WINE-BRAISED BRISKET WITH TART CHERRIES



Wine-Braised Brisket with Tart Cherries image

Beef brisket is the centerpiece of many Jewish holiday meals, particularly at Passover, and every family has their favorite way of preparing it. There are countless recipes out there, but how many do you need besides your grandmother's? At least one more: This one! Why? Because the meat is slowly braised in Pinot Noir, and the cherry notes in the wine pair brilliantly with dried tart cherries, which plump up with winey beef juices to become little mini-pouches of flavor on their own. Add to that a bit of star anise, which perfumes the brisket and your home with an exotic and enticing hint of licorice. Season the mixture with the sweet-and-sour agrodolce dance of brown sugar and balsamic vinegar, and you have a brisket that is at once counterintuitively familiar and wonderfully different. Like all braised meats, brisket improves in flavor, and slices more easily, if made a day ahead and chilled (see Cooks' Notes). Editor's Note: This recipe is part of Gourmet's Modern Menu for Passover. Menu also includes Quinoa and Asparagus Salad with Mimosa Vinaigrette and Amaretto Olive Oil Cake.

Yield Makes 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

1/4 cup matzoh cake meal (see Cooks' notes)
Kosher or fine salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1 (6- to 6 1/2-pound) first- or second-cut beef brisket
3 to 4 tablespoons vegetable oil
16 medium shallots (about 1 pound); peeled, leaving root ends intact
3 large garlic cloves, finely chopped
2 cups Pinot Noir
2 cups chicken stock or reduced-sodium chicken broth
1 1/2 cups (8 ounces) dried tart cherries
2/3 cup packed dark brown sugar
2/3 cup balsamic vinegar
2 whole star anise (see Cooks' notes)
2 pounds young, slim carrots in bunches (not pre-cut variety), peeled
Special Equipment
A nonreactive large, heavy-bottomed roasting pan

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350°F with rack in middle.
  • Whisk together matzoh meal with 1 tablespoon kosher salt (2 teaspoons fine) and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Pat brisket dry and dredge in matzoh mixture, shaking off excess.
  • Set roasting pan across 2 burners and in it heat 3 tablespoons oil over medium-high heat until oil shimmers. Brown brisket (fat side down first if using first cut) on both sides, 3 to 5 minutes per side. Transfer to a large platter or rimmed baking sheet.
  • If necessary, add remaining tablespoon oil, then reduce heat to medium, and cook shallots, turning occasionally, until they begin to brown, about 2 minutes. Add garlic and cook, stirring, until fragrant, 1 minute.
  • Add wine and boil until liquid is reduced by half, then stir in chicken stock, cherries, sugar, balsamic vinegar, star anise, and 1 teaspoon kosher salt (1/2 teaspoon fine salt). Bring to a simmer and return brisket, fat side up, to pan. Cover pan tightly with heavy-duty foil or a double layer of regular foil, and braise in oven for 2 hours.
  • Meanwhile, blanch carrots in a 3-quart pot of well-salted boiling water. Drain and transfer to a bowl of ice water to stop cooking. Drain again and pat dry.
  • Add carrots to roasting pan (after meat has braised for 2 hours), then cover again tightly with foil, and continue to braise in oven, until meat is fork-tender, 1 to 1 1/2 hours more.
  • If serving soon, transfer meat to a cutting board and let it rest, loosely covered, 15 minutes, then slice meat across the grain. Skim off any excess fat from surface of sauce, then discard star anise, and season to taste with salt. Reheat sauce, then return sliced meat to sauce to reheat before serving. Serve meat with sauce and carrots on a large deep platter. (If making brisket ahead, see Cooks' Notes.)

