Ingredients
- 1 large beef brisket
- 1 tbsp cake meal
- 3 tbsp tomato paste
- kosher salt
- 4 cloves garlic
- 2 cups fat free beef broth
- 3 large carrots
- 8 medium red potatoes
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
- freshly ground black pepper
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 4 large white onions
Instructions
- 1
Begin by preheating your oven to 375°F.
- 2
Generously season the brisket with salt and pepper according to your preference, then lightly coat it with cake meal.
- 3
In a large 7-quart Dutch oven or another heavy pot that can accommodate the brisket, heat the oil over medium-high heat.
- 4
Carefully place the brisket in the pot and sear it on both sides until browned, which should take approximately 10-12 minutes.
- 5
Once browned, take the brisket out of the pot and set it aside.
- 6
In the same pot, add the onions along with a pinch of salt and pepper, cooking until they become tender and caramelized, stirring frequently with a wooden spoon to lift any browned bits from the bottom, about 10-12 minutes.
- 7
Spread the tomato paste evenly over the brisket, season it again with salt and pepper, then return it to the pot on top of the onions. Add the carrots and garlic, and pour the broth over the entire mixture.
- 8
Cover the pot with its lid, place it in the oven, and let the brisket cook for roughly 1-1/2 hours.
- 9
After this time, carefully remove the brisket and transfer it to a cutting board. Slice it thinly against the grain.
- 10
Return the brisket slices to the pot, arranging them so they maintain the appearance of a whole piece.
- 11
Incorporate the potatoes into the pot, seasoning them with salt and pepper. Cover the pot again and place it back in the oven.
- 12
Lower the oven temperature to 325°F and continue cooking the brisket until it becomes fork-tender and the potatoes are fully cooked, which will take about another 1-1/2 hours. Check once or twice during this period to see if you need to add more broth.

For serving, arrange the meat on a platter alongside the carrots, onions, and potatoes, drizzling some of the cooking liquid over the top. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve any extra gravy on the side.
