Ingredients
Scale
- 1 beef brisket (about 3 pounds)
- 2 teaspoons smoked paprika
- 2 teaspoons onion powder
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
- 3 large onions (sliced)
- 3 bay leaves
- 2 sprigs thyme
- 4 cups beef stock
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
Instructions
- Season the beef brisket with smoked paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Massage the spices into the meat for maximum flavor.
- In your slow cooker, mix the sliced onions, bay leaves, thyme sprigs, beef stock, and Worcestershire sauce. Stir everything well.
- Place the seasoned beef brisket into the slow cooker, ensuring it’s submerged in the liquid. Add a bit more salt to taste if you like.
- Cover and cook on low heat for 8-10 hours until the brisket is tender and easily pulls apart. Aim for an internal temperature of 195 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Once done, carefully take the brisket out, let it rest for a few minutes, and then slice it against the grain into thin or thick slices, as you prefer.
- Serve the tender beef brisket with the flavorful onions and a ladle of the cooking liquid.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to four days.
Notes
- To Freeze: Put the brisket in a freezer-safe container. With the gravy, it stays fresh for up to two months; without the gravy, it keeps for up to three months.
- To Reheat: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Transfer the brisket to a baking dish, cover with foil, and bake for 20 minutes or until heated through.
- Pro Tip: Pair the brisket with your favorite side dishes like mashed potatoes, roasted veggies, or coleslaw. Enjoy this melt-in-your-mouth beef brisket, bursting with rich flavors!
