Ingredients
3–4 lbs (1.4–1.8 kg) beef brisket
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp kosher salt
1 tsp black pepper
1 tsp smoked paprika
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp onion powder
1 tsp dried thyme
1 tsp dried rosemary
2 tbsp unsalted butter
1 large yellow onion, sliced
4 cloves garlic, minced
4 large carrots, cut into chunks
1½ lbs baby potatoes
2 celery stalks, chopped
2 cups beef broth
2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
2 tbsp tomato paste
2 bay leaves
2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 325°F (163°C).
2. Pat the brisket dry and season all sides with salt, pepper, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, thyme, and rosemary.
3. Heat olive oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat and sear the brisket for 4–5 minutes per side until deeply browned. Remove and set aside.
4. Melt the butter in the same pot. Add the onion, carrots, and celery, and cook for 5 minutes until slightly softened.
5. Stir in the garlic and tomato paste and cook for 1 minute.
6. Pour in the beef broth and Worcestershire sauce, scraping up the browned bits from the bottom of the pot.
7. Add the baby potatoes and bay leaves.
8. Return the brisket to the Dutch oven, nestling it into the vegetables and broth.
9. Cover tightly and roast for 3½–4 hours, or until the brisket is fork-tender.
10. Remove the brisket and let it rest for 15 minutes before slicing against the grain.
11. Serve the sliced brisket with the vegetables, spoon the rich pan juices over the top, garnish with fresh parsley, and enjoy.
Notes
Always sear the brisket first to develop deep flavor.
Slice the brisket against the grain for the most tender bites.
Leftovers taste even better the next day and can be refrigerated for up to 4 days.
Freeze portions with the gravy for up to 3 months for an easy future meal.
