• 2 teaspoons kosher salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 cups beef broth
• 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).

Step 2

In a small bowl, mix together the kosher salt, black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder.

Step 3

Rub the spice mixture all over the beef brisket, ensuring it is evenly coated.

Step 4

Heat the olive oil in a large oven-safe Dutch oven or roasting pan over medium-high heat.

Step 6

In the same pan, add the sliced onion and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened.

Step 7

Pour in the beef broth and Worcestershire sauce, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.

Step 8

Add the seared brisket back into the pan, fat side up. Arrange the carrots and bay leaves around the brisket.

Step 9

Cover the pan tightly with a lid or foil and transfer it to the preheated oven.

Step 10

Cook for 3.5 to 4 hours, or until the brisket is fork-tender.

Step 11

Remove the brisket from the oven and let it rest for 15 minutes before slicing against the grain.

Step 12

Serve the brisket with the pan juices and vegetables for a hearty, comforting meal.
