How to cook deliciously - Passover Brisket

1. Stage

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).

2. Stage

Puree plum tomatoes with juice in a food processor; set aside.

3. Stage

Trim any remaining excess fat from the brisket. Generously season both sides with 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper.

4. Stage

Heat olive oil in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add brisket and brown very well, 4 to 5 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate and set aside.

5. Stage

Reduce heat to medium-low and add remaining olive oil, onions, and garlic. Cook, stirring frequently, until quite brown and very soft, about 25 minutes. Add red wine, raise heat to high, and bring to a boil. Cook for about 2 minutes, scraping the browned bits of food off the bottom with a wooden spoon.

6. Stage

Add pureed tomatoes, carrots, and celery and stir well to combine. Return brisket to the pot, spooning some of the liquid and vegetables over it.

7. Stage

Cover and transfer to the preheated oven. Cook until brisket is very tender, about 3 hours, carefully turning the meat halfway through.

8. Stage

Remove from the oven and let cool slightly, 10 to 15 minutes. Carefully remove brisket to a cutting board and slice across the grain into 1/4-inch thick slices.

9. Stage

Transfer sauce and vegetables to a food processor and process until smooth. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if necessary.

10. Stage

Return sauce to the pot and place sliced brisket in the sauce. Warm over medium-low heat for 5 minutes before serving.
