Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons canola oil
  • 3 pounds brisket cut beef
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • All-purpose flour enough for a light dusting on the meat or Potato Starch on Passover
  • 2 onions chopped
  • 3 carrots
  • 3 stalks celery
  • 1 cup red wine
  • ½  cup chicken broth
  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 1 bay leaf

Instructions

  • Heat oil on medium heat in a large pot that you can close with a lid.
  • Rub meat with salt and pepper. Dust with flour. 
  • Place the meat in the hot oil and cook each side for a minute or so until it gets crispy and seals in the juiciness.
  • Remove the meat and add the onion, carrot , and celery.
  • Add wine, chicken broth and tomato paste. Add salt, pepper and bay leaf. Stir to get the crispy bits from the bottom of the pan.
  • Place the meat back in and cover. Turn heat to low and cook for 2-3 hours, or 50 minutes per pound of meat.*Secret insider tip: Remove the meat and let it cool before slicing. It will cut much better! Save the juice and veggies, of course. You can reheat the meat before serving.
