Ingredients:

3 tbsps

Canola Oil

1 cup

Red Wine

Directions:

1

Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F

2

In a large pot, heat the canola oil over high heat

3

When the oil begins to smoke slightly, season both sides of the brisket with salt and pepper, to taste

4

Use metal tongs to add the meat to the pot

5

If the oil is hot enough, the meat will not stick to the bottom

6

Cook, undisturbed, on its first side until browned, about 3 to 5 minutes

7

Turn over and brown on the other side, about 3 to 5 additional minutes

8

Remove the meat from the pot and put it onto a baking sheet to rest

9

Combine the garlic paste and green onions in a small bowl

10

Spread half of the mixture over the brisket

11

Flip the meat and add the remaining mixture to the other side

12

Set aside

13

In the same pot, over low heat and add the parsnips

14

Season them with a little salt and a scant 1 tablespoon brown sugar

15

Stir to coat with the oil and cook until slightly tender, about 2 to 3 minutes

16

Add in 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar and the leeks and gently brown them, about 3 to 5 minutes

17

Adjust the seasonings with salt

18

Pour in the wine and let it reduce for 5 minutes

19

Sprinkle the vegetables with the remaining 1/4 cup of brown sugar and another pinch of salt

20

Cook them until browned, another 3 to 5 minutes

21

Add the brisket to the pot and stir in 2 to 3 cups of the beef stock

22

Bring the stock to a gentle simmer

23

Slide it into the center of the oven and cook for 1 hour

24

Check the level of the liquid, adding water, if needed

25

Remove the pot from the oven, taste and re-season, if needed

26

Return the pot to the oven and cook the brisket until the meat is tender when pierced with a fork, an additional 1 to 1 1/2 hours (see Cook's Note)

27

Remove the pot from the oven and transfer the meat to a platter

28

Arrange the vegetables alongside and ladle the sauce on top
