I made Garten's holiday brisket, which calls for carrots, onions, and tomato juice. I thought the festive recipe was easy to make and could feed a whole family. With the holiday season in full swing, I decided to try making one of Ina Garten's favorite holiday recipes: her brisket.
The brisket rub. The rub called for one tablespoon of minced garlic, oregano leaves, salt, and pepper. I usually mince my own garlic, but I used jarred minced garlic this time around, and I found it made the process even easier. Then I rubbed my brisket with the mixture. The brisket rubbed with the garlic and herb mixture.
Directions. In a small bowl, combine the salt, pepper, garlic, and oregano. Rub the mixture on the brisket. Pile the carrots, celery, onions, and bay leaves on the brisket and pour in enough tomato juice to come about 3/4 of the way up the meat and vegetables. Cover the top of the pan with 2 sheets of parchment paper, then with aluminum foil.
Mix the garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt and pepper in a small bowl and sprinkle over the brisket, patting it down all over the meat. Heat the avocado oil over medium high heat in a Dutch oven.
