Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 pounds beef brisket
- 1 large, sliced yellow onion
- 4 minced garlic cloves
- 0.5 cups bourbon
- 0.25 cups Dijon mustard
- 1 cup beef broth
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add olive oil.
Season the brisket on all sides with salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, and paprika.
Sear the brisket in the hot skillet for 3-4 minutes per side until a brown crust forms. Remove the brisket from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the sliced onion and minced garlic. Cook for 2-3 minutes until softened.
Deglaze the skillet by pouring the bourbon in and scraping up any browned bits from the bottom. Simmer for 1-2 minutes to reduce slightly.
In a bowl, whisk together Dijon mustard, beef broth, brown sugar, and apple cider vinegar.
Place the seared brisket into a crock pot. Add the onion-bourbon mixture on top, followed by the mustard mixture, ensuring the brisket is mostly submerged.
Cover the crock pot with a lid and cook on low for 8 hours or until the brisket is tender and easily pulls apart with a fork.
Once the brisket is cooked, remove it from the crock pot and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing against the grain.
Serve the brisket with some of the juices from the crock pot as a sauce. Pair with mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or your favorite sides.
