Chef Nora seasons this irresistible beef brisket with a dry rub, covers it with sweet onions, and roasts it low and slow to until it’s fall-apart tender. Then comes the chef’s magic touch: She combines the roasted onions with the brisket’s natural drippings to make a luscious sauce packed with powerfully rich beefy flavor. Enjoy hearty and moist slices or shreds just as they are, on a sandwich, smothered in barbecue sauce, or paired with a classic side like mac and cheese.
