Recipe Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350F. Line large shallow pan with foil, extending over sides by at least four inches.

2. With hands, rub brisket with garlic, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp pepper. Spread half the onions in the bottom of the roasting pan. Sprinkle with dried tomatoes. Mix wine and vinegar together and pour into pan. Top with beef, fat side up. Cover with remaining onions. Crimp foil loosely around but not over the beef.

3. Cover pan with more foil, crimping tightly over the edges, (or use a roasting pan with a lid). Bake for four hours.

4. Meanwhile in a large bowl, combine remaining vegetables, butter, thyme and remaining salt and pepper. Spread vegetables evenly in a jelly roll pan. Cover with foil and crimp to seal on edges. After two hours of roasting beef, add vegetable dish to oven. After an hour, uncover vegetables and cook for the remaining hour. Stir the vegetables once or twice during the last hour.

5. When beef is done cooking, scrape onions off the top and carefully transfer the meat to a cutting board. Cover with foil to keep warm.

6. Make gravy: With slotted spoon, remove 1 cup onions and tomatoes from pan. Remove 1/2 cup liquid. In a food processor, combine the remaining juices and vegetables and blend until smooth. Pour into a sauce pan, add reserved juices and vegetables and black pepper to taste. Over low heat, keep hot.

7. Cut brisket diagonally into 3/8 inch thick slices. Use a spatula to transfer the meat to a serving platter. Spoon vegetables beside roast. Pour gravy into a gravy boat and serve with meat and vegetables.

8. Makes about 8 servings of meat and vegetables, and 4 cups of gravy.
