WINE-BRAISED BRISKET
When brisket is braised, it becomes extraordinarily juicy and tender. For a springtime spin on the classic recipe, we used a dry white wine instead of the usual heavier red.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Generously season brisket with salt and pepper. Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high. Sear brisket until browned, 4 to 5 minutes a side; transfer to a plate. Drain fat from pot and discard. Reduce heat to medium; add remaining 2 tablespoons oil, shallots, garlic, and potato starch and cook, stirring, 2 minutes. Stir in wine, scraping up any browned bits from bottom of pot. Add broth, mustard, zest, and thyme; bring to a boil. Add meat and any accumulated juices. Cover and transfer to oven; cook 2 hours, 15 minutes.
- Flip meat over; add vegetables. Cover and continue to cook until everything is very tender, about 45 minutes. (If you're saving it for the next day, let cool, then cover and refrigerate overnight. Reheat, covered, in a 350 degrees oven until warmed through, about 40 minutes.)
- Transfer vegetables to a platter and meat to a cutting board; season with salt. Skim fat from liquid in pot. Stir in lemon juice; season with salt and pepper. Slice brisket against the grain and serve, with vegetables and sauce.
RED-WINE BRAISED BEEF BRISKET W. HORSERADISH SAUCE (SARA MOULTON
This recipe is from Sara Moulton's Chanukah show on TV Food Network (the recipe can be found there, along with her story of the family connection this recipe has for her). I've included it because it's a personal favorite and because it reminds me of my mother's recipe ... except, of course, my mother's must taste better (everyone's mother makes the best ...). Sara's discussion includes a very good description of brisket from a butcher's (and consumer's viewpoint) ... you can find similar great informaton in Molly Stevens' Braising book (an IACP and Beard Foundation prize winner, so well worth having). The portions are based on a 5.5 lb brisket, 10% shrinkage during cooking and a 6 oz portion serving (10 servings). I often find people go for 8-10 oz, so don't be surprized if this turns into 7-8 servings! BTW, as with most braises, it tastes even better the next day -- I often make it a day ahead to let the flavors marry overnight ... To answer a few basic questions: the strategy here is that we will coat the brisket with a seasoned flour to create a crust and seal in the juices. We will then create a vegetable base (broth) on the stovetop, reduce it to concentrate its flavor, then reliquify it with chicken broth to braise (cook in a relatively small amount of liquid) the brisket to complete tenderness. This sounds complicated, but its really not ... and the layers of flavor are just amazing!! The horseradish sauce is made separately, on the cooktop. Variations: (1) Skip the horseradish sauce and use the pan sauce. Either one is great. (2) Skip the oven and use a slow cooker to do the braising. No fuss and keeps the kitchen cool and the oven clean. You will still need to do a fair amount on the cooktop. Each slow cooker has different temperatures, but I'd suggest starting at about 4-6 hours at high heat and using at a minimum a 5 qt cooker. (3) Kosher brisket and kosher wine makes this a kosher main course. (4) For Passover, replace the flour with matzoh meal.

Steps:
- If using a slow cooker, skip this step entirely: place your oven shelf so your casserole or Dutch oven will be in the bottom third of the oven and preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
- Fill a small saucepan with water, and bring to a boil over high heat.
- Add the garlic cloves, bring back to a boil, and cook rapidly until slightly softened, about 1 minute.
- Use a slotted spoon to transfer the garlic to a bowl of ice water and peel when cool enough to handle.
- Combine the flour, salt, and pepper in a large shallow dish or large platter.
- Coat the brisket on all sides with the seasoned flour and shake off any excess.
- Heat the oil in a large covered casserole or Dutch oven over medium-high heat until almost smoking.
- Add the brisket and sear, turning often, until well browned, about 6 to 8 minutes per side.
- Transfer to a plate or platter and pour off all but 2 tablespoons of the fat.
- Add the onions and the peeled garlic.
- Reduce the heat to medium and saute, stirring often, until golden, about 10 minutes.
- Pour in the wine and stir to pick up any browned bits on the bottom of the casserole.
- Stir in the tomato paste and add the bay leaves and thyme.
- Increase the heat to high and bring to a boil.
- Cook rapidly, stirring often, until almost all the liquid has evaporated.
- At this point, if you're using a slow cooker, transfer the contents of the casserole into the slow cooker, set the cooker for time and temperature, add the chicken stock and the brisket, cover tightly with foil and then your cooker's lid, test for doneness with a fork (see step 20) and meanwhile continue to make the sauce (step 21).
- If not using a slow cooker, pour in the chicken stock and bring back to a boil.
- Reduce the heat to medium and add the brisket.
- Cover tightly with a piece of foil, then cover the pot with the lid.
- Transfer to the lower third of the oven and cook until a fork comes out easily when pierced, 3 to 4 hours.
- To make the Horseradish Sauce: mix the horseradish, vinegar, mayonnaise, chives, and lemon juice in a small bowl.
- Stir well to blend and season with salt and pepper.
- You should have about 1 cup -- keep refrigerated until ready to serve.
- Transfer the brisket from the casserole (or slow cooker) to a cutting surface and cover loosely with foil.
- Let rest for 15 minutes.
- Gently skim the surface of the liquid in the casserole with a spoon to remove as much fat as possible (or you can pour off [though a sieve] into a gravy separator, let it rest for 10-15 minutes and then pour off most of the fat; putting the separator and liquid into the freezer makes the separation happen even more quickly).
- Remove and discard the bay leaves.
- Thinly slice the brisket on an angle, cutting against the grain.
- Arrange the slices on a warmed serving platter or plate and spoon on some of the horseradish cream.
- Serve warm and enjoy the complements!

Steps:

BBQ BRISKET WITH RED WINE REDUCTION
This recipe I've invented through experimentation in my kitchen. I love to cook --- a passion I've inherited from my mother. It is time consuming because you have to cook it 2x, once in the oven then into the grill. But it will come out super tender and tasty you will not regret it. It would be nice paired with some fresh grilled waldorf salad and paired with a chilled sangria. Left overs can be used for sandwiches. Enjoy!

Steps:
- 1. Take the brisket and cut them in 3 large chunks. Make sure that they will fit in your large roasting pan with spaces between them and the pan is stainless steel so it will not react to the meat and marinade.
- 2. Combine all ingredients in a separate bowl and pour all over your meat and let it marinate overnight.
- 3. Turn on your oven at 200 degrees and roast the meat with the marinade for 3 hours. If your roasting pan has a cover, use that to cover your meat. If you dont have a cover for the pan, you can use the foil, however, please ensure that it doesnt touch your meat or marinade.
- The remaining fat on the meat and the marinade will keep the meat super moist. The acid on the wine, lemon and orange juices will help break down the muscle tissue as well.
- 4. After 3 hours, take off the meat from the pan and let it rest. Start your grill. I love grilling over charcoal because of that smokey taste it gives my meat. However, you can use a gas grill if you'd like.
- 5. Reserve the marinating liquid for later.
- 6. After resting, stab the meat chunks with a sturdy fork and coat it with the rub. Make sure all sides are coated with the spice.
- 7. Once all 3 chunks are coated, grill the meats for about 10 mins, just enough for the rub to caramelize on the meat. Once done, take the meat off the grill and let it rest for 30 minutes
- 8. Take the reserved cooked marinade and transfer on the sauce pan. Simmer the juice until the liquid is reduced into half. Then take your hand blender and blend the juices to ensure smooth sauce.
- 9. Cut your meat into thin slices and place in a large deep bowl before smothering with the reduced sauce.
