Pear And Persimmon Holiday Brisket

• 3 pounds beef brisket
• 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil divided
• kosher salt
• pepper
• 1 sweet onion large, chopped
• 4 celery stalks diced
• 3 cloves garlic minced
• 2 cups beef stock
• 1/4 cup red wine
• 1 tablespoon worcestershire sauce
• 3 bay leaves
• 4 Fuyu persimmons ripe, cut into pieces
• 3 pears ripe, cut into pieces

1. Trim and score the brisket. Once your brisket is trimmed and scored, season it generously with kosher salt and cracked fresh pepper, and place it in a deep skillet or cast iron pan with 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil to sear on both sides.
2. Once seared, remove the meat from the skillet and place it into the KitchenAid(R) Multi-Cooker.
3. Place the onions and celery into the same pan with remaining olive oil and saute for about five minutes, until aromatic. Add the garlic and cook an additional minute. At this point, add the liquids, and bring them to a simmer before adding to the Multi-Cooker, along with three bay leaves.
4. Cook for 4-6 hours in the Multi-Cooker on Slow Cook High, until the meat is tender. Halfway through cooking, add the persimmons and pears. Serve brisket once cooked through to desired doneness, and cut against the grain. Top with pear and persimmon pieces.
