Brisket Recipe

Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Brisket

   Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Season the brisket generously with salt and black pepper on both sides.

2. 2

   Sear the Meat

   In a large Dutch oven, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the brisket and sear it on both sides until browned, about 5-7 minutes per side. Remove the brisket and set it aside.

3. 3

   Sauté the Vegetables

   In the same Dutch oven, add chopped onion, garlic, carrots, and celery. Sauté until the vegetables are softened, about 5-6 minutes.

4. 4

   Deglaze the Pot

   Pour in the red wine and scrape the bottom of the pot to release any browned bits. Let it simmer for about 5 minutes.

5. 5

   Combine Ingredients

   Return the brisket to the pot. Add beef broth, thyme, and bay leaves. Bring to a simmer.

6. 6

   Braise the Brisket

   Cover the pot and transfer it to the preheated oven. Braise for 3-4 hours, or until the brisket is fork-tender.

7. 7

   Rest and Serve

   Remove the pot from the oven and let the brisket rest for 15-20 minutes before slicing. Serve with the au jus made from the braising liquid.
