Use this basic recipe to makePappardelle with Slow-Cooked Brisket.

Ingredients

4–6 servings

2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1.5kg (3 1/3 pounds) beef brisket, trimmed and cut into 4 pieces
1 onion, finely chopped
3 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
1 cup (250ml) red wine
2 cups (500ml) beef stock
2 cups (500ml) water
3 cups (750ml) tomato purée (passata)
6 bay leaves
Sea salt and cracked black pepper
  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F).

    Step 2

    Heat half the oil in a large ovenproof heavy-based saucepan over medium heat. Add the beef and cook for 4–5 minutes each side or until browned. Remove from the pan and set aside.

    Step 3

    Add the remaining oil, the onion and garlic to the pan and cook, stirring, for 4–5 minutes or until softened.

    Step 4

    加酒,煮3 - 4分钟或直到红色uced by half. Add the stock, water, puree, bay leaves, salt and pepper and stir to combine. Return the beef to the pan, with any juices, and bring to a simmer.

    Step 5

    Cover with a tight-fitting lid, transfer to the oven and cook, turning the beef halfway through cooking time, for 3 hours or until very tender.

    Step 6

    Remove the beef from the sauce and place on a tray. Using 2 forks, shred the meat. Return the beef to the sauce and stir to combine. Remove and discard the bay leaves to serve.

  2. Tip

    Step 7

    This slow-cooked brisket can be made 2–3 days in advance. It freezes well, too—simply thaw and reheat to serve.

Note

By cutting the beef into 4 pieces before you begin, you reduce the time it takes to cook. For beautifully tender beef that's evenly cooked, ensure you turn it over halfway through the cooking time.

  • Loved this HOWEVER. The 180 degrees seemed very wrong especially since I cooked this for 4 hours and it was like a rock. I put it on the stove and simmered it for another 1.5 to 2 hours and it was delicious. I have done other briskets in Dutch ovens and the temperature is always higher!!!

  • This was absolutely delish! I pureed the sauce before I added the beef back in. Amazing on the tagliatelle.
