Ingredients

• 3 lbs Beef brisket
• 1 tbsp Kosher salt
• 1 tbsp Black pepper
• 1 tsp Garlic powder
• 1 tsp Smoked paprika
• 2 tbsp Olive oil
• 2 cups Beef broth
• 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
• 1 large Yellow onion, sliced

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).

Step 2

Trim any excess fat from the beef brisket if needed.

Step 3

In a small bowl, mix together kosher salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika.

Step 4

Rub the seasoning mixture all over the brisket, ensuring an even coat on both sides.

Step 5

Heat olive oil in a large, oven-safe skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat.

Step 6

Sear the brisket on both sides until it develops a deep brown crust, about 4-5 minutes per side. Remove the brisket and set aside.

Step 7

In the same skillet, add the sliced onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until slightly softened.

Step 8

Pour in the beef broth and Worcestershire sauce, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon.

Step 9

Return the seared brisket to the skillet, making sure some of the liquid coats the top of the meat. Cover the skillet tightly with a lid or aluminum foil.

Step 10

Transfer the skillet to the oven and cook for 3.5 to 4 hours, or until the brisket is fork-tender.

Step 11

Remove the brisket from the oven and let it rest in the pan for 10-15 minutes before slicing against the grain.

Step 12

Serve with the cooked onions and a drizzle of the flavorful sauce from the pan. Enjoy!
