Brisket
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 (3 1/2 pound) first-cut brisket, with "fat cap" (do not trim)
- 3 tablespoons sweet paprika
- 1 tablespoon kosher salt, plus for brisket
- Freshly ground black pepper
- 6 medium yellow onions, cut into thin wedges with root end attached
- 1 1/2 cups sweet vermouth
- 4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
- 8 medium carrots, peeled, and cut into thirds (14 ounces)
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
- Heat the oil a large, heavy bottomed Dutch oven over medium-high heat until beginning to smoke.
- Season the brisket generously with the paprika, salt, and pepper.
- Place fat side down in the Dutch oven and cook until brown on all sides, about 8 to10 minutes.
- Transfer the meat to a plate and set aside.
- Discard about half the fat, then add the onions and cook over medium heat until browned and tender, about 10 minutes.
- Pour in the vermouth and cook until reduced by about half.
- Nestle the brisket into the onions fat side up, add the broth; bring to a simmer and bake, covered, until the brisket is fork tender, about 1 1/2 to 2 hours.
- Uncover, scatter the carrots around the brisket and cook until the carrots are tender, about 30 minutes more.
- Transfer the brisket to a cutting board, cut the fat off the top and thinly slice the meat across the grain.
- Return the meat to the braising liquid and serve immediately or, cool to room temperature in the sauce, cover and refrigerate overnight.
- When ready to serve reheat in the sauce.
