How to make vidalia onion pot roast

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Season the beef brisket well with salt and pepper.
  • Crush the thyme and rosemary together with a mortar and pestle and rub the herb mix into the beef, coating it evenly.
  • Rub the beef well with 1 tablespoon of the olive oil.
  • Heat a large saute pan with 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium high heat for 2 to 3 minutes until the pan is nearly smoking.
  • Add the beef to the hot pan and sear well on one side until browned before turning the beef over and searing the other side.
  • When the beef has been well browned on both sides. Remove from the pan and set aside.
  • Add the onions to the saute pan and cook them until golden brown.
  • Add the red wine to the onions and reduce by half.
  • Pour the onions into a large heavy roasting pan and spread evenly across the bottom before putting the beef on the bed of onions.
  • Add the carrots, garlic, hot beef/water and celery bundle to the beef in the roasting pan and place, uncovered, into the oven.
  • All the combined liquid should rise only 2/3 as high as the meat is thick.
  • Add additional water to maintain the braising liquid height.
  • Cook for 1 hour before turning the beef over.
  • Cook the second side uncovered for 1 hour before covering the pan with a cover or foil and turning the oven down to 325 degrees F.
  • Continue to slowly braise the beef brisket for 1 1/2 to 2 additional hours.
  • Remove the pan from the oven. Discard the celery bouquet.
  • Allow the beef to rest for 20 minutes before slicing and serving with some of the onion jus.
