Ingredients

• 4 pounds beef brisket
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 3 large yellow onions, sliced
• 4 large carrots, peeled and chopped into chunks
• 3 stalks celery stalks, chopped
• 4 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 2 cups beef stock
• 1 15-ounce can crushed tomatoes
• 1 cup dry red wine
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 2 teaspoons salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).

Step 2

Heat the olive oil in a large, heavy oven-safe pot (such as a Dutch oven) over medium-high heat.

Step 3

Season the brisket on both sides with 1 teaspoon of salt and 1 teaspoon of black pepper.

Step 4

Sear the brisket in the hot oil for 3-4 minutes per side until browned. Remove the brisket and set aside.

Step 5

Reduce the heat to medium and add the sliced onions to the pot. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until softened and lightly golden.

Step 6

Stir in the garlic, carrots, and celery, cooking for another 2-3 minutes until fragrant.

Step 7

Add the beef stock, crushed tomatoes, red wine, brown sugar, paprika, thyme, and the remaining teaspoon of salt. Stir to combine.

Step 8

Return the brisket to the pot, nestling it into the sauce and vegetables. Spoon some of the sauce over the top of the brisket.

Step 9

Cover the pot with a tight-fitting lid and transfer to the preheated oven.

Step 10

Cook for 3.5 to 4 hours, basting the brisket with the pan juices every hour, until the meat is fork-tender.

Step 11

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

Step 12

Serve the brisket with the vegetables and sauce from the pot, garnished with fresh parsley if desired.
