Preparation

Step 1

step 1

ingredients 3-5 pound Brisket
Salt and Freshly Ground Pepper

instructions Preheat oven to 300 degrees F. Season the brisket generously with salt and freshly ground pepper.

step 2

ingredients Olive Oil
1/2 pound Pearl Onions
4 Anchovies
1 tablespoon Tomato Paste
8 cloves Garlic
1 Bay Leaf
4 sprigs Rosemary (tied in bundle)
6 Carrots (peeled and cut into 2-inch chunks)
6 Parsnips (peeled and cut into 2-inch chunks)
2 pounds Yukon Gold Potatoes
2 tablespoons Flour

instructions Heat a large dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add a few tablespoons of olive oil and sear the brisket deeply on all sides. Remove to a plate, and add the onions and anchovies to the remaining hot fat. Add the tomato paste and cook until it begins to turn a rusty color, then add the garlic, bay leaf, and rosemary. Add the vegetables and flour and toss with wooden spoon to lightly coat the vegetables in the flour and tomato mixture.

step 3

ingredients 1 cup Red Wine
3 cups Beef Stock

instructions Add the wine to deglaze the pan, scraping the brown bits off of the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon as much as possible. Add the brisket back to the pan and add stock to come 1/3rd up the side of the pan.

step 4

ingredients Fresh Horseradish (to garnish)

instructions Transfer to oven and cook 2 to 3 hours, until meat is very tender. Garnish with freshly grated horseradish.

Helpful Tips:
1. A chuck, pork shoulder, or any fatty cut would work for this recipe.
2. Even though the meat is super tender, cut against the grain for the perfect slice.
