Step 5

Brown brisket on all sides, about 5 minutes per side. Add 1 ½ cups Worcestershire sauce to the skillet, ½ cup at a time, adding more as sauce cooks into brisket.

Step 6

Place a rack in a heavy Dutch oven; place brisket on the rack. Pour in Worcestershire sauce skillet drippings, beef broth, red wine, water, and garlic; top with mushroom mixture. Drizzle remaining 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce over mushrooms; top with remaining 2 tablespoons margarine. Cover the Dutch oven.
