Braised Beef Brisket

This slow-braised beef brisket is a comforting, one-pot dish that celebrates deep, savoury flavours. By searing the meat and slowly simmering it with sweet onions, carrots and celery, the brisket becomes incredibly tender while creating its own rich, vegetable-packed sauce. The addition of cider vinegar and crushed tomatoes provides a gentle acidity that balances the richness of the beef, making it a satisfying meal for any day of the week.

As a diabetes-friendly main course, this recipe focuses on lean protein and fibre-rich vegetables without the need for thickeners or added sugars. It is an excellent choice for a healthy Sunday roast alternative or a batch-cook dinner. Serve it simply with a side of steamed greens or a small portion of cauliflower mash to keep the meal light yet thoroughly nourishing.

Ingredients for Braised Beef Brisket

  • 45ml canola oil

  • 1 (2-pounds) piece beef brisket (preferably second-cut)

  • 2 large white onions, chopped

  • 4 medium carrots, cut into 1-inch pieces

  • 4 celery ribs, cut into 1-inch pieces

  • 6 garlic cloves

  • 60ml cider vinegar

  • 240ml chicken stock or reduced-sodium chicken broth

How to make Braised Beef Brisket

Preheat oven to 177°C with rack in lower third.

Heat oil in a wide 5-to 6-quart heavy pot over medium-high heat until it shimmers. Season brisket with 1 teaspoon each of salt and pepper, then brown brisket, turning once, about 8 minutes total. Transfer to a plate.

Reduce heat to medium. Add onions to pot and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden-brown, 12 to 15 minutes. Add carrots, celery, and garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden, 10 to 12 minutes. Add vinegar, stirring and scraping up brown bits. Add stock and tomatoes and bring to a simmer. Return brisket to pot, nestling it in braising liquid (liquid will not cover meat). Cover with a tight-fitting lid and braise in oven until fork-tender, 3 to 3 1/2 hours.
