WINE-BRAISED BRISKET

Beef braised with porcini and red wine is classically Italian, but here's a Jewish twist: adding sweet, caramelized onions. Portland, Oregon chef Jenn Louis says this combo packs a flavorful umami punch for a brisket that'll be the star of your holiday meal.

Time 3h30m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 ounces dried porcini mushrooms
1 1/2 cups boiling water
1 large yellow onion
2 cloves garlic
4 pounds brisket, trimmed of most fat
Kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
5 tablespoons olive oil, divided
1 sprig rosemary, about 3 inches
3 bay leaves
1/2 cup tomato paste
1 cup red wine
4 cups chicken stock, or beef stock

Steps:

  • Porcini: Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Place the mushrooms in a small bowl and cover with boiling water. Let sit until rehydrated, 10-15 minutes. Meanwhile, line a strainer with cheesecloth and place over a bowl. Gently squeeze the liquid from the rehydrated mushrooms with your hands and set the mushrooms aside. Pour soaking liquid through the cloth-lined strainer into the bowl. (The cloth will filter out any dirt and sediment from the mushrooms.) Set the soaking liquid aside.
  • Vegetables: Cut onions into a large dice. Smash garlic, releasing the peel, then roughly chop; roughly chop mushrooms. Set aside.
  • Brisket: In a large skillet, heat 4 tablespoons of oil over medium-high heat. Season brisket with salt and pepper on both sides. Sear brisket, fat side down, until golden brown, 5-10 minutes. Flip over and sear the other side, about 5 more minutes. Transfer to a roasting pan.
  • Braising liquid: Add another tablespoon of oil to the skillet, lower heat to medium, and add onions, garlic, mushrooms, rosemary, and bay leaves. Stir in a pinch of salt and sauté until onions are translucent, 8-10 minutes. Add tomato paste, and stir constantly until caramelized, 2-3 minutes. Add red wine and bring to a simmer; cook until the liquid has nearly evaporated, 5-6 minutes. Add reserved porcini soaking liquid and chicken stock. Raise heat to medium-high and bring back to a simmer. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Pour hot liquid over brisket and cover with foil. Braise in oven for 2-2½ hours, flipping the brisket once halfway through cooking. After 2½ hours, raise heat to 350 degrees F, remove foil, and continue cooking to brown, 30 minutes. Brisket should be very tender when pierced with a skewer.
  • Assembly: Remove from oven and allow to cool slightly in braising liquid. Remove to a cutting board and thinly slice across the grain. Pour braising liquid over the meat before serving.

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.

Time 3h45m

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 "first cut" beef brisket (5 pounds), fat trimmed to 1/4 inch thick
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
6 shallots, peeled and halved
5 cloves garlic, peeled
1/4 cup potato starch
1 1/2 cups dry white wine, such as Sauvignon Blanc
4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
1/4 cup grainy mustard
3 long strips lemon zest, plus 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
6 sprigs thyme
1 1/2 pounds baby Yukon Gold potatoes, scrubbed clean
4 medium carrots, peeled and cut into 3-inch pieces
1 small turnip, peeled and cut into 4 wedges

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.
