Ingredients

• 4 pounds Beef brisket
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 whole, sliced Onion, large
• 6 whole, minced Garlic cloves
• 4 medium, cut into chunks Carrots
• 3 whole, chopped Celery stalks
• 2 cups Low-sodium beef broth
• 2 tablespoons Tomato paste
• 3 sprigs Fresh thyme
• 2 whole Bay leaves
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons, chopped Fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).

Step 2

Pat the brisket dry using paper towels. Rub black pepper all over the brisket.

Step 3

In a large Dutch oven or heavy roasting pan, heat olive oil over medium-high heat.

Step 4

Once the oil is hot, sear the brisket on all sides until the exterior is browned, about 8 minutes per side. Remove the brisket and set aside.

Step 5

In the same pot, add onions, carrots, celery, and garlic. Sauté for about 5 minutes until the onions are translucent.

Step 6

Stir in the tomato paste and cook for another 2 minutes.

Step 7

Pour in the low-sodium beef broth, scraping the bottom of the pot to deglaze any browned bits.

Step 8

Return the brisket to the pot. Add thyme sprigs and bay leaves around the brisket.

Step 9

Cover the pot with a tight-fitting lid or aluminum foil, and transfer it to the preheated oven.

Step 10

Roast for about 3 to 4 hours or until the brisket is fork-tender. Turn the brisket halfway through the cooking time.

Step 11

Once cooked, remove the brisket from the pot and let it rest on a cutting board for about 15 minutes.

Step 12

Slice the brisket against the grain into thin pieces.

Step 13

Serve with the vegetables and juices from the pot, and garnish with chopped fresh parsley.
