Ingredients
  

  • 1 5 pound flat-cut corned beef brisket
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 large onion thickly sliced
  • 4 cloves garlic thinly sliced
  • 1 cup beef broth preferably low-sodium
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 275°F (135°C).
  2. Pat the brisket dry; season generously with black pepper. In a large Dutch oven, heat the oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.
  3. Sear the brisket on all sides until deeply golden, about 5 minutes per side. Remove and set aside.
  4. Add sliced onions and garlic to the pot; sauté until the onions soften and edges caramelize, about 4 minutes.
  5. Stir in beef broth and brown sugar, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom for extra flavor.
  6. Return the brisket to the pot, fat-side up. Cover with a tight-fitting lid and transfer to the oven.
  7. Braise for 6 to 6½ hours, or until the meat is fork-tender and falls apart at the touch.
  8. Let the brisket rest for 15 minutes before slicing thinly against the grain. Serve with mashed potatoes or roasted vegetables.
