Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat oven to 300°F. Pat dry 4 lbs beef brisket and rub with 2 tsp salt and 1 tsp black pepper. Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large ovenproof pot over medium-high heat, sear brisket on all sides until browned, about 4 minutes per side.
- Step 2: Remove brisket and add 5 minced garlic cloves, 1/2 cup red wine, and 1/4 cup honey to deglaze the pot, scraping up browned bits for 2 minutes until sauce thickens slightly.
- Step 3: Return brisket to pot, nestle in 3 large carrots, 2 large parsnips, and 1 large quartered yellow onion. Sprinkle with 2 tbsp fresh thyme.
- Step 4: Cover and roast in oven for 3 hours until brisket is fork-tender and vegetables are soft. Baste brisket with pan juices every hour to keep moist and flavorful.
- Step 5: Let brisket rest 15 minutes before slicing thinly against the grain. Serve with roasted root vegetables and pan glaze spooned over top.
