Description
A comforting oven baked beef brisket recipe that delivers tender meat and flavorful root vegetables with simple, slow-cooked preparation.
Ingredients
Scale
- 3 to 4 pounds beef brisket (trimmed of excess fat)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon kosher salt (adjust to taste)
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon smoked paprika
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme or Italian seasoning
- 1 to 2 cups beef broth or stock
- 1 cup red wine (optional, but adds depth)
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste or ketchup
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- Carrots in several colors (cut into large chunks)
- Fennel (quartered)
- Garlic cloves (whole or smashed)
- Onions (quartered)
- Potatoes (halved or quartered)
- Fresh rosemary sprigs
Instructions
- Chop your favorite veggies. I used garlic, onion, carrots (white, yellow, purple, and orange), fennel, potatoes, and fresh rosemary.
- Make the marinade by mixing minced garlic, olive oil, paprika, soy sauce, honey, mustard, black pepper, salt, and rosemary in a bowl. Marinate the meat for 2 to 8 hours. The longer it sits, the deeper the flavor.
- Place the vegetables in a deep baking tray. Avoid flat dishes since the juices will run. If you have a cast-iron pot with a lid, even better; it helps the meat cook evenly and stay juicy. Put the meat on top of the vegetables, pour any remaining marinade over it, wrap tightly with foil, and bake until tender.
- Bake for 5.5 to 7 hours, depending on the size of your brisket. If you’re not sure it’s ready, cut a small piece to check. Sometimes the meat is fully cooked but still needs more time to become tender, so keep baking a little longer if needed.
- In the last 30 minutes, remove the foil and let the meat develop a beautiful crust in the oven.
Notes
- Let the brisket rest for 15-20 minutes before slicing to retain juices.
- Serve with the roasted vegetables and your favorite sides.
