- Press “START/PAUSE” to begin to sear. Allow to preheat (in sear function) for 5 minutes.
- In a bowl, stir together salt, garlic, and pepper. Brush brisket with 1t of olive oil and season both sides generously with spice mixture. Add remaining oil to the pot and sear each piece of brisket one at a time on both sides, about 2 min. per side. Set seared meat aside on a clean plate.
- Add onions and mushrooms to the pot. Place seared brisket on top and add onion soup, stewed tomatoes, sun-dried tomatoes, wine, thyme, and carrots. Stir gently to combine.
