Directions
  • Step #1 PREPARE THE ROAST:.
  • Step #2 Preheat oven to 325°F.
  • Step #3 On a cutting board, mash the garlic & 1/2 tsp of the salt together with the flat side of a knife into a paste form.
  • Step #4 Add the rosemary & continue to mash until incorporated.
  • Step #5 Put the garlic-rosemary paste in a small bowl & add 2 tbsps of olive oil; stir this to mix.
  • Step #6 Spice up both sides of the brisket with a fair amount of kosher salt & ground black pepper.
  • Step #7 Dust brisket generously with flour.
  • Step #8 Place a large roasting pan or Dutch oven over medium-high flame & coat with the remaining olive oil.
  • Step #9 Put the brisket in the roasting pan & sear to form a nice brown crust on both sides.
  • Step #10 Lay the vegetables all around the brisket & pour the rosemary paste over the whole thing.
  • Step #11 Add the wine & tomatoes; the parsley, thyme & bay leaves.
  • Step #12 Cover up the pan tightly with aluminum foil wrap & transfer to the oven.
  • Step #13 Bake for about 3 to 4 hrs, basting every 30 mins with the pan juices until the beef is fork tender.
  • Step #14 Remove the brisket to a cutting board & let it rest for 15 mins.
  • Step #15 Strain the stock & spoon out the excess fat.
  • Step #16 PREPARE THE MUSHROOMS:.
  • Step #17 Meanwhile, prepare the mushrooms.
  • Step #18 Heat up a large sauté pan & approximately 2 tbsps of olive oil.
  • Step #19 Add the sliced garlic, the mushrooms & thyme.
  • Step #20 Cook until a nice light brown color develops then add brisket stock & continue to simmer & reduce -- mixture should be thick enough to coat the back of a wooden spoon.
  • Step #21 When thickened, finish with the horseradish, sour cream & season to taste with salt & freshly ground black pepper.
  • Step #22 To serve, slice the brisket across the grain (the muscle lines) at a slight diagonal & top this with the creamy wild mushrooms.
