Serve this sliced with the sauce for dinner. Or, shred it for sandwiches or sliders.
Blue Ribbon Recipe
Wow, this is some brisket recipe. Searing the meat before cooking it in the oven is the key. The sear helps to keep the juices inside. The result is some juicy brisket. The wine sauce and veggies infuse the brisket with incredible flavor. We loved the cleverness of blending the veggies and returning it to the sauce to create a gravy. The gravy is delicious and excellent mixed with the shredded brisket. Keep a little gravy on the side for dipping too. Whether served as slices or shredded, this brisket is so good.

- Put the brisket back in the pan, and cover with the bottle of red wine, beer, and ginger ale.

- Remove carrots and onions with a slotted spoon and blend in a food processor with 1 cup cooking liquid.
