Beef- Forty Cloves of Garlic Brisket

List of Ingredients


Active Work Time: 25 minutes * Total Preparation Time: 5 hours
Once the meat is done, mash roasted garlic cloves into pan sauce and serve with meat and mashed potatoes.
1 (6- to 7-pound) brisket
Salt, pepper
2 teaspoons paprika
1 teaspoon French mixed herbs (bouquet garni or salad herbs)
2 teaspoons garlic powder
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1/2 cup red wine, plus more if needed
1 cup beef bouillon, plus more if needed
2 to 3 heads garlic, separated into cloves but not peeled



Recipe

* Dust brisket with salt, pepper, paprika, French herbs and garlic powder and place in large roasting pan.
* Smear on mustard, then pour red wine and bouillon over brisket. Surround roast with garlic cloves.
* Cover well with foil and roast at 350 degrees until tender, about 3 to 4 hours.
* Reduce heat to 325 degrees. Once brisket is cool enough to handle, cut into 1/4-inch (or slightly thinner) slices, removing fat. Return slices to pan, spoon juices over and add bouillon and wine if required to barely cover.
* Continue roasting at 325 degrees until very tender, about 1 1/2 to 2 hours.
