8 thumbs up from my four kids and that's saying a lot!

I notice a lot of people comment on the amount of liquid needed. I start with a lid on the pot and switch to foil at the two-hour mark. It seems like there's too much liquid at two hours, but by the end, it's just perfect. Next time I think I'll keep the lid on till the third hour. The drippings are so good mixed back into the meat.

So flavorful and so simple! I've also prepared this recipe successfully in a Crockpot.

I love brisket when it is tender and not chewy, as it can sometimes be. I followed the directions, but heeded the advice to keep checking and adding more liquid. I used a 5 lb brisket and ended up using an entire bottle of wine, 1/2 a can of beef broth and probably about 3 cups of water by the time it was finished cooking. It took about 7.5 hours to cook. The brisket was mouth wateringly tender and just pulled apart, as it should be.
Will make this again and again.

The secret here is the wine...I have tried brisket many times and none has been as tender as this. I hear people use beer, water, stock, etc. but the brisket isn't as tender. I used almost an entire bottle of dry red wine and a cup of water to begin. I had to add more water (several cups at a time 2 hours into cooking and again at 4.5 hours. I had a 4 pound brisket so I cooked it for 5 hours and 30 min on 350. If you don't add water 2 hours in, it will burn for sure so make sure you check it. We had the brisket with corn tortillas and a tomatillo salsa (Tyler Florence recipe and sour cream. I will make again and again...and I told my hubby that the wine (instead using of beer, water, stock is our little "family" secret!
