Ingredients
- 3–4 pound beef brisket
- 1 large onion, sliced
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup beef broth
- 1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tablespoon tomato paste
- 1 tablespoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
1. Begin by heating the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the brisket on all sides until a beautiful brown crust forms, about 3-4 minutes per side.
2. Place the sliced onions and minced garlic in the bottom of your crockpot, creating a flavorful bed for the brisket to rest on.
3. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, tomato paste, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
4. Carefully place the seared brisket on top of the onions and garlic in the crockpot. Pour the prepared sauce mixture over the meat, ensuring it’s fully covered.
5. Cover the crockpot and cook the brisket on low for 8-10 hours or on high for 4-5 hours, until the meat is incredibly tender and easily shreds with a fork.
6. Once cooked, use two forks to shred or slice the meat. Serve warm, spooning the cooking juices and caramelized onions over the top.
Notes
Searing the brisket before slow cooking adds depth of flavor.
Cooking on low for an extended period results in tender meat.
Let the cooked brisket rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing or shredding.
