Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 5 pounds beef brisket
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 teaspoons kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 2 large yellow onions
- 4 medium carrots
- 3 medium celery stalks
- 5 whole garlic cloves
- 2 cups beef broth
- 1 cup red wine
- 5 sprigs fresh thyme
- 2 whole bay leaves
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C).
Pat the brisket dry with paper towels. Rub the brisket all over with olive oil.
Combine kosher salt, freshly ground black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and smoked paprika in a small bowl. Rub this seasoning mix evenly over the entire brisket.
Slice the onions into half-moons. Peel and chop the carrots into large chunks. Chop the celery stalks similarly. Arrange the vegetables and garlic cloves in the bottom of a roasting pan.
Place the seasoned brisket on top of the vegetables, fat side up.
Pour the beef broth and red wine around the brisket. Add the fresh thyme sprigs and bay leaves to the liquid.
Cover the roaster tightly with foil or a lid. Place it in the preheated oven and roast for about 3 to 4 hours, or until the brisket is very tender.
Check occasionally to ensure that the liquid level in the pan remains at least halfway up the brisket, adding more broth if necessary.
Once done, remove the brisket from the oven and let it rest, covered, for about 20-30 minutes before slicing.
For serving, slice the brisket against the grain and serve with the roasted vegetables and strained pan juices as gravy.
