WINE-BRAISED BRISKET



Wine-Braised Brisket image

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.

Categories     main-dish

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.

RED WINE BRAISED BEEF BRISKET



Red Wine Braised Beef Brisket image

Slow braising an otherwise tough cut of meat like brisket turns the beef meltingly soft. This dish will warm you on chilly fall and winter nights.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Meat & Poultry     Beef Recipes     Brisket Recipes

Time 4h30m

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
3 1/2 pounds beef brisket, cut into 3-inch pieces
Coarse salt and ground pepper
8 shallots, halved
6 garlic cloves, smashed and peeled
3 cups dry red wine

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a large Dutch oven or heavy pot, heat 2 tablespoons oil over medium-high. Season brisket with salt and pepper; in batches, cook, turning occasionally, until dark brown on all sides, about 20 minutes total. Transfer brisket to a plate and discard fat from pot. Return pot to heat and add 2 teaspoons oil and shallots; cook, stirring, until shallots are browned, 3 minutes. Add garlic and cook, stirring, until fragrant, 1 minute.
  • Add wine and simmer rapidly until reduced by three-fourths, about 15 minutes. Return beef to pot and add just enough water to cover meat (5 to 6 cups). Bring to a boil, cover, then place pot in oven. Cook until beef is tender, 3 1/2 to 4 hours.

RED-WINE BRAISED BEEF BRISKET W. HORSERADISH SAUCE (SARA MOULTON



Red-Wine Braised Beef Brisket W. Horseradish Sauce (Sara Moulton image

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.

Time 7h15m

Yield 10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 19

1 head garlic, large, separated into cloves but not peeled
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
5 lbs beef brisket (preferably the 2nd cut also called the point cut)
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 large onions, thinly sliced
3 cups dry red wine
1/4 cup tomato paste
2 dried bay leaves (preferably Turkish)
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 quart chicken stock (preferably homemade)
1/2 cup horseradish, finely grated fresh (or drained prepared)
1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
1 cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon fresh chives, snipped
1 tablespoon lemon juice
kosher salt, to taste
ground black pepper, to taste

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!

Tips:

  • For the perfect braising experience, select a Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot with a tight-fitting lid. This will help create a moist and flavorful environment for the brisket.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different types of red wine. A full-bodied wine like Cabernet Sauvignon or Merlot will add depth and richness to the braising liquid. You may need to decrease the amount of wine in the recipe if you go with a sweeter wine, and add extra if you choose a drier wine.
  • Sear the brisket before braising it. This will help develop a beautiful crust and lock in the juices. If you skip this step, your beef will still be delicious, but it might not be quite as tender.
  • Add plenty of vegetables to the braising liquid. They will add flavor and nutrients to the dish. Some good options include onions, carrots, celery, and garlic.
  • Season the brisket generously with salt and pepper. You can also add other spices, such as thyme, rosemary, or bay leaves.
  • Braise the brisket for at least 3 hours, or until it is fall-apart tender. The longer you cook it, the more flavorful it will be.
  • Serve the brisket with a flavorful sauce. The horseradish sauce included in this recipe is a great option, but you can also use a simple pan sauce made from the braising liquid.
  • For the aunt Rifka's flying disks, be sure to purchase wonton wrappers or eggroll wrappers that are soft and pliable, as they will be easier to seal and fry. Experiment with fillings to create a variety of unique and delicious disks.

Conclusion:

Whether you're looking for a comforting and hearty meal or a fun and creative snack, the recipes in this article have something for everyone. The red wine braised beef brisket is a classic dish that is perfect for a special occasion, while the aunt Rifka's flying disks are a playful and delicious appetizer that is sure to be a hit at your next party.
