|
- 1 beef brisket 4-5 pounds
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- 1 cup red wine Yarden Hermon red is a great choice
- 1/2 cup ketchup kosher for Passover
- 3/4 cup chili sauce kosher for Passover
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 3 onions sliced
- 1 clove garlic
- 2 bay leaves
- 1 sprig thyme
- 2 tsp salt
- 1 tsp black pepper
- roasting pan
- Preheat oven to 500°F.
- With a knife, cut most of the brisket’s fat (leave a small portion of it on top)
- Rub the brisket with garlic and scatter salt + black pepper over it.
- Sear the brisket in oil in a large roasting pan until brown on top, then turn to other side so both sides are brown and crisp.
- While the brisket is searing, mix the red wine, sugar, ketchup, chili sauce, and bay leaves in a bowl
- Remove the pan from the oven, and reduce the oven temperature to 350°F.
- Cover the brisket with the sauce and sliced onions
- Add the thyme on top, and sprinkle salt & pepper over the pan
- Cover the pan with foil and cook in the oven for around 3 hours. Stick a fork in the meat to check if it’s properly cooked and ready.
- Take out the brisket and slice it. Let it cool down, and reheat before serving
- The brown sugar can be reduced or even omitted. Many people prefer it less sweat.
- You can also add beef stock or beef broth to make it juicier
- Serve with mashed potatoes, cooked carrots (with honey – my favorite), and anything else you can think of!
