Preheat your oven to 300Β°F (150Β°C).
Trim any excess fat from the beef brisket if needed.
In a small bowl, mix together kosher salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika.
Rub the seasoning mixture all over the brisket, ensuring an even coat on both sides.
Heat olive oil in a large, oven-safe skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
Sear the brisket on both sides until it develops a deep brown crust, about 4-5 minutes per side. Remove the brisket and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the sliced onion and sautΓ© for 3-4 minutes until slightly softened.
Pour in the beef broth and Worcestershire sauce, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon.
Return the seared brisket to the skillet, making sure some of the liquid coats the top of the meat. Cover the skillet tightly with a lid or aluminum foil.
Transfer the skillet to the oven and cook for 3.5 to 4 hours, or until the brisket is fork-tender.
Remove the brisket from the oven and let it rest in the pan for 10-15 minutes before slicing against the grain.
Serve with the cooked onions and a drizzle of the flavorful sauce from the pan. Enjoy!
