This tender Italian seasoned brisket is very versatile and will feed a hungry crowd. It's a great make ahead dish and can be sliced thin for hearty sandwiches on crusty bread or served as an elegant dinner alongside creamy mashed potatoes and asparagus spears.

Ingredients

1 Beef Brisket about 4 pounds
2 garlic cloves slivered
1 teaspoon fennel seed crushed
1 cup chopped onion
3 cups water
1 green bell pepper cut in thin strips
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
2 beef bouillon cubes
1 teaspoons salt
2 teaspoons Italian Seasoning
1/4 teaspoons hot pepper sauce

Directions

Trim excess fat from the brisket and discard.
Place brisket, fat side up, in a 9 by 13 inch roasting pan.
Sprinkle garlic and fennel seeds over the surface. Place onion on top.
Bake uncovered in a 325 degree F oven for 1 hour.
Remove from oven and cover with aluminum foil and seal tightly. Continue cooking for 2 hours or until tender. Remove brisket and allow to cool completely. This will allow for easy slicing.
Pour cooking liquid into a 2 quart saucepan. Add water, green pepper, Worcestershire sauce, bouillon cubes, Italian seasoning, salt and hot pepper sauce. Bring to a boil.
Reduce heat and simmer for 15-20 minutes. Carve brisket diagonally across the grain into thin slices. Add slices to seasoned cooking liquid and heat through.
Serve on sliced crusty bread.
