Servings
8 servings
Amounts
  • 5 to 6 lb first-cut ((or flat-cut) beef brisket, trimmed so a thin layer of fat remains in some spots (do not over trim!))
  • 1½ tablespoons kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour ((okay to substitute matzo cake meal for Passover))
  • 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 8 medium yellow onions, (peeled and sliced ½-in (13-mm) thick)
  • 3 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 3 cloves garlic, (roughly chopped)
  • 6 carrots, (peeled and sliced into large chunks on a diagonal)
  • Handful fresh chopped parsley, (for garnish (optional))
Shopping list

“What I'm missing” leaves off staples you almost certainly have — salt, pepper, oil, water — and anything already in your pantry.
