Cooking steps

1

Preheat the oven to 325°F. Pat brisket dry and season both sides with kosher salt and black pepper.
2

Heat olive oil in a large roasting pan over medium-high heat. Sear brisket on both sides until deeply browned, about 4 minutes per side. Remove and set aside.
3

Add onions, carrots, celery, and garlic to the pan. Sauté over medium heat for 6–8 minutes, stirring and scraping browned bits, until vegetables begin to soften.
4

Stir in tomato paste and cook for 1 minute. Pour in beef broth and add bay leaves, mixing well.
5

Return brisket to pan, cover tightly with foil, and braise in the oven for 3–3.5 hours, checking once halfway to baste with juices. Remove brisket, let rest, slice, and serve topped with pan gravy and sprinkled parsley.

Personalized Q&A

Q. What's the key ingredient in this recipe?

The centerpiece is the beef brisket, which provides the signature tenderness and robust flavor. Alongside, onions, carrots, celery, and garlic form the aromatic foundation that enhances the savoriness and brings balance to the dish.

Q. How do I ensure the brisket turns out tender every time?

Slow braising at a gentle 325°F heat for multiple hours allows the connective tissue in the brisket to break down gradually. Searing both sides before braising seals in flavor and moisture, while covering tightly prevents drying out. Resting the meat before slicing ensures juicy, tender results.

Q. What prevents the brisket from becoming dry or tough?

Proper heat control and moisture management are key. Searing without overcooking, braising with enough broth, and covering the pan tightly help preserve moisture. Slicing after resting prevents juices from escaping prematurely.

Q. How many calories and what’s the protein-to-carb ratio per serving?

Each serving delivers 360 kcal, with about 32g of protein and 9g of carbs. Protein provides 35% of the caloric content, making this a high-protein option. The relatively low carb content (10% of calories) suits nutrition-conscious eaters.

Q. Which seasoning brings out the classic Passover flavor?

Kosher salt, freshly ground black pepper, bay leaves, and parsley contribute classic Jewish holiday flavors. Tomato paste and beef broth deepen the savory gravy, complementing the brisket’s richness.
