Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C). Season the brisket with salt and pepper on both sides.
  2. In a large Dutch oven, heat olive oil over medium-high heat and sear the brisket for 3-4 minutes on each side until browned.
  3. Sauté diced onions in the same pot for 5-7 minutes until translucent.
  4. Add minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until aromatic.
  5. Deglaze the pot with beef broth and red wine, scraping up browned bits.
  6. Stir in bay leaves, thyme, smoked paprika, and cumin. Bring to a gentle simmer.
  7. Nestle the seared brisket into the pot, cover with a lid, and braise for 4 to 5 hours until fork-tender.
  8. Remove from the oven and let the brisket rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing.
