Spiced Brisket with Shallots and Satsuma Mandarins Directions
- Preheat oven to 375˚F. Sprinkle brisket on both sides with five-spice, salt, and pepper. Set brisket in a 9x13-inch baking dish, with the side trimmed of fat facing up). Place the shallots and satsumas on and around the brisket. Roast, uncovered, for 30 minutes.
- Whisk together the beef broth, balsamic vinegar, and arrowroot powder in a bowl or measuring cup with a spout. Whisk until arrowroot is fully dissolved. Remove the brisket, and pour the broth mixture into the baking dish. Cover tightly with aluminum foil, and continue to cook about 3 hours, until the brisket is very tender.
- Allow to sit at room temperature for 30 minutes. Transfer the brisket to a cutting board, and slice against the grain. Serve brisket with Satsuma-shallot mixture ladled on top.