Categories     dinner, project, main course

Time 3h20m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

6 pounds beef brisket
2 pig's feet
2 leeks, chopped
4 stalks celery, chopped
6 cloves garlic, peeled and left whole
4 carrots, chopped
4 tablespoons tomato paste
3 cups dry red wine
1/4 cup cognac
2 sprigs thyme
4 strips orange peel
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
24 small white onions
16 small white turnips
1 1/2 pounds potatoes

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Using a large casserole, brown the brisket and pour away the fat. Set the brisket aside. Add the pig's feet and brown lightly with the leeks, celery, garlic and carrots. Cook for five minutes, stirring frequently.
  • Add the tomato paste, wine, cognac, thyme and orange peel. Return the brisket to the casserole. Season with salt and pepper and distribute the vegetables evenly around and on top of the brisket.
  • Cover and bake for three hours, turning the brisket once, and basting it every half hour.
  • Meanwhile, boil the onions until the skins are soft. Drain, cool and peel.
  • Half an hour before the brisket is cooked, add the onions to the casserole. Meanwhile, peel the turnips and potatoes. If the potatoes are large, cut them into smaller cubes the same size as the turnips. Boil them until cooked, drain and keep warm.
  • Place the brisket on a heated serving platter and arrange the vegetables around it. Remove the meat from the pig's feet and add.

BRAISED BRISKET WITH PLUMS, STAR ANISE AND PORT



Braised Brisket With Plums, Star Anise and Port image

For this recipe, I added plums to the onions in the sauce for brightness, and port for sweetness. Star anise and bay leaf add depth, but you could leave them out without anyone missing them, or substitute a cinnamon stick and orange zest. And if you don't want to use port, regular red wine spiked with a few tablespoons of honey or brown sugar is a nice substitute. If you can, track down a second cut, or deckle, brisket for this dish. For lovers of fatty meat, this is brisket nirvana. It's juicy, it's succulent, it falls apart under the fork with barely a nudge. It's also as tasty as short ribs but less expensive, which is what you want when you're cooking for a large family dinner. You can't find the second cut in many supermarkets, but butchers have it if you ask.

Categories     dinner, main course

Time 6h

Yield 12 to 14 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 brisket (6 to 7 pounds), preferably second cut
2 tablespoons kosher salt
1 1/2 tablespoons black pepper
3 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
1 bunch lemon thyme or regular thyme
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
3 white onions, thinly sliced
1 cup ruby port
1/2 cup dry white wine
4 whole star anise (or 2 whole cloves)
4 whole bay leaves
2 1/2 pounds ripe but firm plums, halved and pitted
Thyme leaves, for garnish (optional)

Steps:

  • Season brisket all over with salt and pepper. Place it in a large container and cover with garlic and half the thyme sprigs. Cover and refrigerate overnight or for at least 4 hours. Let meat stand at room temperature for 30 minutes before cooking. Wipe off garlic and thyme.
  • Heat oven to 325 degrees. On the stovetop, place a very large Dutch oven over high heat. Add oil. Place brisket in pot and cook, without moving, until browned, about 7 minutes per side. (Cut meat into two chunks and sear in batches if it doesn't fit in a single layer.) Transfer to a plate.
  • Add onions to pot and reduce heat to medium-high. Cook onions, tossing occasionally, until golden brown around the edges and very tender, 15 to 20 minutes. Pour in port and wine and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot. Stir in star anise, bay leaves and remaining thyme. Scatter half the plums over the bottom of the pot and nestle brisket on top. Scatter remaining plums over meat. Cover pot and transfer to oven. Cook, turning every 30 minutes, until meat is completely fork tender, about 5 hours. After 4 hours, uncover the pot so some of the liquid can evaporate and sauce can thicken.
  • If you have time, let brisket cool completely in the pot, then refrigerate, covered, overnight. (This makes it easier to remove the fat from the top with a slotted spoon.) Reheat meat in a 300-degree oven for about 45 minutes before serving, if necessary. If sauce seems thin, remove meat from the pot and bring liquid to a simmer. Let cook until it's reduced to taste. Slice meat and serve with the plum sauce, garnished with thyme leaves if you like.
