🥘 Ingredients

14 items

• 4 pounds beef brisket
• 2 teaspoons kosher salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 large yellow onions
• 5 cloves garlic cloves
• 2 cups beef broth
• 3 tablespoons tomato paste
• 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
• 2 bay leaves
• 4 medium carrots
• 3 stalks celery stalks

📝 Instructions

10 steps

1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C).

2. Pat the brisket dry with paper towels. Season both sides with kosher salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, and garlic powder.

3. Heat the olive oil in a large oven-safe Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Sear the brisket on both sides for 4-5 minutes per side, until browned. Remove the brisket and set it aside.

4. Slice the onions into half-moons and mince the garlic. In the same Dutch oven, add the onions and garlic and sauté for 5-6 minutes, until softened.

5. Stir in the tomato paste and cook for 1 minute to caramelize it slightly.

6. Add the beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, and bay leaves. Bring the mixture to a simmer, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot.

7. Return the brisket to the Dutch oven, ensuring it is mostly submerged in the liquid.

8. Peel the carrots and chop them into 2-inch pieces. Chop the celery stalks into similar-sized pieces. Add the carrots and celery around the brisket.

9. Cover the Dutch oven with its lid and transfer it to the preheated oven. Cook for 3 1/2 to 4 hours, or until the brisket is fork-tender.

10. Remove the brisket from the oven and let it rest for 15 minutes before slicing against the grain. Strain and skim the sauce if desired, and serve the brisket with the vegetables and sauce spooned over the top.
