Simple Dutch Oven Beef Brisket braises low and slow until fork-tender, soaking up a tangy-sweet sauce of ketchup, brown sugar, and cider vinegar balanced with warm chili powder and a hint of cayenne. Caramelized onions and garlic deepen the richness, while bay leaves add a mellow herbal note. Serve for a cozy weekend dinner or a make-ahead meal that tastes even better the next day.

1

Season the brisket with seasoned salt and black pepper.
2

Heat oil in a Dutch oven over medium-high. Sear the brisket in the hot oil until browned on both sides, then move it to a large plate. Cook and stir the onions and garlic in the Dutch oven until softened, about 6 minutes. Return the brisket to the Dutch oven.
3

Whisk the beef broth, ketchup, brown sugar, vinegar, chili powder, bay leaves, and cayenne pepper in a bowl; pour over the brisket.
4

Bring the mixture to a boil, then lower the heat to low, cover, and simmer until the beef is very tender and easily falls apart when pulled with a fork, 2 1/2 to 3 hours. Remove and discard the bay leaves. Transfer the beef to a platter, keeping the liquid in the Dutch oven. Slice the beef.

Whisk the water and flour in a small bowl; stir into the Dutch oven and bring to a boil until the sauce thickens. Serve the sauce over the sliced brisket.
