Brisket is a true holiday staple. For this recipe, I tried swapping red wine for white wine and I love how it came out!

Prepare the White Wine Mushroom Brisket
-
Let the brisket sit out and come to room temperature (one hour). Rub the brisket with oil and season with salt and pepper.
-
In a hot, heavy pot, sear the seasoned brisket on both sides (about four minutes per side). Set aside the brisket.
-
In the same pan over medium heat, add one tablespoon oil, onion, shallots, and garlic. Season with salt and pepper.
-
When that turns golden (about four to five minutes), add in baby bella and oyster mushrooms.
-
When the mushrooms start to soften, raise the flame to high and deglaze the pan with two cups white wine. Once it comes to a boil, let it reduce on low for five minutes.
-
Add in two cups beef or chicken stock. Nestle the brisket back in and top with fresh thyme leaves.
-
Cover and place it in the oven on 300 degrees Fahrenheit for four hours (until fork tender). Every hour, spoon some sauce over the meat.
Brisket tips:
- ask the butcher for a brisket with a thin layer of fat on top
- look for a brisket with good marbling (thin white strips of fat running through)
- let the brisket fully cook before slicing and then nestle it back in the sauce
- I like to serve with some fresh lemon zest and chopped parsley for freshness and a hint of acid from the zest
