Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Mix chili powder, salt, pepper, and brown sugar.
Place brisket in a roasting pan; rub on all sides with chili powder mixture. Place brisket fat-side up; scatter onions and garlic cloves around the sides.
Whisk together pomegranate juice and tomato paste; pour around brisket. Add enough water or broth to the pan so that the liquid comes 3/4 up the sides of the meat. Cover pan tightly with foil; braise in oven about 5-6 hours, or until meat is tender.
Scrape off and discard the fat. Use forks to shred the brisket and smash garlic cloves. Stir meat into the pan sauce. Taste; adjust seasoning with salt and pepper, as desired.
To serve/meal ideas:
Enjoy the shredded meat alongside mashed potatoes, pasta or rice; on buns with potato salad on the side; in tacos or tortillas with your favorite toppings; in sandwiches with a bit of BBQ sauce and pickles or coleslaw.
8-12 servings
Tips:
*For crispy meat, place under the broiler for 5 minutes after shredding.
**This brisket can also be made in a slow cooker on low for 8-10 hours. Do not add additional water/broth if using a slow cooker.
***Pomegranate juice can be replaced with cranberry juice or red wine.
