  • Prep 20 min
  • Total 3 hr 30 min
  • Servings 12

Ingredients

  • 1 fresh beef brisket (not corned beef), 3 lb
  • 1 1/2 cups white wine vinegar
  • 1 bottle (12 oz) chili sauce
  • 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil leaves
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 medium onions, thinly sliced
  • Chopped parsley, if desired

Steps

  • 1
    Place beef in resealable food-storage plastic bag or 3-quart casserole, cutting beef in half if necessary to fit. In medium bowl, stir vinegar, chili sauce, brown sugar, basil and salt until well blended. Pour over beef; turn to coat. Seal bag or cover casserole; refrigerate, turning beef once, at least 8 hours but no longer than 24 hours to marinate.
  • 2
    Heat oven to 325°F. Place beef and marinade in 4-quart Dutch oven or 3-quart casserole. Place onions over top; cover. Roast 2 hours, brushing beef twice with marinade.
  • 3
    Remove cover; roast 1 hour longer, brushing beef frequently with marinade, until beef is tender. Cover and let stand 10 minutes.
  • 4
    To serve, cut beef across grain into thin slices; arrange on serving platter. With slotted spoon, place onions over beef. Sprinkle with parsley. Discard cooking liquid.

  • Brisket is a less tender cut of beef. Marinade it and cook it slowly for a delicious and tender meal!
  • Marinating the brisket the night before saves time in the morning—and the unattended cooking leaves you more time for the rest of the dinner and visiting with your guests.
