Instructions
| Step | Description |
|---|---|
| 1 | Rub Salt and Pepper: Begin by generously rubbing salt and pepper all over the beef brisket, ensuring it’s evenly coated with seasoning. |
| 2 | Brown Brisket: In a large pan, heat some oil over medium-high heat. Brown the brisket on all sides until it develops a golden crust, then transfer it to a plate to cool slightly. |
| 3 | Prepare Vegetables: While the brisket cools, prep your vegetables. Slice the onions, carrots, garlic cloves, and green pepper, and chop the parsley. |
| 4 | Assemble Casserole: Preheat your oven to 160°C (320°F). In a large casserole dish, pour in the pan drippings from browning the brisket. Layer the sliced onions, carrots, garlic, green pepper, and chopped parsley in the dish. |
| 5 | Season: Sprinkle celery salt, dried thyme, and dried oregano over the vegetables, ensuring they’re well-seasoned for maximum flavor. |
| 6 | Add Brisket: Carefully place the browned brisket on top of the bed of vegetables in the casserole dish. |
| 7 | Pour in Wine and Stock: Slowly pour the red wine and stock into the casserole dish, ensuring it surrounds the brisket and vegetables. This will infuse the dish with rich, savory flavors as it cooks. |
| 8 | Cover and Bake: Loosely cover the casserole dish with foil, sealing in the flavors, and bake in the preheated oven for 1 1/2 hours. This slow cooking process allows the brisket to become tender and flavorful. |
| 9 | Turn Meat: After 1 1/2 hours, carefully remove the foil and turn the brisket over in the dish. This ensures even cooking and flavor distribution. |
| 10 | Continue Baking: Return the dish to the oven, uncovered, and continue baking for an additional 2 hours, or until the brisket is fork-tender and falls apart easily. |
| 11 | Serve: Once the brisket is done, remove it from the oven and transfer it to a serving platter. Pour over a little of the gravy from the casserole dish, and thicken the remaining gravy if desired. |
| 12 | Enjoy: Slice the tender, succulent brisket and serve it alongside the flavorful vegetables and gravy. Enjoy this hearty meal with your loved ones, savoring every delicious bite. |
Indulge in the comforting flavors of this slow-cooked masterpiece, perfect for a leisurely weekend meal that’s sure to leave everyone at the table satisfied and eagerly looking forward to the next time it graces your dinner menu.
