Description

This slow cooker beef brisket is tender, flavorful, and falls apart with every bite. Cooked low and slow in a savory sauce, it’s perfect for a comforting family meal or a crowd-pleasing dish at gatherings.



Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 3–4 lbs (1.5-2 kg) beef brisket
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 large onion, sliced
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup (240 ml) beef broth
  • 1/2 cup (120 ml) barbecue sauce
  • 1/4 cup (60 ml) soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste



Instructions

  1. Prepare the brisket:
    • Pat the beef brisket dry with paper towels. Season generously with salt, pepper, and smoked paprika.
  2. Sear the brisket:
    • Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the brisket on both sides until browned (about 4 minutes per side). Remove and set aside.
  3. Prepare the slow cooker base:
    • In the same skillet, sauté the onions until soft, about 3 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant. Transfer the onions and garlic to the slow cooker.
  4. Add the sauce:
    • In the slow cooker, combine beef broth, barbecue sauce, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar, and thyme. Stir well.
  5. Cook the brisket:
    • Place the seared brisket on top of the onion mixture in the slow cooker. Spoon some sauce over the meat.
    • Cover and cook on low for 8-10 hours, or on high for 5-6 hours, until the brisket is tender and easily shredded.
  6. Rest and slice:
    • Remove the brisket from the slow cooker and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing against the grain.
  7. Serve:
    • Serve the brisket with its sauce on the side. Pair it with mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or coleslaw for a hearty meal.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, let the brisket marinate in the sauce overnight before cooking.
  • You can thicken the sauce by simmering it on the stovetop with a slurry of cornstarch and water if desired.
