Savory Beef Brisket

Caramelized onions give beef and carrots great flavor. You'll be surprised to see just how easy it is to prepare this fork-tender brisket.

Preparation time: 25 minutes
Cooking time: 165 minutes

You Will Need
1 fresh beef brisket (5 to 6 pounds)
2 teaspoons all-purpose flour
1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon coarsely ground pepper
1/4 cup vegetable oil
8 small onions, sliced and separated into rings
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1 1/2 teaspoons coarse salt
2 garlic cloves, quartered
2 pounds carrots, cut into 1-inch pieces




What to Do
1. Lightly dust brisket with flour; sprinkle with pepper. In a Dutch oven, brown brisket in oil on broth sides over medium-high heat. Remove and keep warm. In the drippings, saute onions until golden brown, about 15 minutes. Return meat to pan. Combine tomato paste, salt and garlic; spoon over meat.

2. Cover and bake at 375°F for 1 1/2 hours. Slice meat across the grain; return to pan, overlapping slices. Add carrots. Cover and bake 1 1/4 to 1 3/4 hours longer or until meat is tender.

Serves 12-15

Editor's Note: This is a fresh beef brisket, not corned beef
