Preparation
Step 1
Heat oven to 350 degrees F.
Place onion, ginger, garlic, Dijon mustard, red wine, cola, ketchup, honey, cider vinegar, soy sauce, olive oil, cloves, and pepper into a food processor, and process with steel blade until smooth.
Place brisket, fat side up, into a heavy baking pan just large enough to hold it, and pour sauce over it. Cover tightly and bake for 2 hours. Turn brisket over and bake uncovered for one more hour or until fork-tender. Cool, cover brisket and refrigerate overnight in cooking pan.
Lay brisket on cutting board and cut off any fat. With a sharp knife against grain, to desired thickness. Remove any congealed fat from sauce and bring to a boil on top of stove. Heat oven to 350 degrees F. Taste sauce to see if it needs reducing. If so, boil it down for a few minutes or as needed. Return meat to sauce and warm in oven for 20 minutes. Serve warm.
