Beef Brisket Pot Roast Recipe

What you'll need:

• 1.2kg beef brisket, rolled and tied
• 5 tbsp sunflower oil
• 2 quartered onions
• 2 thinly sliced onions
• 3 sprigs of thyme
• 1 bay leaf
• 500ml beef stock
• 2 tbsp tomato puree
• 200ml red wine
• 4 large carrots, cut into chunks
• 6 celery stalks, cut into 4cm pieces
• Salt and pepper

Time: 2 hours

Serves: 6

Method

First

First of all, make your brisket. Take a casserole dish, and heat up 2 tbsp of oil. Add the beef, and brown on all sides for 10 minutes. Remove from the casserole, and set aside.

Second

Into the same casserole dish, add the sliced onions and cook until browned for about 5 minutes. Stir in the bay leaf and thyme, and then bring the beef back to the dish. Into the beef stock, stir the tomato puree, and then pour around the beef. Tip in the wine and bring to a simmer on the hob. Cover, stick it in the oven, and cook for 1.5 hours at 160C.

Third

Take a frying pan, and heat up another tbsp of oil. Add the quartered onions, and fry for 5 minutes, then throw in the celery and carrots, and cook for a further 5 minutes. You want the onions softened, and the veggies slightly browned.

Fourth

Remove the casserole dish from the oven, and nestle the vegetables all around the beef. Cover, and return to the oven for another 1.5 hours. When ready, take the beef from the dish and carve into slices. Serve with the poached vegetables, and that rich, thick cooking sauce. Yum!

Wine Match

For the perfect wine pairing, crack open a bottle of a classic South Aussie Shiraz, the Redden Bridge Shiraz 2013 This is a wine that was built for beef! Yum!
