Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Trim excess fat from the beef brisket and season generously with kosher or sea salt. Refrigerate overnight.
  2. Dust brisket with flour and sear in a hot pot with olive or vegetable oil for about 10-15 minutes until browned.
  3. Cook sliced onions in the pot over medium heat for 10-15 minutes until golden brown.
  4. Return brisket to the pot, smear with tomato paste, add fish sauce (if using), garlic, and carrot. Cover and bake at 350°F for 1.5 hours.
  5. After 1.5 hours, reduce temperature to 325°F, slice brisket against the grain, and bake for an additional 2 hours.
  6. Let brisket cool slightly, then serve warm with onion sauce or refrigerate for later. Rewarm gently before serving.
