Chop onions and place in baking dish.
Add baby carrots, then 1/2 cup beef broth.
Season the brisket with pepper, salt, paprika.
In a skillet or pan, heat the oil and place the brisket in the pan.
Sear both sides of the brisket and remove from pan.
Place in baking dish with the fat side facing up.
Add potatoes. Cover tightly with foil tight and place in a preheated oven at 350 degrees for two to three hours until tender.
In the last 15 minutes, leave the brisket uncovered to brown the top. You will know it's done when you can put a fork in the meat and it breaks apart easily.
