2 lb. fresh beef brisket
2 T. vegetable oil

Preheat oven to 350. In a Dutch oven, brown brisket in oil on both sides over medium-high heat; drain. Combine hot water and soup mix; pour over brisket. Cover and bake at 325F for 2 1/2 hours, or until meat is tender.

Remove brisket to a serving platter. Cover with foil; let stand for 10 to 15 minutes. Combine cornstarch and cold water until smooth; gradually stir into pan juices. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened.

Slice meat thinly across the grain; serve with the gravy.
