Ingredients

• 3 pounds beef brisket, trimmed
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 large onions, sliced
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 cups beef broth
• 1 cup water
• 2 tablespoons tomato paste
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 bay leaf

Method

1. Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).
2. Heat olive oil in a large ovenproof pot over medium heat. Sear the brisket on all sides until browned, about 4-5 minutes per side. Remove the brisket and set aside.
3. In the same pot, add the sliced onions and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.
4. Add the beef broth, water, tomato paste, dried thyme, salt, black pepper, and bay leaf to the pot, stirring to combine.
5. Return the brisket to the pot, ensuring it's partially submerged in the liquid. Cover the pot with a lid.
6. Transfer the pot to the preheated oven and cook for 3 1/2 to 4 hours, or until the brisket is fork-tender.
7. Remove the pot from the oven and allow the brisket to rest for 10 minutes before slicing against the grain. Serve with the cooking juices.
