How to Make a Holiday Herb-Infused Brisket with LĒVO

Bring Comfort and Flavor to the Table

Nothing says “made with care” quite like a slow-roasted meal, infused with herbs you’ve prepared yourself. This Herb-Infused Holiday Beef Brisket from Infusiast @allidoiseatandeat transforms a traditional dish into a rich and aromatic centerpiece, while the oil doubles as a thoughtful gift idea.

Using the LĒVO II+ and herb-infused oil, this recipe layers deep flavors of sage, thyme, and rosemary into a silky oil that elevates every bite — and makes your kitchen smell like pure holiday comfort.

Why Infuse With LĒVO for Savory Recipes?

Infusing herbs in oil is one of the easiest ways to bring restaurant-level flavor into your home cooking. But because traditional stovetop methods can be inconsistent, you could be left with burned herbs or cloudy oil.

With the LĒVO II+, you can:

• Dry and activate your herbs with precision.
  
• Infuse oils and butters at controlled temperatures for consistent results.
• Preserve potency and flavor without overheating.
  

For this recipe, Victoria infused a blend of avocado and coconut oil with dried herbs,
including sage, rosemary, and thyme, to achieve a smooth, fragrant base that is perfect for roasting and pan sauces.

💡 Tip: The same infused oil and more can be bottled and gifted — pair it with a recipe card and you’ve got a personalized gourmet present. Check out our Holiday Herbs Bundle and our Holiday Gift Guide to get started.

The Heart of the Dish: Herb-Infused Beef Brisket

This dish begins with a classic oven baked brisket rub of Dijon, Worcestershire, salt, and pepper — but what elevates it to the next level is the LĒVO-made herb oil. Sage, thyme, and rosemary infuse together at 170°F for one hour, creating a flavor base that permeates every layer of the meat and gravy.

The result: a tender, fork-soft roast with a silky pan sauce that’s perfect for serving family-style.

Directions

1. Prepare Infused Oil: Using your LĒVO II+, infuse a blend of coconut and avocado oil with dried sage, thyme, and rosemary for 1 hour at 170°F. Set aside.

2. Preheat Oven & Prepare Brisket: Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). Pat the holiday brisket dry with paper towels.

3. Make the Rub: In a small bowl, combine Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, salt, black pepper, and dried thyme. Stir in 1/4 cup of the sage-infused oil to create a paste.

4. Rub the Brisket: Generously coat the entire brisket with the prepared rub.

5. Sear (Optional): For extra flavor, you can sear the brisket fat-side down in a hot, oven-safe pan on the stovetop for 5-7 minutes until browned, then flip.

6. Roast Brisket: Place the brisket (fat-side up) in a roasting pan. Cover tightly with foil and roast for 4.5-5 hours, or until fork-tender.

7. Prepare Roasted Vegetables: In a large bowl, toss the mixed vegetables with the infused oil, pan drippings, salt, and pepper.

8. Add Vegetables & Finish Roasting: During the last 1.5 hours of brisket cooking, add the tossed vegetables into the oven. Continue roasting until brisket is tender and vegetables are soft and slightly caramelized.

9. Rest Brisket: Once cooked, remove the brisket from the pan, tent it loosely with foil, and let it rest for at least 15-20 minutes before slicing.

10. Make the Gravy: While the holiday brisket rests, pour the pan drippings into a saucepan, scraping up any browned bits. Skim off excess fat, leaving about 1/4 cup. Heat over medium heat. Whisk in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes until a roux forms. Gradually whisk in the beef broth until smooth. Simmer, stirring occasionally, until thickened to your desired consistency. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

11. Serve: Slice the holiday brisket against the grain and serve with the roasted vegetables and warm gravy.
