It was good. I don't like to make substitutions to recipes I haven't tried but did anyway. I only had a 3lb brisket and my wife is sensitive to red wine/vinegar (too much...even though she likes balsamic...so after reading some reviews, I felt it would be safe to cut the vinegar in half and I did...I also only used 2 large onions and about 10oz. bacon. I only added 2 cups of stock and the brisket was almost submerged so I stopped there. I used button mushrooms and also bought a package of dried porcini and used the reconstituting liquid (3/4 cup and a 1/4 cup of madeira wine so substitute for the other cup of vinegar. I braised at 300 for about 4 hours. It turned out well. I did end up adding another cup of stock (the one I left out earlier and reduced the sauce while the brisket was resting (it was a little too acidic and sweet beforehand. Even so, I was surprised by how sweet it was (not bad though. My wife loved it and I thought it was good too...all in all pretty solid.

This is an awesome recipe! Easy to follow. I couldn't find slab bacon so I used salt pork and removed the pork before serving. I'm not a fan of thyme so I used rosemary instead....but wow....this is such a huge improvement from the better crocker bbq style beef brisket I cut my "cooking" teeth on. Thank you Anne for renewing this cut of beef for me.

Very good! I have tried Ina's, Tyler's and Bobby's recipe for Beef Brisket. I have to say this one is my new favorite. The Balsamic Vinegar and the bacon add a new level to the flavor of the brisket that the others lacked. I reduced the portion for a smaller brisket. Everyone LOVED this meat dish! I am going to buy a new roasting pot to try the full portion! Ann rocks it again. Thanks!

This was great the day of. Served with mashed potatoes, Cesar salad, and dinner rolls. The next day I made mini sliders. Slices of the brisket between toasted rolls and dipped into the au jus. Phenomenal! Even better than the first dinner. I you make this recipe, please try the leftovers this way too!

I at least cook one recipe a week; & this by far is the best dish I have ever made. Having this dish the day after is even better. I sliced the meet & placed it back in the sauce to let the meat marinate even more. A fabulous hit & highly recommended.

Yum, yum, yum, yum, yum! This is a 5+++++ recipe! I made this tonight with a piece of chuck roast (the stores in my area only had commercially wrapped corned beef and the results were wonderful! I followed the recipe and did what Anne did on the show, and it was a success. The sauce was just a little bit too vinegary for the people I was cooking for, so I added a bit of brown sugar and everything was just deee-lish! Thanks, Anne, your recipes are always great!

If I could give this a 10 I would have. That is how much I like this recipe. I have cooked this dish numerous times for ourselves and for friends and family. It is so delicious. It was the first recipe I ever tried of Anne's and it has brought me back to try others.

OMG!! I absolutely loved this recipe. I added some more salt & I used pepper. I added more garlic too because I love it! I also used 1/2 lb more of mushrooms and 2 thyme bundles since my meat was larger. I used a 7-lb brisket & kept the measurements the same for the balsamic. My entire family, including brothers and sister and kids enjoyed this. YUMMY!! Anne, you rock!! I have already shared this recipe with 5 people! Thank you!
