Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 325°F.

2. Season the brisket generously with salt and pepper.

3. Heat the olive oil in a large, oven-safe Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat. Sear the brisket on all sides until a deep, caramelized crust forms, about 3-4 minutes per side.

4. Remove the brisket from the pot and set aside. Reduce the heat to medium and add the onions to the pot. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are soft and translucent, about 5-7 minutes.

5. Add the garlic and cook for an additional minute, stirring constantly, until fragrant.

6. Pour in the beef broth and red wine, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot. Stir in the tomato paste, bay leaves, thyme, smoked paprika, and cumin.

7. Return the brisket to the pot, cover with a lid, and transfer to the preheated oven. Braise for 2.5 to 3 hours, or until the brisket is fork-tender.

8. Remove the pot from the oven and transfer the brisket to a cutting board. Let rest for 15 minutes before slicing against the grain.

9. Serve the sliced brisket with the braising liquid spooned over the top. Enjoy!

Notes

For best results, allow the brisket to marinate in the braising liquid overnight before cooking. This helps to develop the flavors even further. You can also make this recipe in a slow cooker, cooking on low for 8-10 hours.
