Ingredients:

1 tablespoon Balsamic vinegar
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Pat brisket dry with a paper towel and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
Heat oil in a 6-8 quart wide heavy pot over moderately high heat until hot, but not smoking, then brown the meat well on all sides, about 10 minutes total.
Transfer with tongs to a platter.
Cook onions with bay leaf in remaining oil over moderate heat, stirring occasionally until golden, 10-12 minutes.
Remove from heat and transfer half of onions to a bowl.
Arrange brisket over onions in pot, then top with remaining onions.
