Preheat the oven to 300Β°F (150Β°C).
Pat the brisket dry with paper towels and season it on all sides with salt and black pepper.
In a large oven-safe pot or Dutch oven, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear the brisket on both sides until browned, about 4-5 minutes per side. Remove the brisket and set aside.
Slice the onions and mince the garlic cloves. In the same pot, add the onions and cook until they are soft and lightly caramelized, about 8-10 minutes.
Add minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
Stir in the tomato paste and cook for another 2 minutes, then add the beef broth, scraping any browned bits from the pot's bottom.
Return the brisket to the pot, adding the carrots, celery stalks, bay leaves, and cayenne pepper around the brisket.
Cover the pot with a lid or aluminum foil and transfer it to the preheated oven.
Roast for approximately 3 hours, checking occasionally to ensure the liquid has not evaporated β adding more beef broth or water if necessary.
Uncover the pot and cook for an additional hour, allowing the brisket to develop a crust and the vegetables to become extremely tender.
After 4 hours, remove the pot from the oven and let the brisket rest for 15 minutes before slicing against the grain.
Serve with the cooked vegetables and a little bit of the pot's juices spooned over the top.
