By lisaS

Ingredients

• 1 cup honey
• 1/2 cup mustard
• 8 cloves garlic, minced
• 4 tablespoons orange juice
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1/2 teaspoon red chili flakes
• 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt
• fresh ground pepper
• 1 brisket (4-pound)
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1/2 teaspoon all-purpose flour

Preparation

Step 1

Combine honey, mustard, garlic, orange juice, lemon juice, chili flakes, thyme, salt and pepper in a medium bowl, whisking to blend well.
Place the brisket in a sealable plastic bag. Add the marinade, seal, and refrigerate at least 1 hour or up to 24 hours.
Remove brisket from refrigerator and allow to come to room temperature.
Preheat the oven to 350° F.
Heat olive oil in a Dutch oven over medium heat. Remove brisket from marinade (reserve marinade) and sear brisket, 5 minutes per side or until nicely browned. Pour marinade from plastic bag over brisket, cover and place in the oven for 2 hours.
Remove lid and continue to cook for an additional 30 minutes to 1 hour or until tender.
Remove brisket to a cutting board and let rest at least 15 minutes before slicing against the grain.
Return Dutch oven to stove top and bring remaining liquid to a simmer. Whisk in flour and simmer 3 to 5 minutes, until thickened.
Pour over sliced brisket and serve.
