Hairy Bikers Pot Roast Brisket Ingredients

• 4-pound beef brisket with a 1/3-inch layer of fat
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper
• 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
• 5 garlic cloves, smashed
• 2 medium onions, coarsely chopped
• 2 medium carrots, coarsely chopped
• 1 celery rib, coarsely chopped

• 1 can (14 ounces) whole plum tomatoes, drained
• 3 cups low-sodium chicken broth

How To Make Hairy Bikers Pot Roast Brisket

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C).
2. Season Brisket: Sprinkle the brisket with salt and pepper.
3. Brown Brisket: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Place the brisket in the skillet, fat side down, and cook until it is richly browned (about 5 minutes). Turn it over and brown the other side (about 5 minutes). Transfer the browned brisket, fat side up, to a roasting pan.
4. Cook Vegetables: In the same skillet, add the garlic, onions, carrots, and celery. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are soft (about 10 minutes).
5. Add Herbs and Spices: Add the bay leaves, rosemary, and chiles. Stir and cook for 2 minutes.
6. Add Wine and Tomatoes: Pour in the red wine and bring to a boil. Let it boil until reduced by half (about 6 minutes). Add the drained tomatoes and simmer over low heat for 15 minutes.
7. Combine and Braise: Pour the vegetable mixture over and around the brisket in the roasting pan. In the same skillet, bring the chicken broth to a simmer, then pour it around the brisket.
8. Cook in Oven: Cover the roasting pan with foil and place it in the oven. Cook until the brisket is very tender (about 3 hours).
9. Prepare Sauce: Remove the brisket from the roasting pan and cover it with foil to keep warm. Strain the contents of the roasting pan through a coarse strainer into a large saucepan, pushing the vegetables through. Boil the sauce over high heat until reduced to about 3 1/4 cups (about 20 minutes). Season the sauce with salt and pepper to taste.
10. Serve: Slice the brisket into 1/3-inch thick slices. Pour some sauce over the slices to keep them moist. Serve the remaining sauce on the side.

Recipe Tips

• Pick a Good Brisket: Get a brisket with a nice layer of fat (about 1/3-inch thick). This keeps it juicy and tasty.
• Brown the Meat Right: Don’t rush when browning the brisket. It gives great flavor to the meat and sauce.
• Cook Veggies Well: Make sure the garlic, onions, carrots, and celery are soft. This helps their flavors mix into the sauce.
• Reduce Wine Properly: Boil the red wine until it’s half gone. This makes the sauce taste better.
• Strain the Sauce: After cooking, strain the sauce and push the veggies through. This makes the sauce flavorful.
