Ingredients

Fresh thyme

2 sprigs

Fresh rosemary

2 sprigs

Salt

to taste

Pepper

to taste

Worcestershire sauce

1 tablespoon

Beef broth

2 cups

Olive oil

2 tablespoons

Garlic

2 cloves, minced

Onion

1 large, chopped

Potatoes

1.5 pounds, cut into bite-sized pieces

Beef brisket

3 pounds

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 325°F (165°C).
2. Season the brisket generously with salt and pepper.
3. Heat the olive oil in a large oven-safe pot over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the brisket and sear on all sides until it develops a beautiful brown crust. Once seared, remove the brisket from the pot and set it aside.
4. In the same pot, add the chopped onion and minced garlic. Sauté until they become aromatic and the onions turn translucent.
5. Add in the bite-sized pieces of potatoes, beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, rosemary, and thyme to the pot. Stir everything together until well combined.
6. Nestle the seared brisket on top of the potato mixture. Make sure it's tucked in so that it can absorb all the glorious flavors.
7. Cover the pot and transfer it to your preheated oven. Allow it to cook for 3-4 hours. The dish is ready when the brisket is tender enough to pull apart with a fork and the potatoes are cooked through.
8. Once cooked, remove the pot from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before serving. This allows the flavors to meld together, enhancing the overall taste of the dish.
