Brisket is a flavorful cut of beef that becomes incredibly tender when slow-cooked. Ina Garten’s recipe enhances this classic dish with a savory tomato-based sauce, caramelized onions, and aromatic herbs for a melt-in-your-mouth experience.

Ingredients

  • Beef brisket – 4-5 pounds
  • Olive oil – 2 tablespoons
  • Yellow onions – 3 large, sliced
  • Garlic – 4 cloves, minced
  • Canned crushed tomatoes – 1 (28-ounce) can
  • Beef stock – 2 cups
  • Red wine vinegar – 2 tablespoons
  • Brown sugar – 2 tablespoons
  • Tomato paste – 2 tablespoons
  • Worcestershire sauce – 1 tablespoon
  • Kosher salt – 1 teaspoon (or to taste)
  • Black pepper – ½ teaspoon
  • Fresh thyme – 2 sprigs
  • Bay leaves – 2

Instructions

Preheat the Oven

  • Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C).

Sear the Brisket

  • Heat olive oil in a large Dutch oven or ovenproof pot over medium-high heat.
  • Season the brisket generously with salt and black pepper.
  • Sear the brisket on both sides for 4-5 minutes until browned. Remove from the pot and set aside.

Sauté the Onions and Garlic

  • In the same pot, add the sliced onions and cook for 8-10 minutes until softened and lightly caramelized.
  • Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.

Prepare the Sauce

  • Stir in the tomato paste and cook for 2 minutes.
  • Add the crushed tomatoes, beef stock, red wine vinegar, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, thyme, and bay leaves. Stir well to combine.

Braise the Brisket

  • Return the seared brisket to the pot, nestling it into the sauce. Spoon some of the sauce over the top.
  • Cover the pot with a lid or aluminum foil and transfer it to the preheated oven.
  • Braise for 3-4 hours, or until the brisket is fork-tender.

Rest and Slice

  • Remove the pot from the oven and let the brisket rest for 15-20 minutes.
  • Transfer the brisket to a cutting board and slice it thinly against the grain.

Serve

  • Return the sliced brisket to the pot with the sauce to keep it moist. Serve warm with your favorite sides.
