    Meltingly tender brisket is the centerpiece of a gratifying meal; leftovers make a tasty pasta ragu. If you plan to make Linguine with Beef and Onions, reserve 8 ounces of sliced cooked brisket; refrigerate in a covered container until ready to use.

    Ingredients

    • 1 well-trimmed beef brisket (3 1/2 pounds)
    • Coarse salt and ground pepper
    • 2 1/2 teaspoons ground ginger
    • 3/4 teaspoon ground allspice
    • 3/4 cup cider vinegar
    • 1/2 cup tomato paste
    • 1/3 cup light-brown sugar
    • 1 small onion, finely chopped
    • 6 garlic cloves, minced

    Directions

    1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Rub beef with salt, pepper, ginger, and allspice. In a medium bowl, combine vinegar, tomato paste, brown sugar, onion, garlic, and 1/2 cup water.
