Braised Beef Brisket

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

Make a Braised Beef Brisket worthy of a special family meal. This recipe slow roasts brisket in an aromatic red wine braise that will leave the meat both tender and delicious. This is a recipe you'll save for special occasions or when you just want something absolutely delicious! Don't be afraid of the cook time, this is a hands off recipe!

What is brisket

Brisket is a cut of beef that comes from the chest of the animal and has a lot of connective tissue. This means that while it takes a substantial amount of cook time to become tender, it is one of the most tender, flavorful cuts of meat that falls apart easily. Brisket is a common cut used in BBQ, as well as in corned beef, but it can also be used in braises as well.

How to cook brisket in an oven

Brisket usually has a connotation of being barbequed, however it can easily be prepared in the oven. In this recipe I used my dutch oven, but I've also used large baking dishes covered tightly in aluminum foil as well. You'll want a dish that can hold both braising liquid and brisket as well as having a tight seal so that the liquid doesn't escape and evaporate. Cooking brisket in the oven ensures equal heat throughout the cookware, however a crock pot could work in a pinch.

How to cook brisket

Braised brisket is a set it and forget it meal. Once everything is combined and in the oven, there's nothing else to do other than let it cook. This is good for when you need a recipe that allows you some time to clean up before guests arrive or to get other things done while it's cooking. This also means that this is the type of recipe that you need to plan in advance, as there's not many ways to speed up the cooking process.
