Ingredients

4 lbs beef brisket
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp kosher salt
2 tsp black pepper
1 tbsp garlic powder
1 tbsp onion powder
1 tsp smoked paprika
1 cup beef broth
1 large onion, sliced
4 cloves garlic, minced

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C) and place a rack in the lower third position.
2. Rub the brisket with olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and smoked paprika.
3. Heat a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat and sear the brisket on both sides until browned, about 4-5 minutes per side.

8. Remove the brisket from the oven and let it rest for 20 minutes before slicing against the grain.
