A Beef Brisket Pot Roast is a comforting and hearty meal, perfect for a family gathering or a cozy weekend dinner. Slow-cooked until tender, the brisket is complemented by a medley of vegetables and a rich, flavorful broth.
Ingredients
- 3-4 lb beef brisket
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 onions, chopped
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 4 carrots, peeled and cut into chunks
- 4 celery stalks, cut into chunks
- 3 large potatoes, peeled and cut into chunks
- 1 cup beef broth
- 1 cup red wine (optional – can substitute with additional beef broth)
- 1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 bay leaf
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped for garnish
Directions
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C).
- Season the beef brisket on all sides with salt and pepper.
- In a large Dutch oven or oven-safe pot, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the brisket and sear on all sides until browned. Remove the brisket and set aside.
- In the same pot, add the onions and garlic. Sauté until softened.
- Add the carrots and celery, and cook for a few minutes.
- Stir in the tomato paste, diced tomatoes, thyme, and bay leaf.
- Place the brisket back into the pot. Add the beef broth and red wine. The liquid should come up about halfway to the brisket. Bring to a simmer.
- Cover the pot with a lid and place it in the preheated oven. Cook for about 3 hours.
- After 3 hours, add the potatoes to the pot. Continue cooking for another hour or until the brisket and vegetables are tender.
- Remove the brisket from the pot and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.
- Adjust the seasoning of the broth if needed. Serve the slices of brisket with the vegetables and broth.
- Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
