Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 pounds Beef brisket
- 2 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 large Yellow onion, sliced
- 4 cloves Garlic, minced
- 12 ounces Dark beer
- 1 cup Beef broth
- 2 tablespoons Tomato paste
- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 whole Bay leaf
Instructions
Trim any excess fat from the brisket, then pat it dry with paper towels.
In a small bowl, mix together the salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and smoked paprika. Rub this spice mixture evenly over the entire surface of the brisket.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the brisket for 2-3 minutes on each side until it develops a brown crust. Remove the brisket and set aside.
In the same skillet, sauté the sliced onion and minced garlic until softened and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.
Transfer the onions and garlic to the bottom of a crock pot. Place the seared brisket on top of the onions.
In a mixing bowl, combine the beer, beef broth, tomato paste, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, and stir until well blended. Pour this mixture over the brisket in the crock pot.
Add the bay leaf to the crock pot and cover with the lid.
Cook on low for 8 hours, or until the brisket is tender and easily pulls apart with a fork.
Once finished, remove the brisket from the crock pot and let it rest on a cutting board for 10 minutes before slicing against the grain.
Optional: Strain the cooking liquid, skim off any fat, and simmer it in a small saucepan over medium heat for 10-15 minutes to create a rich gravy.
Serve the sliced brisket with the gravy drizzled on top or on the side, along with your favorite sides like mashed potatoes or roasted vegetables.
