A delightful twist on a classic beef brisket recipe, enhanced with a citrus herb sauce for a flavorful and tender dish.
Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).
Preheating the oven ensures even cooking from the start.
Place the beef brisket in a roasting pan.
Ensure the brisket fits comfortably in the pan for even cooking.
In a mixing bowl, combine the red wine, orange juice, honey, thyme, rosemary, salt, and black pepper.
Mix thoroughly to ensure the flavors are well blended.
Pour the sauce mixture over the brisket in the roasting pan.
Ensure the brisket is evenly coated with the sauce.
Add the chopped onion, carrot, and celery around the brisket.
Distribute the vegetables evenly for balanced flavor.
Cover the roasting pan with aluminum foil and place it in the oven.
Covering the pan helps retain moisture during cooking.
Baste the brisket with the sauce every hour.
Basting keeps the brisket moist and flavorful.
Once cooked, remove the brisket from the oven and let it rest for 20 minutes.
Resting allows the juices to redistribute, making the meat tender.
Slice the brisket thinly against the grain and serve with the sauce and vegetables.
Slicing against the grain ensures tender pieces.
