<\/figure>\nI don\u2019t know about you, but in my house, spring is a time for all things brisket. Okay, maybe not spring specifically. More like Tuesday. Or Sunday. Also, holiday. Okay, fine, anytime is brisket time in my house. My crispy brisket<\/a> and cranberry-braised brisket<\/a> are recipes I\u2019ve made countless times, and for good reason. One is a crowd-pleaser that even picky eaters (ahem, kids) adore, and the other is a special occasion masterpiece that always earns rave reviews. They\u2019re both delicious in their own right. <\/p>\n But sometimes, you just want a brisket that\u2019s\u2026 simpler. Not in flavor, mind you, but in effort. A brisket that practically cooks itself while you go about your day, filling your house with the most intoxicating aroma imaginable. A brisket that requires minimal fuss but still delivers maximum comfort. <\/p>\n This, my friends, is that brisket. <\/p>\n I call it the Simplest Brisket with Braised Onions because, truly, it is. There\u2019s no searing required, no complex layering of flavors, and no obscure ingredients. Just a good quality brisket, a whole lot of onions, some garlic, a touch of tomato paste, and a bottle of beer (or broth, if you prefer). The magic happens slowly, in the oven, where the onions melt into a sweet, savory jam, and the brisket becomes unbelievably tender, falling apart with the slightest nudge of a fork. <\/p>\n It\u2019s the kind of dish that makes you feel like a culinary genius, even if all you really did was chop some vegetables and turn on the oven. And honestly, isn\u2019t that the best kind of cooking? <\/p>\n This recipe is perfect for a cozy weekend meal, a casual dinner party, or even to prep ahead for a busy week. The leftovers (if you\u2019re lucky enough to have any) are arguably even better the next day, making fantastic sandwiches or shredded over creamy polenta. <\/p>\n So, the next time the brisket craving strikes, and you\u2019re short on time but not on appetite, give this simplest version a try. You won\u2019t regret it. <\/p>\n Note:<\/strong> Brisket can be tricky to find in smaller cuts. If you can only find a larger piece (say, 5-7 pounds), you can absolutely scale up the other ingredients and cook it for a longer time, checking for tenderness. It freezes beautifully, so a big batch is always a good idea! <\/p>\n This is the best brisit was first published in \u2018The New Basics Cookbook\u2019 in 1989, and I have been making it since then. version ai : Simplest Brisket with Braised Onions I don\u2019t know about you, but in my house, spring is a time for all things brisket.
