Beef Brisket In Tomato Sauce


Ingredients

  • 1 beef brisket, grass-fed would be best (about 4 pounds)
  • 1 twenty-four ounce jar of your favorite prepared tomato sauce
  • 1 green bell pepper, cored, seeded and cut into large chunks
  • 1 small red onion, diced into large chunks
  • 4 cloves of garlic, peeled and minced

Directions
Place the onion, green pepper and garlic into a casserole dish that is large enough to fit the beef brisket yet small enough to fit into your toaster oven. Evenly distribute the vegetables to form a bed for the beef brisket, then place the meat on top of that. Pour the entire jar of prepared tomato sauce over the beef. Cover the casserole dish tightly with foil and place it into the refrigerator overnight.
Remove the brisket from the refrigerator at least one hour before beginning the cooking process. You want it to be at room temperature or close to room temperature before proceeding.
Heat the toaster oven to 200 degrees F. Place the casserole dish, still covered in foil, into the toaster oven. Bake for 2 hours. Flip the brisket over, then cook for another 2 hours. Uncover the brisket, flip it, then cook the brisket uncovered for another 2 hours. Flip the brisket yet again and cook for 2 more hours, still uncovered. Once the 8 hours has passed, your brisket should be perfectly tender and ready to serve, after a short 10 minute rest.
Slice the brisket against the grain to get the most tender beef possible. Serve it with the vegetables and sauce. You can also cook some of your favorite pasta to serve with the extra sauce, which has now been infused with an incredible, beefy flavor.
