Sensational Slow Cooked Beef Brisket
  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).

  2. 2

    Mix paprika, garlic powder, black pepper, sea salt, and cayenne pepper in a bowl; set aside.

  3. 3

    Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the mushrooms and shallots; cook and stir until the mushrooms release their liquid, 5 to 8 minutes. Set aside.

  4. 4

    Melt 1/4 cup margarine in a large skillet over medium-high heat; stir in 1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce. Rub the beef brisket thoroughly with the spice mixture; place the brisket in the skillet.

  5. 5

    Brown the brisket on all sides, about 5 minutes per side. Add 1 1/2 cups Worcestershire sauce to the skillet, 1/2 cup at a time, adding more as the sauce cooks into the brisket.

  6. 6

    Set a rack in a heavy Dutch oven; place the brisket on the rack. Pour in the Worcestershire sauce skillet drippings, beef broth, red wine, water, and garlic; top with the mushroom mixture. Drizzle the remaining 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce over the mushrooms; top with the remaining 2 tablespoons margarine. Cover the Dutch oven.

  7. 7

    Bake in the preheated oven for 3 hours. Reduce the oven temperature to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C); bake 1 hour more. Reduce the oven temperature to 225 degrees F (105 degrees C); bake 1 hour more. Baste with pan drippings every hour.

  8. 8

    Let the brisket rest before slicing thinly against the grain, about 20 minutes. Serve with the pan gravy.
