Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 pounds beef brisket
- 2 teaspoons kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 large yellow onions, sliced
- 4 medium carrots, peeled and cut into chunks
- 2 cups beef broth
- 2 leaves bay leaves
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).
Rinse and pat dry the brisket. Trim any excess fat, but leave a thin layer for flavor.
In a small bowl, mix together the kosher salt, black pepper, garlic powder, smoked paprika, onion powder, dried oregano, and dried thyme.
Rub the spice mixture evenly over the brisket, ensuring all sides are coated well.
Heat the olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
Sear the brisket in the hot oil for about 4-5 minutes on each side until nicely browned. Remove brisket from the pan and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the sliced onions and carrots. Sauté for about 5 minutes until they start to soften and caramelize slightly.
Return the brisket to the skillet, placing it atop the vegetables.
Pour in the beef broth, making sure the brisket is partially submerged. Add the bay leaves.
Cover the skillet or Dutch oven with a lid or foil and transfer it to the preheated oven.
Roast in the oven for about 3.5 to 4 hours until the brisket is fork-tender. Check halfway and add more broth if necessary to keep the brisket moist.
Once done, remove from the oven and let it rest for at least 10 minutes before slicing against the grain.
Serve the sliced brisket with the roasted vegetables on the side, drizzling some of the pan juices over the top for added flavor.
