Mom'S Marinara Wine Brisket - cooking recipe

Ingredients

8 lbs beef brisket
1 tablespoon salt, to taste
1 tablespoon garlic powder, to taste
2 (1 ounce) packets onion soup mix
2 (28 ounce) jars marinara sauce
2 cups red wine

Preparation

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Place the brisket in a Dutch oven or covered roasting pan. (My Mom likes to pan sear the meat to \"lock in the juices\" but I can't tell the difference and don't usually do it).
Sprinkle meat with the salt, garlic and onion packet all over.
Now add the marina sauce and wine.
Turn meat a few times to coat.
Cook 3 hours, turning meat after 1 1/2 hours.
The meat will be done when it is tender when pierced with a fork.
Remove brisket to a cutting board and let cool a bit for easier cutting.
Cut meat on the diagonal of the grain.
Return meat to sauce and serve.
It is also great the next day and it freezes well.
