Ingredients
Scale
- 6-pound first-cut beef brisket
- 3 tablespoons corn oil
- 8 medium onions, thickly sliced
- 3 tablespoons tomato paste
- 2 teaspoons all-purpose flour
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 carrot, peeled and chopped
- Kosher salt, to taste
- Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Dust the brisket with flour and season generously with freshly ground black pepper.
- Heat corn oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Brown the brisket on all sides, about 4-5 minutes per side. Transfer to a large baking dish.
