This recipe was absolutely delicious. My family loved it. I saw it on Anne Burrell's Secrets of a Restaurant Chef and said, "I just have to make that!" I made the potato pancake recipe, also featured on the same episode, to go with it. They were also very good. I am new to serious cooking and trying new recipes, so at first it seemed a little intimidating to me. I feel it would have been easier for me if I had alot of the ingredients prepped beforehand. All in all, it was a success. I will definitely make this recipe again. Thanks Anne, and I enjoy watching your show.

Good recipe. I will cook it a bit less the next time. It was fall apart tender, but a little dry (the sauce helped and was yummy! I had a 5.15lb brisket so I followed the recipe exactly. My family loved it so will definitely be making again! Thanks Anne!

This receipe was GREAT! Could'nt get a brisket so the butcher gave me 5 lb chuck roast and I sliced it about 3 inches thick and ended up with 3 pieces. The meat was fork tender, amazing!

I've made quite a few briskets using the recipes from many of the chefs on foodnetwork, and this one is the best so far. The cooking time was perfect for my 5.5lb brisket. I was a little intimidated by the amount of balsamic vinegar and only used about 3/4 cup and added about 1/4 cup red wine. The "slops", as we call them, were absolutely delicious! Awesome recipe!

SOOO Delicious. A four hour cooking session - which I love but some others might not....Served it with cheesy cauliflower casserole and mashed potatoes - YUM!

This dish was fabulous! I served it for my family and everyone thought it had so much flavor. My son pleaded to take the leftovers home for his family!!

This was great. It was easy and impressive. I was worried about the braised brisket....didnt want it to be tough. But it turned out delicious. Served it with a pea and bacon risotto...it was all great!

Absolutely delicous, easy. Don't worry about the vinegary taste of the balsamic initially - it reduces to a rich, mouth watering thick gravy.

Sauerbraten meets boeuf bourguignon meets Texas brisket? Other than the restaurant tricks, I am always looking for restaurant level recipes and ideas; and to be honest, this wouldn't be something that I would pick off a menu. It's interesting but I have something better to do with a good piece of brisket. Don't let this stop you from trying a nice recipe, but I'll be out at the barbecue.

This is a really good dish, and the sauce is a delightful surprise. The only addition we made was to add a bottle of dark beer to the braising liquid. As a result, our sauce didn't thicken as it should've in the reduction stage, so I added a slurry of corn starch and water. We served ours with mashed rutabagas and roasted haricot verts, and it was a scrumptious and visually appealing meal. The only reason I didn't rate this recipe with five stars is that when I spend $43 on one brisket, I want to be completely blown away by the dish. I think I'd prefer to buy short ribs for that amount of money.
