Ingredients
- 3-4 pounds beef brisket
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 large onion, chopped
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 cups beef broth
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 pounds russet potatoes, peeled and cubed
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1/4 cup sour cream
How to Make Savory Beef Brisket with Creamy Mashed Potatoes
- Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).
- In a large Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Season the brisket generously with salt and pepper, then sear it in the hot oil until browned on all sides, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove the brisket and set it aside.
- Add the chopped onion and garlic to the pot, cooking until softened, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in the beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, smoked paprika, and dried thyme. Bring the mixture to a simmer, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot.
- Return the brisket to the pot, cover it with a lid, and transfer it to the preheated oven. Cook for 3-4 hours, or until the brisket is fork-tender.
- While the brisket is cooking, prepare the mashed potatoes. In a large pot, cover the cubed potatoes with water and add a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil and cook until tender, about 15-20 minutes.
- Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Add the heavy cream, butter, sour cream, and season with salt and pepper. Mash until smooth and creamy.
- Once the brisket is done, remove it from the oven and let it rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing.
- Serve the sliced brisket drizzled with the cooking juices alongside a generous scoop of creamy mashed potatoes.
Tips for the Best Results
- For extra flavor, marinate the brisket overnight with your favorite spices.
- Let the brisket rest before slicing to retain its juices.
- Use a potato masher or ricer for the smoothest mashed potatoes.
Easy Variations
- Swap the heavy cream for buttermilk for a tangy twist in the mashed potatoes.
- Add roasted garlic to the mashed potatoes for an extra layer of flavor.
- Experiment with different herbs, such as rosemary or oregano, in the brisket seasoning.
What to Serve With It
- Steamed green beans or broccoli for a pop of color and nutrition.
- A fresh garden salad with a zesty vinaigrette to balance the richness.
- Crusty bread or rolls to soak up the flavorful juices.
