Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pounds Beef brisket
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1.5 teaspoons Kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Smoked paprika (optional)
- 1 cup Beef broth
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 large Yellow onion, sliced
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 3 sprigs Fresh thyme sprigs
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
Trim excess fat from the brisket if necessary, but leave a thin layer for flavor and moisture.
In a small bowl, mix together kosher salt, black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and smoked paprika (if using).
Rub the spice mixture generously all over the brisket, pressing the seasoning into the meat.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the brisket for 2-3 minutes on each side until a crust forms. Transfer the brisket to your crock pot.
In the same skillet, sauté the sliced onions and minced garlic for 2-3 minutes until fragrant. Add them to the crock pot, spreading them around and on top of the brisket.
Deglaze the skillet by pouring in beef broth and Worcestershire sauce, scraping up any browned bits with a wooden spoon. Pour this liquid over the brisket in the crock pot.
Add the fresh thyme sprigs around the brisket for added aroma and flavor.
Cover the crock pot with the lid and set it to low. Cook for 8 hours, or until the brisket is very tender and easily pulls apart with a fork.
Once cooked, carefully remove the brisket from the crock pot and let it rest on a cutting board for 10-15 minutes before slicing against the grain.
Strain the cooking liquid to remove the thyme sprigs, reserving the onions and any juices. Optionally, you can reduce the liquid in a saucepan over medium heat to create a richer sauce.
Serve the sliced brisket with the onions and cooking liquid spooned over the top. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a bright, fresh finish.
