Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 pounds beef brisket
- 1 large, sliced onion
- 14 ounces whole berry cranberry sauce
- 1 cup beef broth
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 2 minced garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 3 tablespoons water
Instructions
Place the sliced onion evenly at the bottom of the crock pot to create a flavorful base for the brisket.
Trim any excess fat from the brisket and season both sides with salt and black pepper.
Lay the brisket on top of the onions in the crock pot, fat side up.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the cranberry sauce, beef broth, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, and minced garlic until well combined.
Pour the cranberry mixture over the brisket, ensuring the meat is evenly covered with the sauce.
Cover the crock pot with a lid and cook on low for 8 hours, or until the brisket is tender and easily pulls apart with a fork.
Carefully remove the brisket from the crock pot and transfer it to a cutting board. Let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing against the grain.
Meanwhile, prepare the gravy. Strain the cooking liquid from the crock pot into a saucepan over medium heat.
In a small bowl, mix cornstarch and water to create a slurry. Gradually whisk the slurry into the strained liquid, stirring constantly until the gravy thickens, about 3-5 minutes.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
Serve the sliced brisket topped with the cranberry gravy and enjoy!
