My sister made this for me because I asked for comfort food. The smell when I walked in the house was wonderful. Simple, easy and oh so tender.
1 five pound beef brisket
12 ounces tomato paste
1 T. olive oil
freshly ground black pepper
1 pound coarsely chopped onion (about 4 medium onions)
1/4 cup diced garlic (about 12 cloves)
1 (750ml) bottle burgundy wine
1 bay leaf
1 t. dried thyme
1 t. fresh rosemary
1/2 c. low-sodium soy sauce
2/3 c. water
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Heat oil in a large skillet until hot. Add meat and sear over high heat until lightly browned.
- Rub brisket with tomato paste and salt and pepper.
- Place onions in a large roasting pan. Place meat, fat side up, on top of onions.
- Combine garlic, wine, bay leaf, thyme, rosemary, soy sauce and water. Whisk and pour over brisket.
- Cover and bake 3 hours or until fork tender, basting often with pan juices.
