Ingredients

• 3 pounds beef brisket
• 12 ounces portabella mushrooms
• 1 large yellow onion
• 4 cloves garlic cloves
• 2 cups beef broth
• 1 cup dry red wine
• 2 tablespoons tomato paste
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 6 sprigs fresh thyme
• 2 leaves bay leaves
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1.5 teaspoons kosher salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C).

Step 2

Pat the brisket dry with paper towels and season both sides with 1 teaspoon of kosher salt, 1 teaspoon of black pepper, and paprika.

Step 3

In a large oven-safe pot or Dutch oven, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear the brisket for 4-5 minutes per side until deeply browned. Remove from the pot and set aside.

Step 4

Reduce the heat to medium and add the diced onion to the pot. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened.

Step 5

Add minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.

Step 6

Stir in the tomato paste and cook for 1-2 minutes to deepen its flavor.

Step 7

Deglaze the pot with red wine, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom. Let it simmer for 2-3 minutes to reduce slightly.

Step 8

Add beef broth, thyme sprigs, bay leaves, and the seared brisket back into the pot. Ensure the liquid reaches halfway up the brisket. Cover with a lid.

Step 9

Place the pot in the preheated oven and cook for 3 hours, flipping the brisket halfway through.

Step 10

While the brisket cooks, clean and slice the portabella mushrooms into thick strips.

Step 11

After 3 hours, add the mushrooms to the pot, submerging them slightly in the sauce. Cover and cook for an additional hour.

Step 12

Remove the pot from the oven and discard the thyme sprigs and bay leaves.

Step 13

Let the brisket rest in the pot for 15 minutes before slicing against the grain. Serve with mushrooms and a generous amount of sauce drizzled on top.
