Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 pounds beef brisket
- 1 tablespoon kosher salt
- 1 tablespoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 large yellow onion, sliced
- 4 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 12 ounces cola (Coke or similar)
- 1 cup beef broth
- 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
Instructions
In a small bowl, combine kosher salt, black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and chili powder.
Rub the spice mixture generously over the entire surface of the brisket.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add olive oil.
Sear the brisket in the skillet for 2-3 minutes on each side until a crust forms, then remove from heat.
Place the sliced yellow onion and minced garlic in the bottom of a crock pot.
Lay the seared brisket on top of the onions and garlic.
In a medium bowl, mix together cola, beef broth, and balsamic vinegar. Pour this mixture over the brisket.
Cover the crock pot with the lid and cook on low heat 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 for 10 minutes before slicing against the grain.
Strain and reduce the cooking liquid to use as a gravy, if desired.
Serve the brisket with your favorite sides and enjoy!
