Petunjuk

Pat the brisket dry. Mix all coffee rub ingredients in a small bowl and rub evenly over the meat.

For best flavor, cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight.

Preheat oven to 325°F (165°C).

Heat olive oil in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Sear the brisket until deeply browned on both sides, about 4–5 minutes per side.

Remove and set aside.

In the same pan, cook the sliced onions over medium heat until softened and lightly golden, about 8–10 minutes. Add garlic and cook 1 minute more.

Transfer onions and garlic to a roasting pan or Dutch oven. Place brisket on top.

Pour the red wine and beef stock around the brisket.

Cover tightly and cook in the oven for about 6 hours, until the brisket is very tender.

Allow to cool completely, then slice against the grain.

Arrange the slices in a baking dish and spoon a little braising liquid over them to keep them moist. Refrigerate for a few hours or overnight for extra moisture

Spoon some of the braising onions and sauce over the brisket.
