Ingredients
- 2 Tablespoons olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic; minced
- 4 onions; thinly sliced
- 1 lean beef brisket (6 to 8 pounds)
- 5 carrots; thinly sliced
- 1/2 Cup minced parsley
- 2 pounds fresh Roma tomatoes, peeled and trimmed (about 28 ounces, juices included)
- 1 1/2 Cups red wine (to 2)
- 1 head garlic head; cloves separated, unpeeled
- Kosher salt, to taste
- freshly-ground black pepper, to taste

Instructions
- Heat the oven to 350 degrees.
- Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic and onions and cook until soft, about 5 minutes.
