Instructions: Sprinkle brisket liberally with salt, pepper and paprika on both sides.

Place meat in roasting pan and spread sliced onions, garlic and bay leaf over it. Cover pan and roast at 325 F. for 2 hrs or until almost tender.

Remove cover and baste with juices in the pan. Continue roasting for 1/2 to 3/4 hr. more to brown, basting frequently. When tender, remove from oven.

Discard bay leaf and garlic. Remove meat from pan. Remove as much fat as possible from juices. Add water to juices if necessary. Blend a little fat with flour and add to pan juices. Cook, stirrring constantly until thickened. Mushrooms may be added to gravy.

Serves 10 to 12.
