Brisket Roast 1074

Here's a simple recipe for a delicious brisket pot roast:

Ingredients:

• 3-4 pounds beef brisket
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 1 onion, sliced
• 2-3 cloves garlic, minced
• 4 carrots, peeled and cut into chunks
• 4 potatoes, peeled and cut into chunks
• 2 cups beef broth
• 1 cup red wine (optional)
• 2 sprigs fresh thyme (or 1 teaspoon dried thyme)
• 2 sprigs fresh rosemary (or 1 teaspoon dried rosemary)

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C).
2. Season the beef brisket generously with salt and pepper on both sides.
3. In a large oven-safe pot or Dutch oven, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the brisket and sear it on all sides until browned, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove the brisket from the pot and set aside.
4. In the same pot, add the sliced onion and minced garlic. Cook for 2-3 minutes until softened and fragrant.
5. Add the carrots and potatoes to the pot, arranging them around the edges.
6. Place the seared brisket on top of the vegetables in the pot.
7. Pour the beef broth and red wine (if using) over the brisket and vegetables. The liquid should come about halfway up the sides of the brisket.
8. Add the fresh thyme and rosemary sprigs to the pot.
9. Cover the pot with a lid and transfer it to the preheated oven.
10. Roast the brisket in the oven for 3-4 hours, or until it is fork-tender and falling apart.
11. Once the brisket is cooked, remove it from the pot and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing it thinly against the grain.
12. Serve the sliced brisket with the roasted vegetables and some of the cooking liquid spooned over the top.
