Bottle of Wine Braised Brisket

Bottle of Wine Braised Brisket

This Bottle of Wine Braised Brisket is the perfect main-course when entertaining! While the cook time may be long, the preparation is simple and it turns out delicious every time! It also feeds a very large amount of people and it is a TOTAL crowdpleaser. 

I once made this recipe for a group dinner that I was catering (something I don’t normally do, for the record… it was for a charity auction). When I made it the first time I actually cooked it at an even lower temperature overnight and it was outstanding! I knew it would make most people a little nervous to cook the meat overnight (I myself was a little worried and woke up a few times to check on the brisket, ha), but I knew I just had to recreate the same recipe to share with you all to make this holiday season. With this cooking method, the brisket is made in about 4 hours and it is still fall-apart tender and absolutely delicious!

Bottle of Wine Braised Brisket

The ‘bottle of wine’ aspect might make you a little skeptical but let me assure you it adds such a lovely flavor to the brisket. Most of the alcohol cooks off when it’s cooking, so the brisket won’t make you drunk. The longer you cook, the more alcohol cooks out, and I have read that you have to cook food for about 3 hours to fully erase all traces of alcohol. [source: Food Network] The white wine does add brightness and acidity to the dish, which I find brings out all of the lovely flavors of the brisket, herbs, and all of the other lovely ingredients used in this dish. 

If you are really trying to serve up a 5-star restaurant quality dinner, try serving this Bottle of Wine Braised Brisket with this Mushroom Risotto. The creamy, starchy base topped with the rich, flavorful braised beef is a force to be reckoned with. Serve it with this lovely butter lettuce salad and you have yourself the best dinner!!!

Prep Time20 minutes
Cook Time4 hours
Total Time4 hours 20 minutes

Ingredients

  • 4 - 4.5 lbs. Flat-Cut Brisket
  • 3 teaspoons kosher Salt
  • 2 teaspoons black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • ¼ cup flour
  • ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 cups diced yellow onion or 1 large onion
  • 1 cup diced celery or 2 stalks
  • ¾ cup diced carrot or 1 large carrot
  • 3 cloves garlic thinly sliced
  • 2 tbsp tomato paste
  • 2 tbsp grainy dijon
  • 1 bottle of dry white wine I use a chardonnay
  • 1 cup beef or chicken broth
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 2 sprigs rosemary
  • 5 sprigs thyme
  • kitchen twine

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 300 degrees.
  • Cut the brisket in half, crosswise. Season the beef all over with the salt, pepper, and smoked paprika and using your hands, rub the seasoning into the meat evenly. Next, sprinkle the flour over the meat and rub into the meat so that it evenly coats the beef on all sides.
  • Heat the olive oil in a large dutch oven over medium heat. When hot, sear the beef (you’ll do this in two batches) so that it is golden brown on both sides, about 3 to 4 minutes per side. Transfer the browned meat to a plate and set aside until both pieces of the meat are browned.
  • Add the onion, celery, carrot and garlic and cook, stirring, until the veggies are just tender, 5 to 7 minutes.
  • Add the tomato paste and dijon mustard and stir to combine. While stirring, slowly pour in the white wine until well combined. Next, add the broth.
  • Nestle the browned brisket into the sauce. Add the bay leaves. Using some kitchen twine, make a small bouquet of the thyme and rosemary by tying a little bow around sprigs. Add that to the sauce.
  • Cover with a tight fitting lid and transfer to the oven. Bake until the brisket is fork tender, about 4 hours.
  • Transfer the cooked brisket to a large sheet pan and using two forks, shred the brisket. Discard the bay leaves and the herb bouquet. Using a spoon, spoon out any excess fat that has accumulated at the top of the sauce. Place the shredded beef back into the pot and toss with the remaining sauce in the skillet.
  • Serve and enjoy!

    This is the only roast recipe I will ever use again! I couldn’t find a brisket that was smaller than 8 lbs (and we’re a family of 2), so I subbed a chuck roast and it was amazing!! Served over polenta the first time and as more of a “ragu” with gnocchi for dinner the next night. Highly recommend the gnocchi option. My husband said it was his favorite thing I’ve ever made!

    I had to triple this recipe and the Creamy Mushroom Risotto for a large dinner party this evening. I ended up using my Nesco electric roaster pan to fit it all in, and it worked amazing. The cook time was about 5.5 hrs, I think because I made so much. But it turned out the same as when I made a smaller batch in my dutch oven. Everyone loved it and thought I had it catered. Thank you!

    Hi Alex! I accidentally bought a red wine instead of white. Do you think it will still work out? Maybe add less red since it’s stronger in flavor?

