3 tablespoons vegetable oil
4 medium shallots, thinly sliced (about 2 cups)
1 package (8 oz) baby bella mushrooms, thickly sliced
2 teaspoons finely chopped fresh garlic
2 1/4 lb fresh beef brisket (not corned beef)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons Progresso™ beef flavored broth (from 32-oz carton)
5 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon soy sauce
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1/4 cup heavy whipping cream

Steps:

  • Spray 5- to 6-quart slow cooker with cooking spray.
  • In 12-inch nonstick skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of the oil over medium-high heat. Add shallots; cook 3 to 4 minutes, stirring frequently, until starting to brown. Add mushrooms; continue cooking 3 to 4 minutes, stirring frequently, until tender. Stir in garlic; cook 30 to 60 seconds or until fragrant. Remove from skillet to small bowl.
  • Rub brisket with remaining 1 tablespoon oil; season with salt and pepper. Heat skillet over medium-high heat; add brisket, and cook 1 to 2 minutes on each side, until browned. Place fat-side up in slow cooker; top with shallot mixture.
  • In small bowl, mix 1/2 cup broth, the Worcestershire sauce and soy sauce. Pour into slow cooker around beef brisket. Cover; cook on Low heat setting 8 to 9 hours or until brisket is very tender. Transfer beef to cutting board; cover and keep warm. With slotted spoon, transfer shallot mixture to small bowl.
  • Strain cooking juices using fine mesh sieve, and reserve 1 1/2 cups of the strained juices; transfer to 1 1/2-quart saucepan. In small bowl, mix remaining 2 tablespoons beef broth and the cornstarch with whisk; beat into cooking juices in pan. Heat to simmering over medium heat 2 to 3 minutes, stirring constantly, until slightly thickened. Remove from heat; stir in whipping cream.

I'm giving this recipe one star because the brisket was so tough I couldn't even chew it. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what went wrong.

This recipe was a disaster. The brisket was dry and tough, and the sauce was way too sweet. I would not recommend it.

The recipe was easy to follow, but the brisket was a bit tough. I think I overcooked it.

The brisket was a bit dry, but the sauce was delicious. I'll try cooking it for less time next time.

This recipe was a bit too sweet for my taste, but the meat was tender and flavorful. I'll try it again with less brown sugar next time.
