Ingredients

• 4 pounds Beef brisket
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 teaspoons Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 large Yellow onion
• 4 Garlic cloves
• 3 tablespoons Tomato paste
• 1 28-ounce can Canned crushed tomatoes
• 1.5 cups Beef broth
• 3 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
• 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon Dried thyme

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C).

Step 2

Heat a large Dutch oven or oven-safe pot over medium-high heat and add the olive oil.

Step 3

Season the brisket with salt and pepper on both sides, then sear it in the hot oil for 4-5 minutes per side until browned. Remove the brisket and set it aside.

Step 4

Thinly slice the onions and mince the garlic cloves. Add them to the pot and sauté for 5-7 minutes until softened and aromatic.

Step 5

Stir in the tomato paste and cook for 1-2 minutes to develop its flavor.

Step 6

Add the crushed tomatoes, beef broth, apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, Dijon mustard, smoked paprika, and dried thyme. Stir to combine, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot.

Step 7

Return the brisket to the pot, ensuring it is partially submerged in the sauce.

Step 8

Cover the pot tightly with a lid and transfer it to the preheated oven.

Step 9

Cook for 3.5 to 4 hours, turning the brisket halfway through, until the meat is tender and easily pulls apart with a fork.

Step 10

Remove the pot from the oven and let the brisket rest for 10-15 minutes. Slice it against the grain.

Step 11

Serve the brisket with the sauce spooned over the top. It pairs beautifully with mashed potatoes or roasted vegetables.
