Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 lbs Beef brisket
- 1 tbsp Salt
- 1 tsp Black pepper
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
- 1 large Yellow onion, sliced
- 4 cloves Garlic, minced
- 2 cups Beef broth
- 1 can Cranberry sauce (whole berry)
- 1 tsp Dried thyme
- 1 tsp Dried rosemary
- 3 medium Carrots, peeled and chopped
- 2 medium Parsnips, peeled and chopped
- 4 medium Potatoes, quartered
- 2 units Bay leaves
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C).
Pat the beef brisket dry with paper towels and season generously with salt and black pepper on all sides.
Heat olive oil in a large Dutch oven or oven-safe pot over medium-high heat.
Sear the brisket on all sides until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove from the pot and set aside.
Lower the heat to medium and add the sliced onion. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until softened and lightly golden.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Pour in the beef broth, scraping the bottom of the pot to deglaze and lift any browned bits.
Stir in the cranberry sauce, dried thyme, and dried rosemary until well combined.
Return the brisket to the pot, making sure it is mostly submerged in the liquid.
Add the chopped carrots, parsnips, potatoes, and bay leaves around the brisket.
Cover the pot with a tight-fitting lid and transfer it to the oven.
Roast for 3.5 to 4 hours, basting the brisket and vegetables with the cooking liquid every hour, until the brisket is fork-tender.
Remove the pot from the oven and allow the brisket to rest for 10 minutes before slicing against the grain.
Serve the sliced brisket with the vegetables and spoon the cranberry-infused sauce over the top. Enjoy!
