How to Make Baked Beef Brisket In Wine

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Slice one large onion and arrange the slices in the bottom of a large roasting pan.
  3. Place the 3-4 lb beef brisket on top of the onions.
  4. In a bowl, whisk together 1 bottle (750ml) of dry red wine, 1 cup beef broth, 1/2 cup ketchup, 1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce, 2 tablespoons brown sugar, 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard, 1 teaspoon dried thyme, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
  5. Pour the wine mixture evenly over the brisket.
  6. Cover the roasting pan tightly with aluminum foil.
  7. Bake for 3-4 hours, or until the brisket is fork-tender.
  8. Remove the brisket from the oven and let it rest, covered, for 10-15 minutes.
  9. Meanwhile, if desired, thicken the pan juices by simmering them uncovered on the stovetop over medium heat until slightly reduced.
  10. Slice the brisket thinly across the grain.
  11. Serve immediately with your favorite noodles or rice. Enjoy!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
