Braised Brisket with Potatoes and Carrots
This is the only braised beef brisket recipe you will ever need! The brisket slowly cooks with onions, which just melt into the sauce. I thinly slice it halfway through cooking and place it back into the oven to cook a little longer. The slicing results in very moist and tender meat with tons of flavor in every bite. Other holiday dinners recipes I like to make are glazed spiral ham or a roasted bone leg of lamb.

How To Braise Brisket
This brisket recipe starts on the stove in a Dutch oven. You sear it to brown then once everything is ready, it bakes in the oven at 375 degrees and bake for one and half hours. Then pull the pot out of the oven, slice the brisket, and put the meat back in the Dutch oven with the potatoes tucked into the braising liquid. Lower the temperature on the oven to 325 degrees and return the pot to the oven for another one and half hours.
What to Serve with Brisket
Carrots and potatoes braise with the brisket, giving you tender veggies to go with your meat. If you’d like to serve something else with it on the side, here’s a few suggestions:
Serve it with a kale salad. Green veggie, like roasted broccoli or Wilted Baby Spinach, would be delicious. A piece of your favorite bread would be perfect for soaking up the braising juices.
Braised Brisket Tips & Variations:
If you would rather use a slow cooker, cook the brisket on low for 9-10 hours. If you can’t find brisket, sub in a chuck roast. To make this recipe keto, leave out the potatoes and the tablespoon of cake meal. To make the brisket gluten-free, use rice flour instead of cake meal. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
