Brisket In Wine Sauce Food

WINE-BRAISED BRISKET

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.

In a medium bowl, mix together ketchup, wine, and water. Pour over brisket. 5. Cover pan tightly with aluminum foil, tenting so the foil does not touch the meat. 6. Bake, covered, at 325°F for 3 hours, or until a digital thermometer inserted into the center of the brisket reads 190°F. 7. Let stand at least 15 minutes before slicing against the grain. Serve warm, with pan juices poured over the meat or served on the side.

WINE-BRAISED BEEF BRISKET

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Mix thyme, salt, and black pepper in a small bowl and rub the mixture over both sides of brisket.
• Heat olive oil in a roasting pan over medium-high heat; place brisket in the hot oil and brown on both sides, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Remove brisket from pan and set aside.
• Place red onion slices into the hot roasting pan and cook and stir until onion is slightly softened, about 2 minutes. Stir in beef broth, tomato sauce, and wine.
• Place the brisket back into the roasting pan and cover pan with foil.
• Roast the brisket in the preheated oven for 1 hour; remove foil and baste brisket with pan juices. Place foil back over roasting pan and roast brisket until very tender and pan sauce has thickened, 1 1/2 to 2 more hours.

RED WINE-BRAISED BRISKET ROULADE

Steps:

• Trim the pearl onions and cut a slit up the sides from root to tip. Transfer to a bowl and cover with hot water; let sit 30 minutes to soften, then drain and peel; set aside.
• Meanwhile, wrap the thyme, bay leaves and juniper berries in a square of cheesecloth and tie closed; set aside.
• Butterfly the brisket: With your knife parallel to the cutting board, slice the brisket in half horizontally almost all the way through, leaving one side attached; open like a book. (If the brisket is triangular, cut from the pointed side toward the wider side.) Pound with the flat side of a meat mallet until about 3/4 inch thick, if needed.
• Season the brisket with salt and pepper and arrange with the wider of the two short sides in front of you. Arrange the carrots and parsnips horizontally across the brisket, close to the side in front of you. Starting from this side, roll the brisket over the vegetables to make a tight log and set seam-side down. Tie in 2-inch intervals using kitchen twine, then tie across the length, tucking in the ends. Season with salt and pepper.
• Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F. Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large Dutch oven over high heat. Add the brisket and cook, turning, until browned all over, 12 to 15 minutes. Remove to a plate.
• Reduce the heat to medium. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil if the pot looks dry, then add the garlic, shallot and tomato paste and cook, stirring, until golden, about 1 minute. Sprinkle in the flour and cook, stirring constantly, until golden, about 1 minute. Add the wine, brandy, pearl onions and cheesecloth bundle and bring to a boil. Whisk in the demi-glace and 1 cup water and return to a boil.
• Nestle the brisket in the liquid and return to a boil. Cover and transfer to the oven. Bake, turning halfway through, until the brisket is tender and a thermometer inserted into the center registers 190 degrees F to 200 degrees F, about 4 hours. Remove from the oven, uncover and turn the brisket. Let rest in the sauce at least 30 minutes.
• Transfer the brisket to a cutting board. Discard the cheesecloth bundle. Skim the fat off the top of the sauce and cook over high heat until thick and glossy, 15 to 20 minutes. Remove from the heat and whisk in the butter, then stir in the parsley.
• Remove the twine from the brisket and cut into 1-inch-thick slices. Transfer the sauce and brisket to a platter; top with more parsley.
