Ingredients
•
1 teaspoon dried thyme
•
1 teaspoon salt
•
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
•
1 (3 pound) beef brisket
•
1 tablespoon olive oil
•
1 red onion, sliced
•
1 (14 1/2 ounce) can beef broth
•
1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce
•
1/2 cup red wine
Directions
1
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
2
Mix thyme, salt, and black pepper in a small bowl and rub the mixture over both sides of brisket.
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.
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.
5
Place the brisket back into the roasting pan and cover pan with foil.
