Tender and flavorful, this classic beef brisket is slow-cooked to perfection in a rich sauce with onions and red wine.
Ingredients
- 4 pounds beef brisket
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 large onions, sliced
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 cups beef broth
- 1 cup red wine
- 1/4 cup tomato paste
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 sprigs fresh thyme
- 2 bay leaves
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).
- Step 2: Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
- Step 3: Season the brisket generously with salt and pepper, then sear it in the pot until browned on all sides, about 4 minutes per side.
- Step 4: Remove the brisket and set aside. In the same pot, add onions and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
- Step 5: Stir in the garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
- Step 6: Add beef broth, red wine, tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar, smoked paprika, thyme, and bay leaves to the pot. Stir to combine.
- Step 7: Return the brisket to the pot, ensuring it is covered with the liquid. Bring to a simmer.
- Step 8: Cover the pot with a lid and transfer to the preheated oven. Cook for 3-4 hours, or until the brisket is fork-tender.
- Step 9: Once cooked, remove the brisket from the pot and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
- Step 10: Serve the sliced brisket with the sauce from the pot poured over the top.
