Braised Brisket

“Don’t let the long cooking time dissuade you from trying this recipe. Low and slow is the way to go with brisket. If you put it in the oven at noon, it’s ready by dinner, giving you plenty of time to enjoy a glass of Homestead Red Blend while the oven does all the work.”

– Tim Gleadall, AVV Culinary Director & Chef
