I love to serve brisket when I am hosting a crowd – as I am on Rosh Hashanah – and this sweet, slightly tangy recipe is going to blow you away with its flavorful simplicity! This wonderful brisket recipe is a crowd pleaser AND it can be prepared ahead and frozen. Does it get better than that?

Honey Dijon Brisket
Ingredients
- 1 (3 lb) brisket, preferably 2nd cut
- Oil, salt and pepper, for searing
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/4 cup Dijon mustard
- 2 Tablespoons onion soup mix
- 1 onion diced
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 cup white wine, preferably semi sweet
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325.
- Heat oil in a large frying pan over high heat. Season both sides of the brisket generously with salt and pepper. Add brisket to pan and allow to cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until it develops a nice brown crust. Remove from heat and place in a 9x13 baking pan.
- Meanwhile, stir together honey, dijon and onion soup mix in a small bowl. As soon as brisket is cool enough to touch, smear the mixture all over the brisket, covering it completely.
- Add onion and salt to frying pan and cook on medium, stirring occasionally, for about 5 minutes, until softened. Place onion into baking pan. Pour wine around the brisket in the pan (don’t pour it on top.)
- Cover tightly and bake for about an hour per pound, until the meat is fork tender. For best results, cool before slicing, then rewarm.
Notes
Plan ahead: brisket can be prepared ahead and rewarmed until heated through.
