Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pounds Beef brisket
- 1 medium Yellow onion
- 4 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 cup Beef broth
- 3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons Paprika
- 2 teaspoons Salt
- 1.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika (optional)
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon All-purpose flour
- 1 bag Large oven bag
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C).
Thinly slice the yellow onion and set aside.
In a small bowl, combine minced garlic, brown sugar, paprika, salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika (if using).
Rub the spice mixture evenly over the beef brisket, ensuring all sides are coated generously.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the brisket for 2-3 minutes on each side until a nice crust forms. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
Sprinkle the inside of the oven bag with the all-purpose flour. Shake the bag well to evenly coat the interior; this helps prevent the bag from bursting while cooking.
Place the sliced onions inside the oven bag, creating a layer at the bottom. Add the seared brisket on top of the onions.
In a mixing cup, whisk together beef broth and Worcestershire sauce. Pour the mixture into the oven bag around the brisket.
Seal the oven bag tightly with the provided tie. Make 4-5 small slits in the top of the bag using scissors to allow steam to escape while cooking.
Transfer the bagged brisket to a large roasting pan, ensuring the bag does not hang over the pan's edges.
Cook the brisket in the preheated oven for approximately 4 hours, or until the meat is fork-tender.
Carefully remove the roasting pan from the oven. Let the brisket rest in the bag for 15-20 minutes before opening to retain juices.
Cut open the oven bag and transfer the brisket to a cutting board. Slice the brisket against the grain for maximum tenderness.
Serve alongside the cooked onions and the natural juices from the bag as a gravy. Enjoy!
