Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil 3 1/2 pounds beef brisket, cut into 3-inch pieces Coarse salt and ground pepper 8 shallots, halved 6 garlic cloves, smashed and peeled 3 cups dry red wine

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a large Dutch oven or heavy pot, heat 2 tablespoons oil over medium-high. Season brisket with salt and pepper; in batches, cook, turning occasionally, until dark brown on all sides, about 20 minutes total. Transfer brisket to a plate and discard fat from pot. Return pot to heat and add 2 teaspoons oil and shallots; cook, stirring, until shallots are browned, 3 minutes. Add garlic and cook, stirring, until fragrant, 1 minute.

Add wine and simmer rapidly until reduced by three-fourths, about 15 minutes. Return beef to pot and add just enough water to cover meat (5 to 6 cups). Bring to a boil, cover, then place pot in oven. Cook until beef is tender, 3 1/2 to 4 hours.

    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: 4 stars       09/10/2018   Never made brisket before so I knew going into this there would be a learning curve. Wanted to try something different for Rosh Hashana. The recipe is easy to follow. I will admit I went overboard buying brisket and ended up with a 7 pound roast, not the 3-4 they speak of. I read in one review that the gravy was a bit bland, so looked at other recipes to see what else I might want to add. Someone mentioned using merlot wine for the sweetness. So, I got a 'fusion' wine AND some merlot and mixed them together after tasting the fusion. I also added onions to the mix. When I tasted the gravy initially, it was kind of watery, so I added some bayleaves, non salt herbal seasoning, and salt and pepper. The bay leaves really added what I was looking for! The result was delicious! would definitely make again! The gravy does cook down so don't be afraid to use more wine if you have a bigger cut of meat. I will admit the meat could have been more tender, but I read (after the fact) that it has to be cooked slow at low temps. This recipe calls for 350 x 4 hrs. Maybe next time I will turn it down to 325 and see how it goes.  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       01/21/2011   A fabulous recipe! I used Stag's Leap Cabernet. Pricey, but beyond delicious!! I think the quality of wine has a lot to do with flavor. It was simply divine and worth the price of the wine! Thank you everyday cooking!  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       11/29/2010   I wonder if can you do this in a slow cooker?

    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       03/06/2010   I made this and found this to be a very easy recipe. I felt that the sauce lacked something, so I added 1 Tablespoon of tomato paste and some thyme and I'm glad I did this. Very simple to make and economical. I served this with my own version of glazed carrots and the buttered parsley noodles. Very comforting!
