Mom's Marinara Wine Brisket

Ingredients

• 8 lbs beef brisket
• 1 tablespoon salt, to taste
• 1 tablespoon garlic powder, to taste

• 2 cups red wine

Directions

1. 1

   Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

2. 2

   Place the brisket in a Dutch oven or covered roasting pan. (My Mom likes to pan sear the meat to "lock in the juices" but I can't tell the difference and don't usually do it).

   Sprinkle meat with the salt, garlic and onion packet all over.

4. 4

   Now add the marina sauce and wine.

5. 5

   Turn meat a few times to coat.

6. 6

   Cook 3 hours, turning meat after 1 1/2 hours.

7. 7

   The meat will be done when it is tender when pierced with a fork.

8. 8

   Remove brisket to a cutting board and let cool a bit for easier cutting.

9. 9

   Cut meat on the diagonal of the grain.

10. 10

    Return meat to sauce and serve.

11. 11

    It is also great the next day and it freezes well.
