Ingredients

• 3-4 pounds beef brisket
• 4 medium carrots, peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces
• 4 medium potatoes, peeled and cut into quarters
• 1 large onion, chopped
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 cups beef broth
• 1 cup red wine
• 2 tablespoons tomato paste
• 2 teaspoons dried thyme
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• Salt and pepper, to taste

How to Make Braised Beef with Root Vegetables

1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C).
2. Pat the brisket dry with paper towels and season generously with salt and pepper on both sides.
3. In a large Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the brisket and sear for about 4-5 minutes on each side until browned. Remove the brisket and set aside.
4. Add the chopped onion to the pot and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.
5. Mix in the tomato paste and cook for another minute, allowing it to caramelize slightly.
6. Pour in the red wine, scraping the bottom of the pot to deglaze. Bring to a simmer and let it reduce for about 5 minutes.
7. Add the beef broth, dried thyme, and return the brisket to the pot. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
8. Cover the Dutch oven with a lid and transfer it to the preheated oven. Braise for 2.5 to 3 hours, or until the brisket is fork-tender.
9. About 30 minutes before the brisket is done, add the carrots and potatoes to the pot, ensuring they are submerged in the liquid.
10. Once finished, remove the pot from the oven and let it rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing the brisket against the grain. Serve with the vegetables and sauce spooned over the top.

Tips for the Best Results

• Choose a well-marbled brisket for maximum tenderness and flavor.
• Allow the brisket to rest after cooking to retain juices.
• Feel free to adjust the seasoning to your taste; a bit of smoked paprika can add a delightful depth.

Easy Variations

• Replace carrots and potatoes with parsnips and turnips for a different flavor profile.
• Add a bay leaf or two for enhanced aroma during braising.
• For a spicier kick, include a pinch of red pepper flakes in the broth.

What to Serve With It

• Crusty bread or dinner rolls to soak up the delicious sauce.
• A side salad for a refreshing contrast.
• Mashed potatoes for extra creaminess.
