Brasato al Barolo - Tender Beef Braised in Red Wine

[@SipandFeast]

You can use a chuck roast instead of brisket which can be served as chunks or shredded. A brisket will yield nice slices. Even though this dish is traditionally made with Barolo, we recommend you opt for a less expensive dry red wine unless you are Mr. or Mrs. Moneybags😂. The ingredient amounts (also in grams) are right in the description and the print recipe is linked there as well. As always, thanks for liking our recipes and videos and sharing our family table each week. If you love honest and unpretentious food talk with a bit of sarcasm be sure to check out our podcast: www.youtube.com/@sipandfeastpodcast

I've been cooking for decades and only just seen the clean spoon to measure the sauce reduction trick. We live and learn. Thank you.

[@RoderickGMacLeod]

If you're going to leave Italy for the wine, I'd suggest Côtes du Rhône. It's excellent for cooking, lots of fruity flavors without the oakiness and tannins that dominate a lot of reds, especially after reducing. It's a red blend with balanced flavors. There are many red Côtes du Rhône brands available in the ten to twenty dollar range.

[@RoderickGMacLeod]

Definitely don't skip the overnight thing before serving. The congealed fat is easy to remove. You can use the fat for roast potatoes. The meat is a lot easier to slice neatly when it's cold. You can slice it and reheat with a bit of the broth to keep it moist. The meat will even stay together better. Cooling it helps to set the gelatin in the meat so it is less likely to break apart even when reheated. Fresh vegetables for serving with the aromatics blended well is great.

[@RoderickGMacLeod]

This method is also great for St. Paddy's day corned beef.

[@lucky0n3]

Do you cover the history of this dish in your podcast? I'm curious to know why such an expensive wine would be used, unless it was going bad/off.

[@jennifert2953]

I appreciate how you always look out for the budget! Thank you. That goes a long way with me. I can’t afford to be a food snob!!!!!

[@loriroth8007]

If you can’t afford a handheld blender, use a regular blender. He does make suggestions about what wines you can use or not use. Stop busting his chops. Make his recipe’s the way you like or don’t. He’s great! And! I love his recipe’s.

[@mr.e0311]

It's def not a recipe for people that don't have the extra coin to spend. They should be smart enough to know this level of decadence cost more than their usual spam singles and powdered egg sammiches

[@jeanniebrooks]

You need to stop busting other people’s chops and allow them their opinion. You be you. They are entitled to express their opinion too. I didn’t see anything that was snide or overly critical. Relax!

[@OrbObserver]

@@jeanniebrooks If they are entitled to express their opinions criticizing someone then that leaves them open to criticism. They are allowed their opinion, and we are allowed our opinion on their opinion.

[@RolloTonéBrownTown]

For sure, this channel takes pains to use ingredients that anyone can use or suggests alternatives that are more accessible. People need to quit spending so much on processed junk and buy better quality, less expensive stuff. And we have great channels like this that help even the beginner become more confident with cooking

[@RolloTonéBrownTown]

​@@jeanniebrookshe almost always suggests alternatives that in my experience, work very well as a substitute. People's budgets are their own business but I think everyone could stand to be more informed on how to swap ingredients out for their less spendy versions

[@anne-sp9cl]

Nebbiolo, which is the grape that goes into Barolo & Barbaresco, can be found throughout the general region of the Langhe ( the bigger region that includes both of the killer B's) Nebbiolo della Langhe is a whole lot cheaper than the B's. You can also find some Nebbiolo from the region of Valtellina. The biggest producer there is Nino Negri. They have great wines at many price points. I hope this helps you be "traditional" without breaking the bank.

[@nikiTricoteuse]

Great tip. Thanks.

[@brunomacedo7620]

I have posted before and I will say again. This guy can cook and he knows what he is talking about ! This is better then restaurant quality 👌 ❤ home made with love. Keep that grateful work! I wacht your videos with 🙏... regards from Amsterdam. HOLLAND 🇳🇱.

