Ingredients

  • 1 5-6 pound beef brisket you are looking for a raw uncured piece of meat with a fat cap, not a corned beef brisket.
  • 2 tablespoons kosher salt
  • 2 teaspoons pepper
  • 1 tablespoon oil
  • 2 onions sliced
  • 1 pound mushrooms sliced
  • 1 pound turnips cubed
  • 6 cloves garlic smashed
  • 2 cups dry red wine
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 sprig fresh rosemary

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 300°. Season your brisket all over with salt and pepper. Heat a large roasting pan or dutch oven over high heat and add the oil. Place the brisket in the pot and sear the brisket for 5-8 minutes without moving it around, then flip it and do the same thing. Remove the brisket and set aside.
  • Reduce the heat to meduim. Add the mushrooms, onions, turnips, and garlic to the pot. Saute these for 5 minutes stirring often.
  • Add in the wine and 1 cup of water. Bring this to a boil while scraping off any brown bits in the pot with a wooden spoon. Simmer for 10 minutes.
  • Nestle in the brisket fat side up so the top 1/3 of it is above the liquid. Toss in the rosemary sprig and cover, cook for 3 hours.
  • Uncover and continue to cook for 1.5-2 hours. Remove from the oven, cover, and let it rest at room temp for at least 30 minutes before cutting into it or pulling it apart.
  • For serving, the first night we had a bed of mashed cauliflower and topped it with some brisket pieces, a few scoops of the mushroom/onion/turnip mix and some chives. Then place the leftover in the fridge to save for another dinner later in the week.
