How to cook deliciously - Jewish Brisket
1. Stage
Preheat the oven to 325°F.
2. Stage
Brown the brisket: Season the brisket with most of the salt and pepper. Heat the oil in a large ovenproof pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Cook the brisket, turning occasionally, until browned on all sides, 10 to 12 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
3. Stage
Cook the vegetables: Place the onions, celery, and garlic in the pot, tossing it in the residual fat. Season with the remaining salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.
4. Stage
Add the liquids and aromatics and braise: Add the wine, crushed tomatoes, ketchup, brown sugar, thyme, and bay leaves, stirring to combine. Place the brisket in the liquid, fat side up. Cover the pot and braise in the oven until the meat is fork-tender, about 3 hours.
5. Stage
Add the carrots: Uncover the pot and nestle the carrots around the brisket. Cook, uncovered, until the carrots are tender (not soft) and the top of brisket is browned and crisp, 35 to 45 minutes.
6. Stage
Slice the brisket and make the sauce: Remove the brisket from the pot and slice against the grain to serve. Place on a deep serving platter. Meanwhile, use a spoon to skim fat from the surface of the braising liquid and discard. Heat over medium-high heat and cook until the liquid is thickened to a sauce-like consistency, 5 to 10 minutes. Remove the thyme sprigs and bay leaves. Taste and season with salt and pepper as needed. Pour the sauce over the brisket and serve. Love the recipe? Leave us stars below!
