Ingredients

• 4 pounds Beef brisket
• 1 medium Yellow onion
• 4 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 cup Beef broth
• 3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
• 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
• 2 teaspoons Paprika
• 2 teaspoons Salt
• 1.5 teaspoons Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika (optional)
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 tablespoon All-purpose flour
• 1 bag Large oven bag

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C).

Step 2

Thinly slice the yellow onion and set aside.

Step 3

In a small bowl, combine minced garlic, brown sugar, paprika, salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika (if using).

Step 4

Rub the spice mixture evenly over the beef brisket, ensuring all sides are coated generously.

Step 5

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the brisket for 2-3 minutes on each side until a nice crust forms. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

Step 6

Sprinkle the inside of the oven bag with the all-purpose flour. Shake the bag well to evenly coat the interior; this helps prevent the bag from bursting while cooking.

Step 7

Place the sliced onions inside the oven bag, creating a layer at the bottom. Add the seared brisket on top of the onions.

Step 8

In a mixing cup, whisk together beef broth and Worcestershire sauce. Pour the mixture into the oven bag around the brisket.

Step 9

Seal the oven bag tightly with the provided tie. Make 4-5 small slits in the top of the bag using scissors to allow steam to escape while cooking.

Step 10

Transfer the bagged brisket to a large roasting pan, ensuring the bag does not hang over the pan's edges.

Step 11

Cook the brisket in the preheated oven for approximately 4 hours, or until the meat is fork-tender.

Step 12

Carefully remove the roasting pan from the oven. Let the brisket rest in the bag for 15-20 minutes before opening to retain juices.

Step 13

Cut open the oven bag and transfer the brisket to a cutting board. Slice the brisket against the grain for maximum tenderness.

Step 14

Serve alongside the cooked onions and the natural juices from the bag as a gravy. Enjoy!
