Ingredients

  • 1 (6-pound) brisket, upper portion
  • Salt
  • Vegetable oil
  • 1/2 pound carrots, peeled and cut into 2-inch pieces
  • Few stalks celery, cut into big chunks
  • 3 medium onions, peeled and cut into eights
  • Cloves from 1 head garlic, peeled and lightly smashed
  • 26-ounce box strained tomatoes (recommended: Pomi)
  • 1/3 cup light brown sugar
  • 1 cup chicken stock
  • 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar or apple cider vinegar

Directions

Preheat oven to 200 degrees F.

Rub brisket generously with salt and vegetable oil.

Heat a large saute pan over medium-high heat. Add vegetable oil to evenly coat pan and when the oil is hot and is just beginning to smoke, add the brisket and brown on both sides. Transfer the brisket to a shallow baking dish. Add the vegetables to the saute pan. Cook until they brown and start to soften, about 5 minutes. Then pour the vegetables over the brisket.

Whisk together the tomatoes, sugar, stock and vinegar in a mixing bowl then pour it into the same saute pan. Cook for a few minutes to get all the flavor out of the skillet, and then pour over the brisket. It should be at least 3/4 of the way submersed in the liquid. Cover the dish loosely with aluminum foil and bake for 8 to 10 hours until tender and the meat begins to fall apart. Slice thinly and serve with veggies and cooking liquid.

    I made this Brisket a few times and even my 14 year old daughter who hates to eat meat asked when we can have it again!

    perfect exactly the way it is. the sauce initially doesn't taste like anything special right after combining the ingredients, but after hours of cooking with the meat, it was perfect. the meat held it's shape but was incredibly soft. i had to cut the brisket into 2 pieces to fit into baking dishes. next time i'll just use my large dutch oven and not bother with transferring the brisket from a saute pan to a baking dish.
