Mom's Marinara Wine Brisket
My mother showed me how to make this easy recipe a few years ago and it is my husband's favorite so far. It goes well with white rice. Update! Cindytc's review was for 4 lbs. Brisket and for that amount ot meat, you could use 1 onion soup packet, 1 jar of marinara and 1 cup of red wine. I have now altered the recipe, since her review, to 8 lbs. Of meat (i sometimes use 4 smaller briskets). I like it with sauce. you can also make this in the crockpot on low heat for about 6 hours or until tender when checked with a fork. Enjoy!!
Steps
Preheat oven to 350 degrees f.
Place the brisket in a dutch oven or covered roasting pan.
Sprinkle meat with the salt , garlic and onion packet all over.
Now add the marina sauce and wine.
Turn meat a few times to coat.
Cook 3 hours , turning meat after 1 1 / 2 hours.
The meat will be done when it is tender when pierced with a fork.
Remove brisket to a cutting board and let cool a bit for easier cutting.
Cut meat on the diagonal of the grain.
Return meat to sauce and serve.
It is also great the next day and it freezes well.
