Season with salt and cook until they are very soft and aromatic, 7 to 8 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for another 2 to 3 minutes. Toss in the mushrooms and cook until they are soft and wilted.

THE ULTIMATE GOURMET BEEF BRISKET

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 250°F.
• Rub beef with Montreal steak spice.
• Use spoon or spatula to cover beef with a thin layer of Demi-glace.
• Place brisket FAT side UP and cover with slices of Truffle.
• Rap entire brisket in foil, two or even three times NO HOLES!
• Place brisket into a roasting pan of decent enough height to contain juices.
• Be sure the fat and Truffles are facing up in the pan.
• Cook in roasting pan in 250F oven for 10 hours. Lots of time to prep the BBQ for Hickory smoke.
• After 10 hours open the foil on the top (end to end) and tilt the brisket to get most of the juices out of the foil and into the roasting pan.RESERVE juices. Keep brisket in foil and transfer to BBQ. Use a tray to keep the brisket from falling apart or sticking. Do whatever you do to provide meat with smoke (BBQ set low with a smoker -- or an actual smoker, either is good). The key is low heat! Keep the meat covered but slightly open to promote smoke flavor. You should be able to "forget" about the meat for another 2 hours on the BBQ. If you need to tend the meat on the BBQ then its probably too hot.
• Combine 2 cups of BBQ sauce with the juices from the roasting pan (should be almost 2 cups of juice) and cook over low/med heat to simmer. Cook for 15 minutes at a good simmer -- skim as much fat as you can and keep sauce warm.
• Let Brisket sit for 20 minutes before slicing. Open foil and LIGHTLY salt the brisket. Remove as many truffle slices as you can and RESERVE. Slice ACROSS the grain of the brisket then "pull" apart meat with fingers. You can slice it all and mix in the sauce to one big bowl to combine and serve a large party easily OR slice what you need and put sauce on individual buns -- saving the rest for later use.
• Either way put around 200 grams of beef on a bun bottom and cover/smother with sauce. Add a bit of truffle and the bun top and you're ready to go. Actually, open-faced is more attractive and can be served on more occasions. Plus it shows the truffles. As a sandwich serve with corn on the cob, Potato salad or maybe "mashed" potato and a Caesar? Open-faced serve with you're favorite fancy dinner veg -- could be anything.

ONE-POT BEEF BRISKET & BRAISED CELERY

Steps:

• If you have time, up to 24 hrs before, sit the beef in a snug plastic container and pour over the wine. Cover and leave to marinate in the fridge, turning the beef as and when you can.
• Heat oven to 170C/150C fan/gas 3½. Drain the wine from the beef (if you've marinated), but keep the wine. Heat the oil in a flameproof casserole dish that will fit the beef and all the vegetables - don't worry if the beef is too tall for the dish. Season the beef and spend a good 15 mins browning it on all sides, then remove from the dish. Add the celery, carrots and onion to the dish, sizzle in the beef fat for 5 mins, then add the garlic and herbs. Nestle the beef among the vegetables, pour over the wine and bring to a simmer. Cover the dish with its lid (or foil if the beef is too tall) and braise in the oven for 4-4½ hrs until very tender, turning the beef once.
• Once cooked, leave to rest for 10 mins, then lift the beef onto a carving board. Drain the vegetables (reserving the braising juices), toss with the parsley and tip into a dish. Spoon the fat off the braising juices and pour into a bowl for spooning over. The sauce can be chilled in the fridge - the fat will solidify and can be lifted off the sauce before it's reheated.
