Trim any excess fat from the beef brisket to reduce overall fat content and set it aside.
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear the brisket on all sides until lightly browned (about 2-3 minutes per side). This step enhances flavor.
Place the sliced onion at the bottom of the crock pot to act as a bed for the brisket.
Transfer the seared brisket into the crock pot, laying it on top of the onions.
In a small bowl, whisk together the beef broth, tomato paste, balsamic vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, minced garlic, paprika, cumin, black pepper, and salt until well combined.
Pour the prepared sauce over the brisket, ensuring it is evenly coated.
If desired, tuck fresh rosemary sprigs into the crock pot for added aroma.
Cover the crock pot with a lid and cook on low heat for 8 hours or until the brisket is fork-tender.
Once cooked, 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 for maximum tenderness.
Optional: Strain the cooking liquid and simmer it in a saucepan to reduce for a flavorful sauce. Spoon the sauce over sliced brisket before serving.
Serve the brisket warm alongside steamed vegetables or a low-carb side, such as cauliflower mash, for a complete diabetes-friendly meal.
