Pomegranate Red Wine Brisket

Pomegranate Red Wine Brisket is a simple recipe that anyone can make. Your brisket will come out of the oven absolutely melting apart, surrounded by a flavorful, creamy gravy.  

I was on a mission.  I needed a brisket that could be served for  a major holiday. And to me, if it’s not falling apart, then it’s just not a good brisket.  As usual, I experimented on my dinner guests. And the reviews were astounding. One of our guests was telling another over lunch the next day, “you really missed out last night...really, really missed out.”  

I was so happy to hear that it was a meal to be remembered.  And the star of that meal was THIS Pomegranate Red Wine Brisket. When I was working on the sauce recipe, I had a concept in my mind to make an instant gravy.  Typically if I wanted a gravy, I would make one from the juices after the meat was cooked. On Shabbat, that is not possible. So, I needed a sauce that would render tender juicy meat and make its own gravy.  After thorough recipe development, I can attest that my Pomegranate Red Wine Brisket recipe is completely reliable. You will have tender meat and a delicious gravy every time.
