Serving Size: 10

Cooking Time: 240 minutes

Ingredients

• 1 Tablespoon vegetable oil
• 4 Pounds beef brisket
• 1 Pinch ground black pepper, to taste
• 2 Whole onions, sliced
• 2 Whole garlic cloves, peeled
• 1 Pinch salt, to taste
• 1 Pinch black pepper, to taste

Steps

1. Heat the vegetable oil in a large deep skillet or pot over medium-high heat. Season the brisket generously with black pepper. Place the brisket in the pan and cook until the surface is a rich brown color, ensuring it doesn't burn.
2. Lift the roast and scatter the sliced onions in the pan. Place the uncooked side of the roast down onto the onions and repeat the browning process.
3. Add the garlic to the pan, and fill with enough water to almost cover the roast. Bring to a simmer.
4. Reduce the heat to low and cover with a lid or tight-fitting aluminum foil. Simmer for 4 hours, turning the roast over once halfway through. The roast should be fork-tender.
5. Remove the brisket to a serving platter. Bring the broth in the pan to a simmer, scraping the bottom to loosen any browned bits. Cook until reduced to a thin gravy. Taste and season with salt and pepper if needed.

This brisket pairs wonderfully with potato latkes or roasted vegetables cooked with olive oil. Enjoy this comforting dish with your loved ones!
