowl.
- When ready to serve, thinly slice the brisket against the grain. Serve with the vegetables and reduced braising liquid.
- Enjoy!

Tips:
- Choose the Right Cut of Beef: Select a brisket that is well-marbled with a thick layer of fat on top. This will help keep the meat moist and flavorful during cooking.
- Season Liberally: Rub the brisket generously with a flavorful spice rub. This will help create a delicious crust and enhance the taste of the meat.
- Slow and Low Cooking: Cook the brisket at a low temperature for a long period of time. This will allow the collagen in the meat to break down, resulting in a tender and succulent brisket.
- Braise or Smoke: You can either braise the brisket in a liquid or smoke it over wood chips. Both methods will produce a delicious and flavorful brisket.
- Rest Before Serving: Once the brisket is cooked, let it rest for at least 30 minutes before slicing and serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful brisket.
