Wine-Braised Beef Brisket

Dish Description
This is yummy the day you make it, but is even more delicious the next day.
Ingredients
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 (3 pound) beef brisket
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 red onion, sliced
  • 1 (14.5 ounce) can beef broth
  • 1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce
  • 1/2 cup red wine

Directions
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Mix thyme, salt, and black pepper in a small bowl and rub the mixture over both sides of brisket.
  • Heat olive oil in a roasting pan over medium-high heat; place brisket in the hot oil and brown on both sides, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Remove brisket from pan and set aside.
  • Place red onion slices into the hot roasting pan and cook and stir until onion is slightly softened, about 2 minutes. Stir in beef broth, tomato sauce, and wine.
  • Place the brisket back into the roasting pan and cover pan with foil.
  • Roast the brisket in the preheated oven for 1 hour; remove foil and baste brisket with pan juices. Place foil back over roasting pan and roast brisket until very tender and pan sauce has thickened, 1 1/2 to 2 more hours.
