This is the BEST recipe for slow cooked braised brisket in the oven with potatoes, carrots and onions. It turns out incredibly tender and flavorful for a Passover or Hanukkah meal or any occasion.
Braised Breast With Potatoes And Carrots
This is the only braised beef brisket recipe you'll ever need! The brisket cooks slowly with the onions, which melt into the sauce. Halfway through cooking I cut it thinly and put it back in the oven to cook a little longer. The result of slicing is very moist and tender meat with lots of flavor in every bite. Other recipes for holiday dinners that I like to prepare are glazed spiral ham oh roast leg of lamb on the bone.
I made this Passover-friendly recipe using ground matzo instead of flour. I simply grabbed some matzo I had from mine matzo pizza and grind it in the food processor. You could also use cake flour, which you can find in the kosher section of your supermarket. If you don't celebrate Passover, you can use 00 flour. Rice flour is fine for gluten-free people.
This brisket serves about eight people, give or take, depending on the size of the brisket after it is cut and how hungry everyone is! The flavor of this dish is even better the next day, so it's perfect for leftovers. You can also freeze it for up to six months.
Brisket Ingredients:
- beef brisket, is the cut of beef used, with all the fat removed

- tomato paste
- garlic peeled and cut into quarters

How to braise brisket
This brisket recipe starts on the stovetop in a Dutch oven. It is browned and then once everything is ready it is cooked in the oven at 180 degrees and cooked for an hour and a half. Then remove the pot from the oven, slice the brisket, and return the meat to the pot with the potatoes submerged in the braising liquid. Lower the oven temperature to 325 degrees and return the pan to the oven for another hour and a half.
