  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme

  • 1 teaspoon salt

  • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper

  • 1 (3 pound) beef brisket

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

  • 1 red onion, sliced

  • 1 (14.5 ounce) can beef broth

  • 1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce

  • ½ cup red wine

Directions

  • Step 1

    Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

  • Step 2

    Mix thyme, salt, and black pepper in a small bowl and rub the mixture over both sides of brisket.

  • Step 3

    Heat olive oil in a roasting pan over medium-high heat; place brisket in the hot oil and brown on both sides, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Remove brisket from pan and set aside.

  • Step 4

    Place red onion slices into the hot roasting pan and cook and stir until onion is slightly softened, about 2 minutes. Stir in beef broth, tomato sauce, and wine.

  • Step 5

    Place the brisket back into the roasting pan and cover pan with foil.

  • Step 6

    Roast the brisket in the preheated oven for 1 hour; remove foil and baste brisket with pan juices. Place foil back over roasting pan and roast brisket until very tender and pan sauce has thickened, 1 1/2 to 2 more hours.
