Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 lbs beef brisket
- 2 tsp kosher salt
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 0.5 tsp cumin
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 large yellow onion
- 4 cloves garlic cloves
- 1 cup beef broth
- 2 tbsp tomato paste
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
Instructions
Pat the brisket dry with paper towels and trim any excess fat, leaving a thin layer for flavor.
In a small bowl, mix together the kosher salt, black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and cumin.
Rub the spice mixture all over the brisket, ensuring it is evenly coated.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the brisket on each side for 3-4 minutes until browned. Transfer the brisket to the crock pot.
Slice the yellow onion into thick rings and mince the garlic cloves. Add the onions and garlic to the same skillet, sautéing for 2-3 minutes until softened and fragrant. Add them to the crock pot on top of the brisket.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the beef broth, tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, and apple cider vinegar. Pour the mixture over the brisket in the crock pot.
Cover the crock pot with the lid and set it to low heat. Cook for 8 hours, or until the brisket is tender and easily pulls apart with a fork.
Once cooked, remove the brisket from the crock pot and let it rest on a cutting board for 10-15 minutes before slicing against the grain.
Optional: Strain the liquid from the crock pot for a flavorful gravy or sauce. Reduce it in a saucepan over medium heat if desired to thicken.
Serve the brisket slices with your favorite sides such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or coleslaw.
