List of Ingredients
- 1 5- to 6-lb first-cut beef brisket
- 1/4 cup canola oil
- 3 large yellow onions, (about 3 lbs), cut into 1/2" slices
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tsp Hungarian paprika
- 2 bay leaves
- 3 cups beef stock
- coarse salt and freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
- Heat 2 T oil in a large Dutch oven over medium high heat. Pat brisket dry with paper towels and season with salt and pepper. Sear brisket well on both sides, about 8 minutes. Set aside.
- Add remaining oil to Dutch oven over medium high heat. Add onions and cook stirring, until softened and beginning to turn golden. Add garlic, paprika, salt and pepper and cook 1 minute. Add bay leaves and beef stock and bring to a boil. Return brisket to the Dutch oven, cover and leave lid 1/2" ajar.
- Transfer to the heated oven and bake, 3 1/2 hours, or until tender. (Add more water or stock as needed throughout the roasting time.)
- Remove brisket from oven. Transfer brisket to a cutting board. Remove and discard bay leaves. Using a handheld blender, puree the onions to smooth. Taste and adjust for seasoning with salt and pepper.
- Slice brisket against the grain and serve with onion puree.
