This old-fashioned brisket has an irresistible sweet-sour flavor that comes from a tomato sauce enlivened with brown sugar, sweet onions, and apple cider vinegar. It braises low and slow for 3 hours, yielding perfectly tender meat. The potatoes, carrots, and turnips go in for just the last hour so they don’t overcook. If you end up with leftovers, then lucky you—they might taste even better the next day. To end up with 2 lb of trimmed brisket, you’ll want to purchase one that weighs 2¼ to 2½ lb.
