This recipe makes the beef so tender that it comes apart with a fork. When served with mashed potatoes and a vegetable, it makes a hearty meal.

Ingredients:

1 fresh beef brisket (3 pounds)

1 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

2 tablespoons vegetable oil

1-1/2 cups water

1 can (8 ounces) tomato sauce

1 small onion, chopped

2 tablespoons red wine vinegar

1 tablespoon chili powder

1 teaspoon dried oregano

3/4 teaspoon cumin

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/8 to 1/4 teaspoon ground red pepper

1/8 teaspoon black pepper

3 medium sweet red peppers, cut into strips

1-1/2 cups sliced carrots (1-inch chunks)

Directions:

1. Season beef with salt and pepper. In a Dutch oven, heat oil; brown beef on both sides. Meanwhile, combine all remaining ingredients except red peppers and carrots. Pour over meat. Cover and bake at 325° for 2 hours. Add red peppers and carrots; bake 1 hour longer or until meat is tender. Remove meat from the pan; allow to stand 15 minutes before cutting. Thicken juices with a little flour or cook over high heat to reduce and thicken. Yield: 10-12 servings.
