1/4 cup ketchup

Brown the Brisket

1

Heat oil or duck fat in a large, heavy-bottomed Dutch oven.  Brown brisket on all sides.  Resist the urge to “check” on the browning — Remove from heat and set aside.

Make the Marinade

2

Brown a sliced onion. Combine 1/4 cup brown sugar, 1/4 cup ketchup, 1/4 cup dry red wine, 1 tablespoon ground pepper, and rub over the meat.

Roast in the oven at 350F until tender

Cover pot tightly. Cook at 350F for about 1.5 hours, then turn over and cook for 1.5 hours or until meat is soft and tender

Slice and Serve!

Finish

Brisket is particularly delicious when served a day after cooking. If you have time, cook first then refrigerate whole; it will be much easier to slice cold.  Serve at room temperature or warm.