    If we’re serving fewer people and cooking a smaller brisket (about 2.5 lbs instead of 4-4.5), would you recommend halving the vegetables/sauce also or would the flavor still it work well with “extra” sauce if we went with original measurements besides the beef?

    • Reply
      Alex
      August 9, 2022 at 10:27 pm

      Yes, I think if you half it all it should work well– I worry the sauce won’t thicken if you keep the ratios the same and half the amount of the brisket.

          If closer to 2.5 pounds, it may be done after 2.5-3 hours; I would check it around hour 2 to see how tender it is and continue cooking as needed.

        Hi! I made this a few weeks ago and it was wonderful! I’m making it for New Years and serving more people. Would I double the recipe for a 6-8lb piece of brisket? Or how would you alter the recipe for a larger piece of meat? Thank you!

      I haven’t yet made this in the IP so I am not positive. The beauty of cooking it in the oven is the sauce cooks down and is perfectly thick and the flavor really seeps into the meat when cooking low and slow. I think the sauce would be much thinner in the IP, even though I am sure it’d still be good. Sorry I don’t have an exact cook time to help guide you here.

      Hi! yes– and I do think you’ll need to do two dutch ovens– maybe if it’s doubled it will all fit but I worry it may not with how big the meat is/how much liquid. Separating it would be best if you have 2 dutch ovens to ensure it’s all perfect!

    First of all this is an awesome recipe.; maybe my favorite thing I’ve ever made (paired with the risotto and the black truffle vinaigrette salad). My question is this: do you think this would be good with chicken? I was going to make this for friends visiting, however I learned one of them isn’t a fan of beef (crazy, I know). Should I just go with the pot roast chicken recipe, or do you think this would work with chicken? Thanks!

      You could lightly dust the brisket (before browning) with a little cayenne pepper. I wouldn’t do more than 1/2 tsp total! it’ll give it a touch of heat!

    Absolutely loved this. I used a 3.25 on brisket in my 5.5 qt Dutch oven and didn’t change anything else in the recipe and it was perfect! I unfortunately couldn’t find a flat cut so the brisket I used was much fattier than I would have preferred. I’ll definitely keep an eye out for flat cut or a different roast cut to use next time. But the flavors were just amazing and it was EASY. Served it with your mushroom risotto and there were no leftovers!!

            Do you use the same measurement for the cassava flour?

    Does the brisket need to be trimmed at all? . I got a flat brisket but it has a thick layer of fat on one side.

      I can’t say for sure that cooking this in the pyrex or roasting will turn out perfectly with this cook time/temperature. I haven’t yet tried it yet, I am sorry.
      If you do try it in one of the two, be sure to wrap it super tight and seal it very very well with foil. I would recommend using a crockpot before using a pyrex and/or roasting pan to ensure it doesn’t dry out 🙂 I’d do low for 8 hours with thee crockpot.

    Do you think arrowroot powder could be used in place of the flour?

      I recommend cassava. But if you use arrowroot you’ll just need 2-3 tablespoons

      Hi. Excited to try this. Could you make this ahead of time (like one day before) and slowing reheat?
      Thanks!

        Definitely!! When reheating, I’d add 1/2 cup or so of broth, toss to coat, and heat on low heat (somewhere between 275-300) until nice and warm.

    It was ridiculous. Like, unfair how good it was. Goodbye dreams of a diet in the new year, because I ate 2 plates and I’m gonna make it again next week.

    Alex’s recipes are always on point, but this one was off the charts. Simple but so flavorful! We halved the recipe for 3 of us and it got devoured even by my six year old. Make it with the risotto and it’s better than any restaurant, I promise.

      When you halved the recipe, did you just simply use half of each ingredient or did you use the full amount for any? I have a 2 lb brisket since this is just going to be a weeknight meal for me and my husband and maybe my toddler. Thanks!

    Making this tonight with the risotto and I’m so excited! I am using a smaller brisket (a little over 3 pounds). Do you know what temp it should be? I’m going to check it around the 3 hour mark.

      Chuck roast should work well here! Depending on how heavy the roast is, the cook time will be similar.

        It should work fine if you half it! and I think you can cut the time back by about 1 hour.

    If I’m feeding 5 people, do I need a 4lb brisket? They aren’t heavy eaters. If I use a smaller one, by how much would I cut the cook time? Also, we cooking through your book and absolutely love everything. Last night’s blueberry sauce over filet with cauliflower mash was devine!

      December 15, 2020 at 1:41 am

      You could definitely cut down to 2.5-3 lbs of brisket. I am not positive on cook time, but I would still do about 3 hours.
      So glad you are enjoying the book!
