Ingredients

  • 3 pounds beef brisket, fat trimmed to a 1/4-inch layer Coarse salt and ground pepper 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour 1 can (14.5 ounces) reduced-sodium chicken broth 1 cup dry red wine, such as Cabernet Sauvignon 1 bay leaf 2 tablespoons unsulfured molasses 1 bag (12 ounces) cranberries 1 bag (1 pound) frozen pearl onions

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees with rack in lowest position. Season brisket with salt and pepper. Heat a 5-quart Dutch oven or heavy pot over medium-high. Add brisket, fat side down. Cook until browned, 8 to 10 minutes, rotating once. Transfer brisket to a plate (reserve pot).

Add flour to pot and cook, stirring, 30 seconds. Add broth, wine, bay leaf, molasses, half the cranberries, and 2 cups water; bring to a boil. Return brisket to pot, and cover. Transfer to oven; bake 3 hours.

Stir in onions; cover, and return pot to oven. Cook 30 minutes more. Stir in remaining cranberries; return pot to oven. Cook, uncovered, until brisket is fork-tender, 30 minutes more. Discard bay leaf before serving.

Cook’s Notes Make sure you buy fresh brisket (and not corned beef).

    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: 5 stars       12/01/2017   i serve it with spaetzle on the side. the nutmeg in the spaetzle adds a nice touch  

Martha Stewart Member     Rating: 5 stars       04/29/2017   Delicious and different brisket recipe that I make to go along with turkey at thanksgiving, my family always raves about it. The cranberries add such a nice tart flavor that helps cut through the richness of the meat  

Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       11/12/2008   Dragonlady: you could use any hearty cut of red meat that would stand up to a long, slow braise. Chuck would probably work well.  

Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       11/07/2008   My local supermarkets only have briskets cut on the flat. Is there another roast cut I can use for this recipe?
