Instructions

1. Sear the brisket: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season brisket with salt and pepper, then sear on all sides until browned (about 5 minutes per side). Transfer to a slow cooker (or roasting pan if using oven).

2. Prepare the onions: In the same skillet, add sliced onions and cook until softened and golden, about 8 minutes. Stir in garlic and cook 1 more minute.

3. Make the braising liquid: Whisk together beef broth, wine, tomato paste, vinegar, honey, paprika, cumin, and thyme.

4. Slow-cook the brisket: Pour onions and braising liquid over the brisket.

   • Slow cooker: Cook on low for 8 hours or high for 6 hours until fork-tender.

   • Oven method: Cover roasting pan tightly with foil and bake at 325°F for 3–4 hours, until meat is very tender.

5. Rest & slice: Let brisket rest 15–20 minutes before slicing against the grain. Return slices to sauce for serving.
