Ingredients

• 4 pounds Beef brisket
• 2 tablespoons Kosher salt
• 1 tablespoon Freshly ground black pepper
• 1 tablespoon Paprika
• 2 teaspoons Garlic powder
• 2 teaspoons Onion powder
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 large Yellow onions, sliced
• 3 large Carrots, cut into chunks
• 2 cups Beef broth
• 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
• 2 pieces Bay leaves
• 4 sprigs Fresh thyme

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).

Step 2

Pat the beef brisket dry with paper towels. Generously rub it with kosher salt, black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder to season on all sides.

Step 3

In a large, oven-safe roasting pan or Dutch oven, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear the brisket on all sides until it develops a golden-brown crust, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove the brisket and set it aside.

Step 4

In the same pan, add the sliced onions and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in the carrots and continue to cook for another 2-3 minutes.

Step 5

Deglaze the pan by pouring in the beef broth and Worcestershire sauce, scraping up any browned bits at the bottom with a wooden spoon. Bring the liquid to a gentle simmer.

Step 6

Return the seared brisket to the pan, fat-side up. Add bay leaves and thyme sprigs, then cover the pan tightly with a lid or aluminum foil.

Step 7

Transfer the pan to the preheated oven and cook for 4.5 to 5 hours, or until the brisket is fork-tender. Check occasionally to ensure there is enough liquid, adding more beef broth if needed.

Step 8

Once cooked, remove the pan from the oven and let the brisket rest for 15 minutes before slicing. Slice the brisket against the grain for maximum tenderness.

Step 9

Serve the brisket with the cooked vegetables and pan juices drizzled over the top. Enjoy!
