Cooking Directions
Trim the brisket or chuck of any excess fat. Rub the meat first with Dijon mustard and then season with garam masala and a good pinch of sea salt and black pepper.
In a medium soup pot over medium heat add 1 tbsp of olive oil. Once it begins to shimmer add the brisket. You should hear it sizzle gently. Sear both sides for about 3 to 4 minutes, until you get a nice golden brown. Remove the meat from the pot and set aside.
Add another tbsp of olive oil and place your mushrooms, carrots, onion and garlic in the pot. Stir well and cook for about 5 minutes. Add the tomato paste and balsamic vinegar. Stir well to combine.
Add the meat back in and add the stock. Tie your thyme and bay leaf up with some butchers twine and add (easier to remove after). Bring the liquid up to a simmer (gently bubbling).
Cover with the lid and turn the heat down to low, allow it to simmer for about 3 ½ to 4 hours. Cook until the beef easily shreds apart. Season to taste.

Nutrition Facts
Nutrients from the food you eat are mostly absorbed in the small intestine and some in the large intestine. If you have had cancer treatment to these areas, such as surgery or radiation, or if you have Crohn’s disease or colitis, you may have difficulty absorbing nutrients such as iron.
Crohn’s disease has 2 stages: 1) feeling well without having symptoms and 2) flare-ups, or having symptoms such as nausea and diarrhea. During a flare-up, you may not absorb enough iron. This can lead to anemia, where red blood cells don’t carry enough oxygen around your body, leaving you feeling weak, tired and out of breath. Choose iron-rich foods such as meat, poultry and iron-fortified cereal.
Getting enough protein is important for building and repairing your cells, muscles and other tissues. At each meal, have protein-rich foods such as meat, poultry, fish, eggs or nut butters.
