Best Baked Brisket
Ingredients
- 4-6 lb beef brisket
- 1 tsp salt, optional
- 1 tsp fresh ground pepper
- 1 Tbsp oil
- 2 lg onions, chopped
- 2 lg garlic cloves
- 1/2 cup hot water
- 1 cup red wine (such as Burgundy (I find that Burgundy really adds flavor)
- 1 tsp Worcestershire Sauce
- 1/2 tsp Kitchen Bouquet
- dash of parsley flakes
- dash of oregano
- 3 Tbsp catsup
- 1 lb fresh mushrooms, sliced
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350° F.
- Rub the meat with salt and pepper.
- Brown meat in oil.
- Remove meat and set aside.
- Saute chopped onions in the oil from browning the meat.
- Put meat into a large roasting pan and top with cooked onions.
- Mix together the rest of the ingredients except the mushrooms.
- Pour mixture over meat, cover roasting pan with foil and bake. Allow 40 to 50 minutes per pound of brisket (it is best to allow more time to make the meat even more tender-just check to make sure there is plenty of liquid surrounding the meat). Add more wine or water if necessary.
- Add mushrooms the last 30 minutes.
