Steps:
- Preheat oven to 225 degrees. In a Dutch oven with a tight-fitting lid, over high heat, heat 1/2 cup oil. Season the brisket with salt and pepper. Brown the brisket in the oil on both sides, then transfer to a platter.
- Drain the oil from the Dutch oven. Add the remaining 1/2 cup oil and reduce the heat to medium. Add the onions and paprika and cook, stirring, until the onions are brown and soft, about 6 minutes. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Stir in the honey. Remove the Dutch oven from the heat.
- Place the brisket on the onion-garlic mixture. Surround the brisket with the potatoes, carrots, beans, lentils and barley and place the marrowbones on top. Cover with cold water by 4 inches. Stir in 1 tablespoon salt and 1 teaspoon pepper. Return the Dutch oven to the heat and bring to a boil. Skim off any scum that forms on the surface of the liquid. Cover and place it in the oven. Bake for 8 hours or overnight.
- Remove the brisket from the oven. If it seems dry, moisten it with a little water. When ready to serve, reheat, covered, in a 350-degree oven until it is hot. Transfer to a large platter and serve.

Tips:
- Choose the right cut of beef: Brisket is the traditional cut of beef used for cholent, but you can also use chuck roast or short ribs. Brisket has a lot of connective tissue, which breaks down during cooking and makes the meat tender and flavorful.
- Season the beef well: Before cooking, season the beef with salt, pepper, and other spices. This will help to enhance the flavor of the meat.
- Sear the beef: Searing the beef before braising it will help to develop a rich, flavorful crust. You can sear the beef in a Dutch oven or in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add vegetables and barley: In addition to the beef, cholent typically includes a variety of vegetables, such as potatoes, carrots, and onions. You can also add barley or other grains.
- Use a flavorful liquid: The liquid that you use to braise the cholent will add flavor to the dish. You can use water, beef broth, or even red wine.
- Cook the cholent low and slow: Cholent is traditionally cooked overnight, but you can also cook it in a slow cooker on low for 8-10 hours.
- Serve the cholent with toppings: Cholent is often served with toppings such as chopped hard-boiled eggs, fresh herbs, or a dollop of sour cream.
