Ingredients
- 3–4 lbs beef brisket
- 1 large onion sliced
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 2 cups beef broth
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tablespoons 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
- Rub the brisket with smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper, ensuring it's evenly coated.
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the brisket on both sides until browned, about 3–4 minutes per side. This step is optional but adds extra flavor.
- Place the sliced onions and minced garlic at the bottom of the crockpot to create a flavorful bed for the brisket.
- In a small bowl, mix beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, and tomato paste until well combined.
- Place the brisket on top of the onions and garlic. Pour the sauce mixture over the brisket, ensuring it is well coated.
- Cover and cook on low for 8–10 hours or on high for 4–6 hours, until the brisket is fork-tender.
- Remove the brisket from the crockpot and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing against the grain.
- Transfer the cooking liquid to a small saucepan and simmer until reduced to a thicker consistency, if desired.
- Serve the sliced brisket with the sauce poured over the top.