[@jimk4267]

You have made my cooking so simple. Your approach cuts through a lot of the bs. Looks fantastic. Thank you

[@herbabbott]

You are unbelievable, I love your personality, your several humor, and your love for your family, and your recipes are unbelievable…. I can’t thank you enough.

[@MichaelSorensen-bl3ec]

Thank you for saying what I have been saying for years, you don't need to use an expensive wine for cooking. You drink the good stuff, use cask wine for cooking, otherwise you are wasting your hard earned cash. Looks great, I'll make this recipe on the weekend!

[@jeanniebrooks]

Great recipe! I love all the attention to detail so we know all the tricks to make it come out perfectly! You always do lovely meals that are very family style but elevated and made with good techniques and quality ingredients.

[@Gravy314]

My husband would absolutely adore this, and I’ve always been nervous about trying to do a brisket. You’ve made it look super easy! Time-consuming, no doubt, but not all at once. I’m gonna give it a whirl. Thank you!

[@wasanjajou]

Love the recipes you share! Love your no fuss manner & all the options/variations you provide & that it's a family affair. Hope you and your channel continue to grow by leaps and bounds!🇨🇦❤🇺🇸

[@StarTraveler649]

Picked up that cordless blender after seeing you use it the first time. Works great !! Going to make this over the weekend !

[@amywedekind1171]

We tested this last weekend with a small brisket chunk and it was absolutely delicious! We are hosting Christmas dinner this year and my family is going to love this! We wanted to do something different. I love that we can make this the day before and have it ready to heat up. I really love your videos…all your tips and different options for ingredients and techniques are so helpful! Happy Holidays!

[@cretracks]

This recipe far exceeded my expectations, it was outstanding! I had a 9 lb brisket in the freezer and used that with no issues. I also found an inexpensive Barolo at Costco, around $20. I only marinated for about 12 hours, but the brisket and the sauce were out of this world good. The 9 lb brisket only took 4 hours in the oven. I also made the creamy polenta to go along with the dish. Our brains fell out on the floor it was so good. Thanks again for a great recipe.

[@danyeomans9642]

Thanks

[@SipandFeast]

Thank you!

[@slyborg1]

What a process! Fun to see how things are done. Good texture comment by Tara.

[@a2ndopynyn]

I'm really enjoying watching your channel grow. You post a lot of solid recipes and you are personally engaging. One quick note: you apologize just a bit too much! If someone chews on you in the comments for using wine, or too much garlic, or whatever, let that slide. Lots of people on the Internet with nothing better to do than try to get under other peoples' skin. Every serious person who watches your channel knows to adjust spices and flavorings up or down based on personal preference. YOU just keep showing us the recipes you learned growing up. We can either then adapt those for our own preferences - or! - we can make them as you suggest, and - OH MY GOD! - try something...NEW! (In other words, people tend to be silly, so best to ignore them. Keep doing you. It's working.)

[@conniecasale3593]

Love your directions. So simple

[@Excalibur32]

Love your videos, always enjoy looking at the food you've prepared

[@anitafiretto4332]

Definitely going to try this. Looks delicious and great tips for preparing ahead of time. I also like texture in my sauce and will take Tara’s advice. Happy Thanksgiving.

[@agentsculder2451]

My family has made a similar recipe with chuck for Christmas. Recipes like this are great for the holidays. They take time, but really aren't a lot of work so you're able to spend more time with guests.

[@joebandi2695]

i've just found you on youtube and your brilliant at explaining your steps as you go, i have saved the four recipes i've watched so far and im going to try all four, cheers, im subscribing and looking forward to watch more recipes.

[@SipandFeast]

Thanks and welcome to the channel!

[@eddiewilson8119]

Thank you so much for sharing this video and it's nothing like good tasting food ❤!

[@mrs.y]

Nice video guys, this looks super yummy. I'm guessing you could do this technique with any cut of meat and it won't be officially the same thing, but it would taste good.

[@Bosch1300]

Just in time. I now know what I'm making for thanksgiving!!! Thank you.

[@thenewhew1136]

Looks great! A nice change from holiday poultry!

[@DS-xl1ro]

Nice vid. Definitely a labor of love to make this. looks delicious.

