Ingredients

• 2 pounds beef brisket
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 large, finely chopped onion
• 4 minced garlic cloves
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1.5 teaspoons ground cumin
• 2 tablespoons tomato paste
• 2 cups beef broth
• 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
• 1 tablespoon brown sugar
• 3 medium, cut into 2-inch pieces carrots
• 4 medium, quartered potatoes
• 1 bay leaf
• 2 tablespoons, chopped (optional for garnish) fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C).

Step 2

Season the beef brisket on all sides with paprika, ground black pepper, kosher salt, and ground cumin.

Step 3

In a large, oven-safe pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned brisket and sear for 3-4 minutes on each side or until browned. Remove the brisket and set aside.

Step 4

Add the chopped onion to the pot and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.

Step 5

Stir in the tomato paste and cook for 1-2 minutes to caramelize slightly. Add the beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, and brown sugar, and stir to combine.

Step 6

Return the seared brisket to the pot along with the bay leaf. Bring the mixture to a simmer.

Step 7

Cover the pot with a lid and transfer it to the preheated oven. Cook for 2 hours, basting the brisket with the sauce occasionally.

Step 8

After 2 hours, add the carrots and potatoes to the pot, surrounding the brisket. Ensure the vegetables are partially submerged in the braising liquid.

Step 9

Cover and return the pot to the oven. Cook for an additional 1 hour, or until the beef is fork-tender and the vegetables are cooked through.

Step 10

Remove the pot from the oven and discard the bay leaf. Let the brisket rest for 10 minutes before slicing against the grain.

Step 11

Serve the slices of brisket with the vegetables and sauce spooned over the top. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired. Enjoy!
