Instructions

1

Preheat the oven

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Ensure the oven is fully preheated before placing the dish inside for even cooking.

Brown the beef

Heat some oil in a large flameproof casserole over medium-high heat. Brown the beef brisket on all sides, then remove it from the pan and set aside.

Browning the meat enhances its flavor by creating a caramelized crust.

Stir frequently to prevent the onions from burning.

Cut the vegetables into uniform pieces for even cooking.

Braise in the oven

Cook in the oven for 2 1/2 hours or until the meat is tender and the vegetables are cooked through.

Check the dish occasionally and add a splash of water if the sauce looks too thick.

Serve the dish

Serve the brisket sliced with the vegetables and sauce spooned over. Enjoy your meal!

Garnish with fresh parsley for a pop of color and added flavor.
