Ingredients

• 3 pounds beef brisket

• 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
• 1/4 cup tomato paste
• 2 teaspoons smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• Flaky sea salt, to taste

Method

1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C).
2. Pat the beef brisket dry with paper towels and season generously with salt and black pepper.
3. Heat olive oil in a large ovenproof pot over medium-high heat. Sear the brisket on all sides until browned, about 8-10 minutes total.
4. Remove the brisket from the pot and set aside. In the same pot, add sliced onions and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
5. Stir in the minced garlic, smoked paprika, and dried thyme. Cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
6. Add beef broth, apple cider vinegar, and tomato paste to the pot. Stir well to combine and bring to a simmer.
7. Return the brisket to the pot, cover with a lid, and place in the preheated oven.
8. Cook for 4-5 hours, or until the brisket is tender and can be easily pulled apart with a fork.
9. Remove the brisket from the oven and let it rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing.
10. Serve the sliced brisket with the cooked onions and pan juices.
