Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 pounds beef brisket
- 2 teaspoons kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 large yellow onion, sliced
- 4 cloves minced garlic
- 1 cup beef broth
- 1 cup ketchup
- 3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon liquid smoke (optional)
Instructions
Pat the brisket dry with paper towels. In a small bowl, combine salt, pepper, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and brown sugar. Rub this spice mixture evenly over the brisket on all sides.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the brisket for about 3-4 minutes per side until a golden-brown crust forms. This step locks in flavor, so don’t skip it!
Place the sliced onion and minced garlic in the bottom of the slow cooker as a flavorful base. Lay the seared brisket on top.
In a medium bowl, whisk together beef broth, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, and liquid smoke (if using). Pour this mixture evenly over the brisket in the slow cooker.
Cover the slow cooker with its lid and cook on low for 8 hours, or until the brisket is extremely tender and easily pulls apart with a fork.
Once cooked, carefully remove the brisket from the slow cooker and tent it with foil. Let it rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing against the grain into thin slices for maximum tenderness.
Strain the liquid from the slow cooker into a saucepan. Optionally skim off excess fat from the top. Bring it to a boil and let it simmer for 5-10 minutes to reduce slightly into a rich, flavorful sauce.
Serve the sliced brisket with the reduced sauce drizzled over top. Pair it with mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or your favorite side dishes!
