1 medium onion, peeled and quartered
2 inches fresh ginger, peeled
6 large garlic cloves
1/4 cup Dijon mustard
1/2 cup dry red wine
1 1/2 cups Coca-Cola or 1 1/2 cups ginger ale

1
Heat oven to 350 degrees. Place everything but the brisket into a food processor, and process with steel blade until smooth.
2
Place brisket, fat side up, into a heavy baking pan just large enough to hold it, and pour sauce over it. Cover tightly and bake for 2 hours. Turn brisket over and bake uncovered for one more hour or until fork-tender. Cool, cover brisket and refrigerate overnight in cooking pan.
3
The next day, transfer brisket to a cutting board, cut off fat and cut with a sharp knife against grain, to desired thickness. Remove any congealed fat from sauce and bring to a boil on top of stove.
4
Heat oven to 350 degrees. Taste sauce to see if it needs reducing. If so, boil it down for a few minutes or as needed. Return meat to sauce and warm in oven for 20 minutes. Serve warm.
