PREPARE THE BRISKET: Set the oven @ 350øF/175øC.
Generously season the brisket with salt and pepper, then
coat with the flour in a large bowl. Heat the olive oil
in a large Dutch oven or ovenproof pot over medium-high
heat. Brown the brisket on all sides, about 10 minutes.
Transfer the meat to a plate.
Add the onions and 2 teaspoons salt to the pot and cook,
stirring, until soft, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic
and cook, stirring, until the onions are caramelized,
about 10 more minutes. Add the tomato paste and cook
about 5 more minutes. Add the wine and 1 cup water,
scraping up the browned bits from the bottom of the
pot. Stir in the sugar. Reduce the heat to maintain
a low simmer.
Tie the celery, rosemary and bay leaves together with
kitchen twine and add to the pot along with the brisket
and carrots. Cut a round of parchment paper to fit
inside the pot; place directly on top of the liquid,
then cover with the lid. Transfer to the oven and cook
3 hours, 30 minutes.
MEANWHILE, MAKE THE CRUST: Mince and mash the garlic
with 1 teaspoon salt. Coarsely grate the horseradish.
Chop the parsley with the horseradish and garlic paste
until the mixture is moist.
Remove the pot from the oven, discard the parchment and
transfer the meat to a rimmed baking sheet. Increase the
oven temperature to 375øF/190øC. Brush the top of the
brisket with the mustard, then pat with the horseradish
mixture. Return the meat to the pot and bake, uncovered,
until the crust is golden, 30 to 35 minutes.
Transfer the brisket to a cutting board. Discard the
celery-herb bundle and skim the fat from the braising
liquid; thin the remaining liquid with water, if desired.
Slice the meat against the grain. Serve with the carrots,
onions and braising liquid.
