Beef Brisket

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Brisket

    Rinse the beef brisket under cold water and pat it dry with paper towels. Trim any excess fat from the brisket, leaving a thin layer for flavor.

  2. 2

    Seasoning

    In a small bowl, mix together salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and smoked paprika. Rub this seasoning mix all over the brisket, ensuring it's evenly coated.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Sear the Brisket

    In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the brisket to the pot and sear it on both sides until browned, approximately 4-5 minutes per side.

  2. 4

    Add Liquid and Herbs

    Once the brisket is seared, remove it from the pot. Pour in the beef broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot. Add the brisket back to the pot, along with bay leaves and thyme.

  3. 5

    Simmer

    Bring the liquid to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the pot and let it simmer for about 3-4 hours, or until the brisket is fork-tender.

Serving

  1. 6

    Rest and Slice

    Once the brisket is cooked, remove it from the pot and let it rest for at least 15 minutes. Slice the brisket against the grain and serve with the cooking liquid drizzled on top.
