Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 lbs Beef brisket
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
- 2 tsp Salt
- 1 tsp Black pepper
- 1 tsp Smoked paprika
- 1 tsp Ground cumin
- 1 tsp Chili powder
- 1 tsp Garlic powder
- 1 tsp Onion powder
- 1.5 cups Beef broth
- 2 tbsp Tomato paste
- 2 tbsp Apple cider vinegar
- 2 pieces Bay leaves
Instructions
Preheat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Rub the brisket with 1 teaspoon of salt and 1 teaspoon of black pepper on all sides.
Add the olive oil to the skillet. Sear the brisket for 2-3 minutes per side, or until evenly browned. Remove the brisket and set aside.
In a small bowl, mix together the smoked paprika, ground cumin, chili powder, garlic powder, and onion powder.
Rub the spice mixture evenly over the seared brisket.
Place the seasoned brisket into a slow cooker. Pour in the beef broth and add the tomato paste, apple cider vinegar, and bay leaves.
Stir the liquid mixture to combine, ensuring the brisket is partially submerged in the liquid.
Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 8 hours, or until the brisket is tender and easily pulls apart with a fork.
Once cooked, remove the brisket from the slow cooker and shred it using two forks.
Return the shredded brisket to the slow cooker and stir it into the juices to ensure maximum flavor absorption.
Serve the spiced shredded beef brisket hot, using it in your desired dish such as tacos, sandwiches, or over a bed of rice.
