How to Make

  • Step 3: Season the beef brisket on both sides with the smoked paprika, pepper, and salt.

  • Step 4: Place the onions and garlic in a shallow roasting pan, large enough to fit the beef brisket. Place the brisket, fat side up, on top of the onions.

  • Step 6: Remove the pan, and carefully wrap tightly with foil. Be sure you have a good seal around the pan, as this will keep in the moisture.
