Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Step 2

Mix thyme, salt, and black pepper in a small bowl and rub the mixture over both sides of brisket.

Step 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.

Step 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.

Step 5

Place the brisket back into the roasting pan and cover pan with foil.