[@larsegholmfischmann6594]

Almost all my cookware is Le Creuset and I absolutely love it :) ... The Masala wine reminds me of Saltimbocca a la Romana... gotta make that again soon

[@ExaltedDuck]

If you want to keep it less curly through the sear, score the fat cap with a 1-1.5" grid about halfway through the fat and trim up the edges of the roast to get rid of any fat and connective tissues right on the edges.

[@petenisserman5162]

Who else is already thinking about leftovers? You have to tell us about the sandwiches ... another great recipe, Mr. Jim & Ms. Tara!

[@michaelrogers8126]

That looks SO good ! Love watching your channel. You make everything look so easy to do.

[@rally618]

I shouldn't watch these right before going to bed. LOL Looks very good. Gonna make this and the Polenta. I've never had that. Looks good also.

[@HyperactiveNeuron]

So the -½ was about the authentic recipe. That's totally fair. I 100% agree with Tara. This looks fantastic. Love brisket.

[@jenniferb5540]

[@TokyoBlue587]

[@TheFatGandalf]

A lot of traditional concepts in this dish. I’ve made it with short ribs but never with brisket. Thank you for the idea.

[@anthonydolio8118]

Delicious. I'll take it either with or without texture. YUM!

[@k.mcc.5878]

Like Martha pot roast, you can easily cook some cleaned root veggies in the sauce after it's blended.

[@walmartsucks1995]

i was wondering why this was randomly uploaded on tuesday for a bit lol. aaaanyway...looks delicious.

[@mazzarouni5608]

Now that’s a masterpiece. Good job. I’m going to try this.

I made this for my family at the weekend and they think it’s fantastic.😊

[@joePARKS]

Always spectacular - thank you guys

[@sadiemae9446]

If you want to make day before serving, how would you heat up the brisket without drying it out? Put gravy on it in the oven? I am thinking about it for Christmas dinner but doing before would decrease anxiety! Thank you!

[@SipandFeast]

Yes the whole sliced brisket and sauce tighlty covered with foil in the oven at 300f until hot will be perfect. We actually just had this the other night which was a month after filming. I just wrapped it tightly and stored it in the freezer.

[@zeke7142003]

When I braise beef I like to add canned tomatoes foursome flavor. I use port wine too for some sweetness.

“Brasato al Barolo“…..for a particular and very special evening, for a very special dinner !

[@shadebinder3599]

Definitely a holiday dish

[@markbarrington3396]

Loved the video. I just use bread for the fat and have myself some fried bread as a cooks treat.

[@BDCF100]

Great timing. I'm doing Hazan's Stracotto al Barolo this Sunday.

[@SipandFeast]

Stracatto is great. I am saving that recipe for our upcoming cookbook.

[@BDCF100]

I improved on the great Marcella's recipe. What! Well, she cooked veggies separately. Then after lifting out the roast she strained the remains and then defatted the results and then made a sauce. Superb but wasteful. I, at the half way mark turn over the roast and add whole mushrooms, boiling onions, carrot chunks and red potato chunks. When the beef is done, I lift out the roast and all the veggies. Then I carefully skim off the fat as much as practical. Then bingo....immersion blender. and the sauce is awesome. Adjust the S&P then serve. One pot, killer veggies and rooms and no waste of all those root veggy dice.d goodness. Love your vids The kid is a hard judge. LOL @@SipandFeast

[@jenny._.kim116]

Hey! Love your videos as usual, but can you recommend some non-alcohol alternatives for the wine? Can't have it.

[@dlcupples396]

I have some Brisket in the freezer! Guess what’s for dinner!❤

[@madelineS98789]

Is Diamond Kosher salt less sodium than Morton’s? I’ve never used it but understand you can use more Diamond without making it too salty?

[@markfleser]

Diamond Crystal is the best Kosher salt. Morton’s might as well be road salt the crystals are so huge and hard.

[@jacobhowerton3379]

Would this cook well in an open top magnalite (or similar knock off) pot?

