5 pound brisket of beef
Preheat oven to 350°F. Sprinkle the brisket with salt and pepper to taste and place it, fat side up, in heavy roasting pan.
Sauté the red peppers and onions in olive oil until lightly browned. Remove from heat and scatter the mixture over the brisket. Add the carrots, parsley and sun-dried tomatoes.
In a small bowl, mix the ketchup, beef broth, and brown sugar together. Add enough water to make 2 cups of liquid, and pour around the brisket. Make sure the sun-dried tomatoes are covered by liquid. Cover the pan tightly. Bake for 2-1/2 hours.
Remove the brisket from the pan and cool. Trim off all the visible fat from the cooled brisket and slice diagonally, against the grain. Return the meat to the heavy pan with the vegetables and gravy. When ready to serve, reheat for half an hour in a 350°F oven.
