Provided by Food Network

Yield 6 to 8 portions

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 fresh beef brisket, about 4 pounds, well trimmed
Salt and pepper to taste
2 tablespoons dry thyme
1 tablespoons dry rosemary
2 tablespoons olive oil
4 large vidalia onions (or other sweets), peeled and sliced, about 4 cups
1 cup dry red wine
3 carrots, thinly sliced, about 1 cup
2 tablespoons chopped garlic
2 cups hot beef stock lightened with 1 cup water added
2 celery stalks tied with 3 bay leaves into a bouquet garni

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
  • Season the beef brisket well with salt and pepper. Crush the thyme and rosemary together with a mortar and pestle and rub the herb mix into the beef, coating it evenly. Rub the beef well with 1 tablespoon of the olive oil.
  • Heat a large saute pan with 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium high heat for 2 to 3 minutes until the pan is nearly smoking. Add the beef to the hot pan and sear well on one side until browned before turning the beef over and searing the other side. When the beef has been well browned on both sides, remove from the pan and set aside.
  • Add the onions to the saute pan and cook them until golden brown. Add the red wine to the onions and reduce by half.
  • Pour the onions into a large heavy roasting pan and spread evenly across the bottom before putting the beef on the bed of onions. Add the carrots, garlic, hot beef/water and celery bundle to the beef in the roasting pan and place, uncovered, into the oven. All the combined liquid should rise only 2/3 as high as the meat is thick. Add additional water to maintain the braising liquid height.
  • Cook for 1 hour before turning the beef over. Cook the second side uncovered for 1 hour before covering the pan with a cover or foil and turning the oven down to 325 degrees. Continue to slowly braise the beef brisket for 1 1/2 to 2 additional hours.
  • Remove the pan from the oven, discard the celery bouquet and allow the beef to rest for 20 minutes before slicing and serving with some of the onion jus.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients, especially the onions. Vidalia onions are known for their mild, sweet flavor, which makes them perfect for risotto.
  • Take your time and cook the onions slowly until they are translucent and caramelized. This will bring out their natural sweetness and flavor.
  • Use a good quality broth. Chicken or vegetable broth are both good choices. You can also use white wine or water, but the broth will add more flavor.
  • Cook the rice in stages, adding the broth a little at a time. This will help the rice to absorb the liquid and cook evenly.
  • Stir the risotto constantly, especially during the first few minutes of cooking. This will help to prevent the rice from sticking to the bottom of the pan and burning.
  • Once the rice is cooked, stir in some grated Parmesan cheese and butter. This will make the risotto creamy and delicious.
  • Serve the risotto immediately, garnished with fresh herbs such as parsley or chives.

Conclusion:

Vidalia onion risotto is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for lunch or dinner. It is also a great way to use up leftover rice. With its sweet and savory flavor, Vidalia onion risotto is sure to be a hit with everyone at the table.
