Roasted Apple Brisket


2½ pounds beef brisket
    3 tablespoons brown sugar
    1 teaspoon Kosher salt
      Freshly ground black pepper
    2 tablespoons olive oil
    3 medium gala apples, cored and cut into wedges
    1 small bunch fresh thyme or 2 teaspoon dried
    2 cups apple juice

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 375° F. (190°C)
  2. Season both sides of brisket with sugar, salt, and pepper to taste. Heat olive oil in a large Dutch oven over medium high heat. Add brisket and brown 5 minutes on each side. Remove from the pan and set aside.
  3. Add apples to the pan, and cook 5 minutes or until nicely browned. Stir in thyme and return brisket to the pan. Add apple juice, cover, and bake for 1 ½ to 2 hours, or until tender.
  4. Remove brisket and apples from the Dutch oven and let rest.
  5. Carefully set the hot pan on the stove and bring liquid to a boil. Simmer for 15 minutes or until reduced by half. Pour into a gravy boat or serving bowl.
  6. Slice brisket into ¼-inch thick slices and place on a serving platter. Place cooked apples around brisket and serve with sauce on the side.
