Ingredients
1/4
cup packed brown sugar
3
cloves garlic, finely chopped
1
cup red wine
3/4
cup chili sauce
1/4
cup ketchup
3
tablespoons apple cider vinegar
1
brisket (3 1/2 lb), trimmed
Salt and pepper
3
onions, thinly sliced
3
sprigs fresh thyme
Preparation
Heat oven to 300°F. In small bowl, mix brown sugar, garlic, wine, chili sauce, ketchup and vinegar with whisk until well blended. Set aside.
Heat 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat 2 minutes. Pat beef brisket dry with paper towel; season with salt and pepper on each side. Sear beef 2 minutes on one side (beef will develop a dark crust). Turn beef; sear on other side.
Place beef in large roasting pan. Cover with sauce, sliced onions and thyme sprigs. Cover with foil; bake 3 hours.
Let beef stand 10 minutes. Cut across grain into slices. Serve with cooked onions and pan drippings.
