Ingredients

• 4 pounds Beef brisket
• 4 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 large Yellow onion, sliced
• 1 cup Ketchup
• 1 cup Brown sugar
• 1 cup Apple cider vinegar
• 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 cups Beef broth
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 325°F (165°C).

Step 2

Pat the beef brisket dry with paper towels. Season it on both sides with salt and black pepper.

Step 3

In a large, heavy-duty oven-safe pot or Dutch oven, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear the brisket for 4-5 minutes on each side until browned. Remove the brisket and set aside.

Step 4

In the same pot, add the sliced onion and garlic. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until fragrant and softened.

Step 5

Reduce the heat to medium-low and stir in the ketchup, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, and paprika. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the mixture is bubbling.

Step 6

Add the beef broth to the pot and stir well to combine, scraping the bottom of the pot to loosen any browned bits.

Step 7

Return the brisket to the pot, making sure it is mostly submerged in the liquid. Cover the pot with a tight-fitting lid.

Step 8

Place the pot in the preheated oven and cook the brisket for 3.5 to 4 hours, or until it is fork-tender.

Step 9

Check the pot every hour to ensure the liquid has not reduced too much. If needed, add a bit more beef broth or water to maintain the level of liquid.

Step 10

Once the brisket is cooked, remove it from the pot and let it rest on a cutting board for 10 minutes. Slice against the grain into thin slices.

Step 11

Serve the brisket with the pan sauce spooned over the top. Pair with mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or your favorite sides.
