Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 pounds Beef brisket
- 1 cup Tomato paste
- 0.5 cup Apple cider vinegar
- 1 cup Beef stock
- 2 tablespoons Onion powder
- 1 tablespoon Garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 teaspoons Salt
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon Liquid smoke
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cayenne pepper (optional)
Instructions
Begin by trimming any excess fat from the beef brisket, leaving just a thin layer for flavor.
In a small bowl, mix together onion powder, garlic powder, paprika, black pepper, salt, and cayenne pepper (optional).
Rub the spice mixture evenly over the entire brisket, pressing gently to adhere.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the brisket for 3-4 minutes on each side until a brown crust forms. Transfer the meat to a slow cooker.
In the same skillet, add tomato paste, apple cider vinegar, beef stock, Worcestershire sauce, and liquid smoke. Stir together, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet.
Pour the sauce over the brisket in the slow cooker, ensuring the beef is well coated.
Cover the slow cooker with a lid and set it to cook on low for 4 hours, or until the beef is tender and easily shreddable.
Once cooked, remove the brisket from the slow cooker and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing against the grain.
Serve the beef with the remaining sauce drizzled over the top or on the side for dipping. Enjoy with your favorite sugar-free side dishes.
