Grandma Ethel's Brisket with Tzimmes

This traditional beef brisket with tzimmes is a soul-warming dish that celebrates the slow-cooking methods of generations past. Braised in a rich stock sharpened with sherry vinegar, the first-cut brisket becomes exceptionally tender, while the carrots, sweet potatoes, and prunes create a naturally sweet, jewel-coloured garnish. It is a high-protein main course that fills the kitchen with a wonderful savoury aroma as it simmers, making it a favourite choice for festive gatherings or a comforting Sunday lunch.

To achieve the best results, this recipe requires a little patience, as the flavours deepen significantly when the meat is allowed to rest in its juices overnight. This cooling process also makes it easier to trim any excess fat, ensuring a refined finish to the sauce. Serve the sliced beef on a large platter surrounded by the honeyed vegetables for a wholesome, homemade meal that is both nutritious and deeply satisfying.

Pat brisket dry and rub all over with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoons pepper. Heat oil in a 17- by 11-inch heavy roasting pan (3 inches deep) over moderately high heat, straddled across 2 burners, until hot but not smoking, then brown brisket, starting with fat side down, on both sides, about 5 minutes per side. Remove from heat, then add stock and vinegar to pan. Cover pan tightly with heavy-duty foil and braise brisket in oven 2 hours. Add carrots and potatoes to pan and braise, covered, 1 hour. Add prunes and braise, covered, until meat is fork-tender, about 30 minutes more. Cool meat, uncovered, to room temperature, about 1 hour, then chill, covered, at least 12 hours.
