Special Diets:
Ingredients
- 3/4 teaspoon coarse sea salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon grated nutmeg
- 1 (4.0-pound) beef brisket, excess fat trimmed
- 14 cloves garlic
- 3/4 cup low-sodium beef broth
Method
Preheat the oven to 325°F. Combine salt, pepper and nutmeg in a small bowl.
Sprinkle mixture all over brisket and place in a roasting pan.
Scatter garlic around beef, add broth and tightly cover the pan with aluminum foil.
Roast for 2 hours; remove the foil and continue to roast until beef is browned and very tender, 30 to 40 minutes more.
Place beef on a cutting board and let rest for 20 minutes.
Use a slotted spoon to remove garlic from the roasting pan and set aside.
Pour pan juices into a glass measuring cup and let juices and fat separate; spoon off fat and discard.
Thinly slice beef against the grain, transfer to a platter with garlic and pour pan juices over the top.
