Hanukkah Brisket

Ingredients:

  • 5 pounds of beef brisket
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 2 onions, sliced
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 cups beef broth
  • 1 cup red wine
  • 1 cup tomato paste
  • 3 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tablespoon ground cumin
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).
  2. In a large oven-safe pot or Dutch oven, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Season the brisket with salt and pepper. Sear the brisket on all sides until browned. Remove the brisket from the pot and set aside.
  3. Add the sliced onions to the pot and cook until they are softened and translucent, about 5-7 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
  4. Return the brisket to the pot, then add the beef broth, red wine, tomato paste, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, and ground cumin. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
  5. Cover the pot with a lid and transfer it to the preheated oven. Cook for approximately 4 to 5 hours, or until the brisket is tender and can be easily shredded with a fork. Check the brisket occasionally, adding more liquid if necessary to keep it moist.
  6. Once done, remove the brisket from the oven and allow it to rest for about 20 minutes. Slice the brisket against the grain and serve with the pan sauce drizzled over the top. Garnish with fresh parsley and accompany with your favorite side dishes.
