Preparation

Step 1

BRISKET:
In a large Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over high heat until smoking. Season the meat liberally with salt and pepper.

Sear in the pan for 4 to 5 minutes per side.

Add the onions, carrot, celery and pancetta and cook until the vegetables are light brown and starting to soften, about 8 minutes.

Add the wine and tomato sauce and bring to a boil.

Reduce to a simmer. Cook until the meat is very tender, 2 1/2 to 3 hours.

Transfer the meat to a festive platter.

TOPPING:
Make a gremolata by combining the lemon zest, chopped parsley and salt and pepper.

Bring the cooking liquid from the brisket to a boil and reduce to 2 1/2 cups. Season with salt and pepper, pour over meat and serve immediately. Top with gremolata.
