Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year, is a time of reflection, repentance, and celebration. One of the most beloved traditions during this holiday is the preparation and sharing of delicious meals with family and friends. In this recipe, we’ll be creating a mouthwatering dish that perfectly captures the flavors and spirit of Rosh Hashanah – Honey Glazed Brisket.
Ingredients:
– 1 (4-5 lb) beef brisket
– 1 large onion, sliced
– 4 cloves of garlic, minced
– 1 cup beef broth
– 1/2 cup honey
– 1/4 cup Dijon mustard
– 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
– 1 teaspoon paprika
– Salt and pepper to taste
– Fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C).
2. Season the brisket generously with salt and pepper on both sides.
3. In a large Dutch oven or roasting pan, heat some oil over medium-high heat. Sear the brisket on both sides until nicely browned, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove the brisket from the pan and set aside.
4. In the same pan, add the sliced onions and cook until they start to soften, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
5. Deglaze the pan with the beef broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom. Stir in the honey, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, and paprika. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
6. Return the brisket to the pan, nestling it in the sauce. Cover the pan with a lid or aluminum foil.
7. Place the pan in the preheated oven and roast for about 3 to 3 1/2 hours, or until the brisket is fork-tender.
8. Remove the brisket from the oven and let it rest for about 15 minutes before slicing.
9. While the brisket is resting, you can skim off any excess fat from the sauce and reduce it on the stovetop to thicken.
10. Slice the brisket against the grain into thin slices and serve with the reduced sauce. Garnish with fresh parsley for a pop of color and freshness.
This Honey Glazed Brisket is a perfect main dish for your Rosh Hashanah feast. The sweetness of the honey, the tanginess of the mustard, and the richness of the beef all come together to create a dish that is sure to impress your guests and leave them coming back for seconds. Enjoy this comforting and flavorful recipe as you gather around the table to celebrate the New Year with your loved ones. Happy cooking and Shanah Tovah!
