Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pounds Beef brisket
- 2 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 large Yellow onions
- 4 minced Garlic cloves
- 28 ounces Canned crushed tomatoes
- 1 cup Beef broth
- 2 tablespoons Tomato paste
- 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 leaf Bay leaf
- 2 tablespoons Parsley (for garnish)
Instructions
Pat the beef brisket dry with paper towels and season evenly with salt and black pepper on all sides.
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add olive oil and sear the brisket until browned on all sides. This step takes about 3-4 minutes per side. Once browned, remove the brisket and set aside.
Slice the yellow onions thinly and add them to the same skillet. Sauté for 5-7 minutes, until softened and lightly golden. Add minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute.
In the crock pot, combine the canned crushed tomatoes, beef broth, tomato paste, dried thyme, paprika, and bay leaf. Stir to mix well.
Transfer the sautéed onions and garlic into the crock pot. Place the seared brisket on top of the onion mixture.
Spoon some of the tomato onion gravy over the brisket to coat it evenly. Cover the crock pot with a lid.
Set the crock pot to low heat and cook for 8 hours, or until the brisket is tender and easily pulls apart with a fork.
Once cooked, remove the brisket and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing it against the grain.
Serve the sliced brisket on a platter and spoon the rich tomato onion gravy over the top. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a touch of freshness.
Optional: Pair the brisket with mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or crusty bread for a complete meal.
