Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 lbs beef brisket
  • 2 cups dry red wine (e.g., Cabernet Sauvignon)
  • 2 large sweet onions, sliced
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 cups low-sodium beef broth
  • 3 sprigs fresh thyme
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 3 medium carrots, sliced
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). In a large Dutch oven, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Season brisket with salt and pepper, then sear for about 4-5 minutes on each side until browned. Remove and set aside.
  2. In the same pot, sauté sliced onions and minced garlic in the remaining fat for about 3 minutes until fragrant.
  3. Deglaze the pot by adding red wine, scraping up any brown bits. Simmer for 5 minutes to evaporate some alcohol.
  4. Return the brisket to the pot along with beef broth, thyme sprigs, bay leaves, and carrots. Cover tightly and transfer to the oven for 3-4 hours.
  5. After cooking, let the brisket rest for 20 minutes before slicing against the grain.
