Beef Brisket With Burgundy-Orange Sauce
- 1 envelope onion soup mix
- 1 1/2 cups Burgundy wine
- 1/4 cup water
- 2 tablespoons flour
- 1 tablespoon dried basil
- 2 teaspoons dried thyme
- 1/3 cup orange marmalade
- 1 1/2 teaspoons grated orange rind
- 2 teaspoons sugar
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 4 lbs beef brisket
- 1 lb mushroom, cut into quarters
- Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F.
- In a roaster into which the brisket fits comfortably, stir together the soup mix, wine, water and flour until blended.
- Stir in the basil, thyme, marmalade, orange peel, sugar, garlic and pepper.
- Add the brisket, spooning some of the sauce over the top and distributing the mushrooms evenly around the brisket.
- Cover and bake for 4 hours, basting every hour, until tender when pierced with a fork.
- If the sauce bubbles too rapidly, reduce the oven temperature to 275 degrees.
- Remove from the oven and place the brisket on a sheet of heavy foil.
- Pour the sauce into a bowl, cover, and refrigerate.
- When the brisket is cool, wrap in foil and refrigerate.
- Remove solidified fat from the sauce and discard.
- Slice the brisket thinly against the grain.
- Overlap slices in a shallow, ovenproof dish that is just large enough to hold them.
- Pour the sauce over the meat and heat in the oven until hot and bubbly.
- Serve to thankful guests.
