Time 3h40m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 (4-pound) beef brisket, trimmed of fat
Salt
3 tablespoons mixed whole peppercorns, crushed with a meat mallet or bottom of heavy skillet
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 cup baby carrots
4 medium red potatoes, quartered
4 shallots, cut into wedges
8 cloves garlic, peeled
2 tablespoons chopped fresh rosemary leaves
2 cups red wine
2 cups reduced-sodium beef broth

Steps:

  • Season brisket all over with salt and crushed peppercorns. In a shallow dish, with a spoon, combine flour and garlic powder. Roll brisket in flour mixture to coat.
  • Heat oil in a large Dutch oven or stock pot over medium-high heat. Add brisket and cook for 5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown on all sides. Arrange carrots, potatoes, shallots, garlic, and rosemary around brisket. Pour wine over vegetables and cook for 1 minute. Add broth and bring to a simmer. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover and cook for 3 hours, until beef is tender. Remove brisket from pot and let stand for 10 minutes before slicing crosswise into thin slices.
  • Shred and reserve 2 cups beef for soft tacos, if desired.
  • Serve sliced beef with vegetables, shallots, garlic, and liquid from pot spooned over top.
