Description
A delicious and tender oven-braised brisket recipe that is perfect for family gatherings or special occasions.
Ingredients
Scale
- 3 to 4 pounds beef brisket
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 large onion, sliced
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 cups beef broth
- 1 cup red wine (optional, can substitute with more beef broth)
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 300°F.
- In a large, heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Season the brisket with salt and pepper, then sear it in the pot for about 4-5 minutes on each side until browned. Remove the brisket and set it aside.
- In the same pot, add the sliced onion and cook for about 5 minutes until softened. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.
- Stir in the beef broth, red wine, tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar, thyme, and rosemary. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
- Return the brisket to the pot, fat side up, and cover it with a lid. Transfer the pot to the preheated oven and braise for 3 to 4 hours, or until the brisket is tender and easily shredded with a fork.
- Once done, remove the brisket from the pot and let it rest for 15 minutes before slicing. Serve with the braising liquid spooned over the top.
Notes
- For a richer flavor, add a couple of bay leaves to the braising liquid.
- If you prefer a thicker sauce, remove the brisket after cooking and simmer the liquid on the stovetop until it reduces to your desired consistency.
