Ingredients

• 5 pounds beef brisket
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 teaspoons kosher salt
• 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 2 large yellow onions
• 4 medium carrots
• 3 medium celery stalks
• 5 whole garlic cloves
• 2 cups beef broth
• 1 cup red wine
• 5 sprigs fresh thyme
• 2 whole bay leaves

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C).

Step 2

Pat the brisket dry with paper towels. Rub the brisket all over with olive oil.

Step 3

Combine kosher salt, freshly ground black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and smoked paprika in a small bowl. Rub this seasoning mix evenly over the entire brisket.

Step 4

Slice the onions into half-moons. Peel and chop the carrots into large chunks. Chop the celery stalks similarly. Arrange the vegetables and garlic cloves in the bottom of a roasting pan.

Step 5

Place the seasoned brisket on top of the vegetables, fat side up.

Step 6

Pour the beef broth and red wine around the brisket. Add the fresh thyme sprigs and bay leaves to the liquid.

Step 7

Cover the roaster tightly with foil or a lid. Place it in the preheated oven and roast for about 3 to 4 hours, or until the brisket is very tender.

Step 8

Check occasionally to ensure that the liquid level in the pan remains at least halfway up the brisket, adding more broth if necessary.

Step 9

Once done, remove the brisket from the oven and let it rest, covered, for about 20-30 minutes before slicing.

Step 10

For serving, slice the brisket against the grain and serve with the roasted vegetables and strained pan juices as gravy.
