Ingredients
- 3–4 pound beef brisket
- 1 large onion, sliced
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 cup beef broth
- 2 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tablespoon tomato paste
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
1. Begin by heating the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the brisket on all sides until a beautiful brown crust forms, about 3-4 minutes per side.
2. Place the sliced onions and minced garlic in the bottom of your crockpot, creating a bed for the brisket to rest on.
3. In a bowl, whisk together the beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, tomato paste, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. This flavorful sauce will surround and baste the brisket as it cooks.
4. Place the seared brisket on top of the onions in the crockpot. Pour the sauce mixture over the meat, ensuring it’s fully submerged.
5. Cover the crockpot and cook the brisket on low for 8-10 hours or on high for 4-5 hours, until the meat is fork-tender and easily shreds.
6. Once the Crockpot Brisket is cooked to perfection, slice or shred the meat and spoon the flavorful cooking juices and onions over the top. Serve this mouthwatering dish warm, accompanied by your favorite side dishes for a truly satisfying meal.
Notes
To reduce the fat and calorie content of Crockpot Brisket, you can try using a leaner cut of brisket, trimming any excess fat before cooking, reducing the amount of olive oil used for searing, increasing the proportion of vegetables, or serving with a side of roasted vegetables or a fresh salad.