[@RLKmedic0315]

To my family, calling something "restaurant quality" is an insult, lol. We go out for the convenience and to try new cuisine that we do not know well. But if we want a high quality and delicious meal, we cook it ourselves. And I'm pretty sure that the food you prepare is far batter than 99.9% of all the restaurants out tgere.

[@jeanniebrooks]

We do too! However, to be fair, there are very good restaurants that make food that is very time consuming, like toasting spices, grinding them in a mortar & pestel, marinate for 24 hrs, make special infused oils….it gets to be such a major endeavor, I’d be happy to pay for it in a restaurant! I’m getting into my senior years and it tires me out too much. Jim does a great job finding a happy medium! I like his family style cooking, but elevated.

[@RolloTonéBrownTown]

Ever since I got gud at cooking five or so years ago, i've been to a restaurant maybe once. I'm not paying for inferior food made by someone rushing through it to crank it out as fast as possible. I would only go if a date insisted I take her or if I researched the menu ahead of time and saw the chef was doing something provocative or creative.

[@RolloTonéBrownTown]

But to be fair, the average cook has no idea what your personal tastes are. That's why they dump 3 sticks of butter on everything, lazy way of making things taste "good" without having to cater to unique tastes

[@eyaldiskin3665]

[@MindofMary]

Hi! i'm wondering if you could suggest any non pork alternatives to the pancetta? this recipe looks great!

[@SipandFeast]

You can just use olive oil.

[@ashknife]

If you got the equipment and time for it, rather than searing the brisket, smoke it for an hour or two before combining everything in the pan and putting that in the oven. The flavor the smoke ring adds will be phenomenal.

[@ivett314]

[@cradd7108]

I made something very similar in a Jewish style a few months ago, it was a huge hit with my family

[@riley6740]

I’m not a fan of sweet Marsala but adore the dry. For braised meat that has carrots in it, the carrots are sweet enough to balance the flavors. I’ve had other dishes with so many carrots diced in there that it rendered the whole dish so much that it hard to eat. Unfortunately, it always seems to be when I go out on a date with someone that I’ve recently started dating. I’m getting good at praising the dish pretty good in front of the date. Hahaha

[@kajem575]

Hated cooked carrots as a child. Made to sit in the basement with a mouthful of them,(yay abusive parents) never swallowed them mutherfuckers though. Carrots ruin any dish they cook in. Raw carrots I can eat. RINGO sez...✌️❤️

[@dippitydoinit]

This looks amazing although not cheap. I don't even have a vessel large enough to cook that brisket in.

[@jbbourbon178]

Could you use a London Broil for this recipe?

[@geebee6737]

In the UK restaurant quality normally implies cheap food cooked quickly for maximum profit.....you're paying for ambience and not having to wash up 🤣 If you want real quality food you do it yourself at home.....at least the older generation do 👍 Pat on the back for that recipe but agree with the texture comment....just lacked a side of green beans or some shrooms

You can also skim the fat by using a metal ladle filled with ice. The fat will instantly stick to the ladle and the broth will stay in the pan.

[@michaelmiller1109]

My very anecdotal experience watching lots of KZbin channels. (ATK says the difference between Diamond Crystal and Morton's is an additive Morton's adds to prevent caking.) BBQ people prefer Diamond Crystal by a wide margin. The Chef crowd leans Morton. I went to Diamond Crystal route because well, an additive was something I didn't want to think about and BBQ sounded fun. But learn your crystal size is the take away.

Diamond Crystal kosher salt is light years better than Mortans and most chefs would tell you that. The way it's made is very unique and you can use more of it, with actually have less sodium. I don't cook with anything else.

[@CantankerousDave]

There’s been a weird shortage of kosher salt in my area lately. A food service supplier got in some Diamond kosher this week, but I haven’t seen any Morton’s kosher on the shelf for at least a month.

[@RedlineR1S]

@@CantankerousDave Morton's has constantly had issues with capacity. Full disclosure, I used to work for Cargill, who makes Diamond Crystal, and we took share often due to Morton's issues. In the food service, culinary side, Diamond Crystal dominates Morton. Morton's has more shelf presence.
