Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 300°F (150°C). Rub 3 lbs beef brisket evenly with 1 1/2 tsp salt and 1 tsp black pepper.
  2. Step 2: Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large oven-safe Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Sear the brisket for 4-5 minutes per side until deeply browned. Remove brisket and set aside.
  3. Step 3: Add 1 large sliced onion, 6 whole peeled garlic cloves, 3 sprigs fresh thyme, and 2 sprigs fresh rosemary to the pot. Sauté for 3 minutes until fragrant.
  4. Step 4: Pour in 2 cups beef broth, scraping the bottom of the pot to loosen browned bits.
  5. Step 5: Return the brisket to the pot, cover tightly with a lid, and place in the preheated oven.
  6. Step 6: Slow cook for 3 to 4 hours until the brisket is fork-tender.
  7. Step 7: Remove brisket from the pot, let it rest for 15 minutes before slicing against the grain. Serve with pan juices and cooked onions.
