Instructions

• Season the brisket generously with salt and pepper.
• Heat the olive oil in a large Dutch oven over medium‑high heat.
• Sear the brisket on all sides until deeply browned, about 4 minutes per side.
• Remove the brisket and set aside.
• Add the onion and garlic to the pot and sauté until softened, about 3 minutes.
• Return the brisket to the pot, pour in the beef broth, and add thyme if using.
• Cover the pot and place it in a pre‑heated oven at 150 °C (300 °F) and roast for 3 to 4 hours, or until the meat is fork‑tender.
• Let the brisket rest for 10 minutes, then slice against the grain and serve with tangy piccalilli.
