INGREDIENTS

3 lbs beef brisket
2 large onions, thinly sliced
4 garlic cloves, minced
2 cups beef broth
1 cup red wine (optional; can substitute with more beef broth)
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
3 tablespoons olive oil
2 bay leaves

INSTRUCTIONS

Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C). Season the brisket on both sides with salt, pepper, paprika, and dried thyme.

In a large oven-proof pot or Dutch oven, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the brisket and sear each side for about 4-5 minutes until it forms a brown crust. Remove the brisket and set aside.

In the same pot, add the sliced onions and minced garlic. Sauté until the onions are translucent.

Stir in tomato paste and cook for a minute. Slowly add red wine (or extra beef broth), scraping the bottom of the pot to loosen any browned bits. Place the brisket back into the pot.

Add beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, and bay leaves. Bring to a simmer. Cover the pot with a lid and place it in the preheated oven.

Cook in the oven for about 3 hours, or until the brisket is very tender.

Once cooked, remove the brisket from the oven and let it rest for about 20 minutes before slicing.

Slice the brisket against the grain and serve with the cooking juices and onions.
