Ingredients

• 4 pounds beef brisket
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 tablespoon kosher salt
• 2 teaspoons black pepper
• 2 teaspoons paprika
• 2 teaspoons garlic powder
• 2 teaspoons onion powder
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 2 cups beef broth
• 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
• 1 yellow onion, sliced
• 4 garlic cloves, minced

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).

Step 2

Trim any excess fat from the brisket, leaving a thin layer for flavor. Pat the brisket dry with paper towels.

Step 3

In a small bowl, mix together kosher salt, black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and dried thyme to make the spice rub.

Step 4

Rub the olive oil all over the brisket, then coat it generously with the spice rub, pressing it into the meat to ensure good coverage.

Step 5

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the brisket for 2-3 minutes on each side until browned, creating a flavorful crust. Transfer the brisket to a large roasting pan.

Step 6

In a medium bowl, whisk together beef broth and Worcestershire sauce. Pour the mixture around the brisket in the roasting pan.

Step 7

Scatter the sliced onion and minced garlic around the brisket in the pan.

Step 8

Cover the roasting pan tightly with foil to seal in the moisture.

Step 9

Place the pan in the preheated oven and cook for approximately 5 hours, or until the brisket is fork-tender. Check the liquid level halfway through cooking, and add more beef broth if needed to prevent drying out.

Step 10

Once cooked, remove the pan from the oven and let the brisket rest, still covered, for 20 minutes.

Step 11

Slice the brisket against the grain into thin slices, and serve with the pan juices spooned over the top.
