Instructions

Step 1: Preheat your oven to 275°F. Rub 3 lbs beef brisket evenly with 2 tsp kosher salt, 1 tsp black pepper, and 1 tsp smoked paprika. Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering; sear the brisket for 4 minutes per side until deeply browned.
Step 2: Remove the brisket and sauté 1 cup chopped yellow onion and 4 minced garlic cloves in the same skillet over medium heat for 3-4 minutes until softened and fragrant. Pour in 2 cups beef broth, scraping up browned bits from the pan.
Step 3: Return the brisket to the skillet, spoon some broth over the top, and cover tightly with foil. Roast in the oven for 3-4 hours until the brisket is fork-tender.
Step 4: Remove the brisket from the oven and transfer to a cutting board to rest for 15 minutes. Meanwhile, place the skillet with cooking liquid over medium heat, stir in 1 cup shredded Wisconsin sharp cheddar cheese and 1 tbsp fresh thyme leaves, cooking until the cheese melts and the sauce thickens, about 3 minutes.
Step 5: Slice the brisket against the grain into 1/4-inch slices and serve drizzled with the cheddar pan sauce.
