This hearty pot roast is the ultimate comfort food, featuring a tender flat-cut brisket slow-braised in red wine and balsamic vinegar until it falls apart. The beef is nestled on a bed of onions and sun-dried tomatoes, absorbing deep, savory flavors as it cooks. While the meat braises, a medley of red potatoes, carrots, and celery roasts alongside, becoming caramelized and sweet. The dish finishes with a luxurious, smooth gravy made from the roasted pan juices and vegetables. It’s a perfect Sunday dinner or holiday centerpiece that feels elegant yet homey. Serve with crusty bread to soak up every drop of the rich sauce.

Directions
-
Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (177°C).
-
Line a large shallow roasting pan with foil, leaving at least four inches of overhang on the sides.
-
In a small bowl, mix minced garlic, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper.
-
Rub the garlic mixture all over the brisket, ensuring it is fully coated.
-
Spread half of the sliced onions evenly across the bottom of the prepared roasting pan.
-
Sprinkle the drained sun-dried tomatoes over the onions.
-
In a small bowl, whisk together dry red wine and balsamic vinegar.
-
Pour the wine and vinegar mixture into the bottom of the roasting pan.
-
Place the brisket in the pan, fat side up, on top of the onion and tomato layer.
-
Cover the brisket with the remaining sliced onions.
-
Bring the foil up around the sides of the pan, crimping it loosely around the edges but not covering the top of the meat yet.
-
Cover the entire pan tightly with another sheet of foil, crimping the edges to seal in moisture.
-
Place the roasting pan in the oven and bake for 4 hours.
-
Meanwhile, prepare the vegetables: In a large bowl, combine red potatoes, carrots, celery, butter, dried thyme leaves, and remaining salt and pepper.
-
Toss the vegetables until evenly coated with the butter and seasonings.
-
Spread the vegetable mixture in a single layer on a jelly roll pan or large baking sheet.
-
Cover the vegetable pan tightly with foil and crimp the edges to seal.
-
After the beef has roasted for 2 hours, place the covered vegetable pan in the oven alongside the beef.
-
Roast the vegetables for 1 hour covered, then remove the foil and continue roasting for the remaining hour, stirring once or twice to ensure even browning.
-
Once the beef is tender, remove it from the oven and carefully transfer the brisket to a cutting board.
-
Cover the brisket loosely with foil to keep warm while resting.
-
To make the gravy, use a slotted spoon to remove about 1 cup of the roasted onions and tomatoes from the roasting pan and set aside.
-
Measure and reserve 1/2 cup of the liquid from the bottom of the roasting pan.
-
Place the remaining roasted vegetables and pan juices into a food processor.
-
Blend until the mixture is completely smooth.
-
Pour the puree into a saucepan and stir in the reserved 1/2 cup of liquid and the reserved cup of vegetables.
-
Season the gravy with black pepper to taste and heat over low heat, keeping it warm until serving.
-
Slice the rested brisket diagonally into 3/8-inch thick slices.
-
Transfer the sliced meat to a serving platter using a spatula.
-
Spoon the roasted vegetables beside the meat on the platter.
-
Pour the warm gravy into a gravy boat and serve alongside the meat and vegetables.
