Number Of Ingredients 13

3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
5 pounds beef brisket
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
4 medium onions, halved and thinly sliced
4 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
1 can (28 ounces) whole peeled plum tomatoes, coarsely chopped, with juice
2 3/4 cups homemade or low-sodium store-bought beef stock
1/3 cup cider vinegar
1 bag (14 1/2 ounces) prepared sauerkraut, drained
1 cup pitted prunes
1 cup dried Black Mission figs
1 cup dried apricots
1 cup pitted dates

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Heat oil in a large roasting pan over high heat. Season beef with salt and pepper. Brown beef in pan all over, about 4 minutes per side. Transfer to a platter. Add onions and garlic to pan; reduce heat to medium. Cook, stirring, until onions just turn golden, about 5 minutes. Add tomatoes and juice, the stock, and vinegar; bring to a boil.
  • Return meat to pan; cover with foil. Cook in oven until fork-tender, about 1 1/2 hours. Turn meat; add sauerkraut and dried fruits. Cover; cook until meat is very tender and sauce is reduced, about 1 1/2 hours. Let stand 30 minutes. Slice meat against the grain. Serve with sauce.

I wasn't sure about using dried fruits in a brisket recipe, but I'm glad I tried it. The fruit added a nice sweetness and complexity to the dish.

This recipe is a bit time-consuming, but it's worth it. The brisket is fall-apart tender and the sauce is to die for.

The dried fruits in this recipe really make it special. They add a unique flavor that you don't get from traditional brisket recipes.

I used a combination of dried cherries, apricots, and cranberries in this recipe, and it was delicious! The fruit added a nice tartness that balanced out the richness of the brisket.
