Red Wine Braised Brisket

Brisket is one of those foods I often forget about, but when I do make it, I always love the delicious flavor and how easy it is to cook. I made this brisket after looking for a simple recipe, with simple ingredients I already had at home. I was so happy with the end result and the house smelled amazing from the hours of baking. Once you sear the meat and mix the ingredients for the sauce, all you have to do it slow bake the brisket and baste with the sauce every now and then. You can't go wrong with this!



Recipe from Ricky Bobby

1 3 to 4 pound beef brisket
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 red onion, cut in half and sliced
1 can (14.5 ounces) beef broth
1 can (8 ounces) tomato sauce
1 cup red wine

Preheat your oven to 350F/176C. In a small bowl mix together the thyme, salt and pepper. Rub each side of the brisket with the salt mixture.

Heat the olive oil in a dutch oven over medium-high heat until hot. Sear the brisket on each side for 3-4 minutes, until browned. Set brisket aside.

Add the onions in to the dutch oven, keeping all the oil from searing he brisket in the pot. Cook onions until slightly softened, 2-3 minutes. Mix in the beef broth, tomato sauce and wine. Put the brisket back in the dutch oven and cover with foil.

Roast brisket for 1 hour, then uncover and baste with the cooking liquid in the dutch oven. Cover with the foil and cook another 1.5 to 2 hours until tender.
