Main Ingredients

4 pounds beef brisket

2 cups Red wine

1 cup beef broth

Method

Cooking Instructions

Prepare the Brisket

Season the brisket with salt and black pepper on both sides.

Sear the Brisket

In a large Dutch oven, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear the brisket for about 5-7 minutes on each side until browned. Remove and set aside.

Sauté the Vegetables

In the same pot, add sliced onions, carrots, and celery. Sauté for about 5 minutes until they begin to soften. Add minced garlic and cook for another minute.

Deglaze the Pot

Pour in the red wine and beef broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot.

Add the Brisket and Herbs

Return the brisket to the pot. Add bay leaves and fresh thyme. Bring to a simmer.

Braise the Brisket

Cover the pot and reduce the heat to low. Braise for 3-4 hours, or until the brisket is tender.

Rest and Serve

Remove the brisket from the pot and let it rest for 15 minutes before slicing. Serve with the braising liquid and vegetables.
