Ingredients

• 4 pounds beef brisket
• 2 teaspoons kosher salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 40 whole garlic cloves
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 large yellow onions
• 3 medium carrots
• 3 medium celery stalks
• 2 cups beef broth
• 1 cup dry white wine
• 4 sprigs fresh thyme
• 2 bay leaves

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C).

Step 2

Pat the brisket dry with paper towels and generously season both sides with kosher salt, black pepper, and paprika.

Step 3

Heat the olive oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Sear the brisket on both sides for about 4-5 minutes per side, until a golden-brown crust forms. Remove the brisket and set aside.

Step 4

Peel the 40 garlic cloves (if not already peeled). Slice the yellow onions, and chop the carrots and celery stalks into bite-sized pieces.

Step 5

In the same Dutch oven, reduce the heat to medium and add the onions. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened.

Step 6

Add the garlic cloves, carrots, and celery to the Dutch oven. Cook for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 7

Pour in the beef broth and white wine, scraping the bottom of the Dutch oven to deglaze and release any browned bits.

Step 8

Return the brisket to the Dutch oven, nestling it into the vegetables and liquid. Add the thyme sprigs and bay leaves on top.

Step 9

Cover the Dutch oven with the lid and transfer to the preheated oven.

Step 10

Cook for 3.5-4 hours, or until the brisket is fork-tender. Check halfway through cooking, and if needed, add more beef broth to maintain a liquid level that comes halfway up the brisket.

Step 11

Remove the Dutch oven from the oven and let the brisket rest, covered, for 15 minutes before slicing against the grain.

Step 12

Serve the brisket with the tender garlic cloves, vegetables, and juices spooned over the top. Pair with mashed potatoes or crusty bread for a complete meal.
