For an even richer flavor, sear the brisket the day before and let it rest in the refrigerator overnight. If you don't have fresh rosemary, you can substitute 1 teaspoon of dried rosemary, but fresh is highly recommended. To make the gravy extra smooth, pass it through a fine-mesh sieve after blending. Serve with creamy mashed potatoes or polenta to soak up the delicious gravy.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPreheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Grate 1 teaspoon zest from the lemon. (5 minutes)
02
StepHeat the olive oil in a roasting pan over medium-high heat. Add the beef and cook until well browned on both sides. Remove the beef from the pan. Pour off all but 1 tablespoon pan drippings. (20 minutes)
03
StepReduce the heat to medium. Add the garlic cloves to the pan and cook until golden, stirring occasionally. Add the vinegar to the pan and cook and stir for 1 minute, scraping up the browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Stir in the stock, thyme and rosemary sprigs. Reduce the heat to low. Cook for 5 minutes. Season with black pepper. (15 minutes)
04
StepReturn the beef to the pan. Spoon the stock mixture over the beef. Cover the pan.
05
StepBake for 2 1/2 hours or until the beef is fork-tender. Baste the beef with the pan juices every 30 minutes. Remove the beef from the pan, cover and keep warm. (150 minutes)
06
StepStrain the pan drippings through a sieve into a medium bowl, reserving the garlic and discarding the thyme and rosemary sprigs. Spoon off any fat. (10 minutes)
07
StepPlace about half the garlic cloves and about 1 cup pan drippings into a food processor or blender. Cover and process until the mixture is smooth. (5 minutes)
08
StepHeat the garlic mixture, remaining garlic cloves, remaining pan drippings, chopped rosemary, minced garlic and lemon zest in a 10-inch skillet over medium-high heat to a boil. Cook and stir until the gravy is thickened. Serve the gravy with the beef. (10 minutes)
