Beef Brisket Braise

Ingredients

• 2 lb beef brisket
• 3 medium carrots
• 1 large onion
• 3 cloves garlic
• 2 cups beef broth
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tsp dried thyme
• 1 tsp salt

Instructions

1. 1

   Pat the 2 lb beef brisket dry and season all over with the 1 tsp salt and a few grinds of black pepper.

2. 2

   Heat the 2 tbsp olive oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high. Sear the brisket until deeply browned on both sides, about 4 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate.

3. 3

   Reduce heat to medium. Add the 1 sliced onion and 3 sliced carrots, cooking until the onion is soft and golden, about 6 minutes. Stir in the 3 minced garlic cloves and 1 tsp dried thyme, cooking 1 minute until fragrant.

4. 4

   Return the brisket to the pot. Pour in the 2 cups beef broth, scraping up any browned bits. Bring to a simmer, then cover and reduce heat to low.

5. 5

   Simmer gently until the brisket is fork-tender, about 2.5 to 3 hours. Check occasionally, adding a splash of water if the liquid runs low.

6. 6

   Transfer the brisket to a cutting board and let rest 10 minutes. Slice against the grain and serve with the carrots and pan sauce spooned over the top.
