Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 16

Ingredients

1 tablespoon brown sugar
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon ground paprika
1 teaspoon coarse salt
¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
¼ teaspoon ground mustard powder
¼ teaspoon onion powder
¼ teaspoon garlic powder
2 cups low-sodium beef broth
1 teaspoon liquid smoke
1 teaspoon Worcestershire Sauce
¼ cup water, or as needed
1 (2 pound) beef brisket
2 medium yellow onions, quartered
3 large carrots, cut into 1-inch pieces
¼ cup prepared barbecue sauce

Steps:

Mix brown sugar, chili powder, paprika, salt, pepper, mustard powder, onion powder, and garlic powder for dry rub together in a small bowl.
Mix beef broth, liquid smoke, and Worcestershire sauce for cooking liquid in a separate bowl.
Place onions and carrots in a slow cooker. Pour cooking liquid over top and set to temperature High to let it warm up.
Meanwhile, rinse brisket under cold water. Pat it dry, then season all over with the dry rub. Place brisket in the slow cooker on top of the onions and carrots, with the fatty side facing up. The cooking liquid should reach just to the bottom of the brisket; if not, add a little water.
Cover and cook on Low for 8 hours. Turn the slow cooker off and transfer brisket to a foil-lined sheet pan. Trim some of the fat if desired.
Place barbecue sauce in a bowl. Ladle 1/4 cup hot cooking liquid from the slow cooker into the bowl and mix it with the barbecue sauce. Baste the fatty side of the brisket with this mixture.
Preheat the oven's broiler.
Place the brisket in the preheated oven so there are 6 inches between the top of the brisket and the burner. Broil until the fatty edges start to crisp up, 2 to 4 minutes; watch closely so it doesn't burn.
Remove from the oven and let rest for 10 minutes. Slice brisket thinly and against the grain.
Remove vegetables from the slow cooker with a slotted spoon, and serve alongside the brisket.

Categories main-dish

Time 9h

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

Ingredients

One 4-pound first cut brisket, excess fat trimmed
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil
One 6-ounce can tomato paste
2 cups vegetable broth
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
3 red onions, quartered
3 carrots, peeled and cut into thirds
6 cloves garlic, smashed
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
2 bay leaves

Steps:

Sprinkle the brisket on both sides with salt and pepper. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the brisket (slice it in half lengthwise if too large for the skillet) and cook until browned on both sides, 4 to 6 minutes per side. Remove from the pan and set aside.
Stir the tomato paste into the pan and cook until heated through, about 2 minutes. Add the mustard and 1 cup of the vegetable broth; scrape the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon to remove any browned bits. Carefully transfer the liquid to a slow cooker, along with the onions, carrots and garlic. Then add the brisket, vinegar, Worcestershire, bay leaves, and the remaining 1 cup broth. Cook on low until the brisket is very tender, about 8 hours.
Remove the brisket to a platter and let rest for 20 minutes. Meanwhile, strain the cooking liquid, season it with salt and pepper, and keep warm.
Slice the brisket against the grain and serve it with the sauce.

Categories Dinner

Time 9h

Number Of Ingredients 17

Ingredients

1.2kg brisket, rolled
2 tbsp vegetable oil, plus extra for drizzling
2 large onions, sliced
4 tbsp plain flour
500-550ml golden ale
1 tbsp yeast or beef extract
1 tbsp dark brown soft sugar, plus extra to taste
1 tbsp balsamic vinegar, plus extra to taste
1⁄2 bunch of thyme
2 bay leaves
500ml hot beef stock
2 tsp cornflour (optional)
2kg Maris Piper or other floury potatoes, chopped
4 tbsp horseradish
100g butter
100g crème fraîche
handful of parsley, chopped

Steps:

Season the brisket all over with salt and pepper. Heat the vegetable oil in a frying pan (or use the sear function on your slow cooker) and sear the meat all over until browned. Transfer to a plate. Add another drizzle of oil, if needed, and fry the onions with a pinch of salt until lightly golden, about 12 mins. Sprinkle over the flour, stir until well-mixed, then pour in the ale and scrape the bottom of the pan to pick up any browned bits. Tip everything into the slow cooker (if using a frying pan).
Add the yeast or beef extract, sugar and vinegar, then the beef and herbs. Top up with stock until the brisket is just over half submerged. Cover and cook for 7-8 hrs on low until tender. Remove the meat from the slow cooker and cover to keep warm. Use the reduce or simmer function on your slow cooker and simmer for 10-15 mins until the gravy has thickened to your liking. If your slow cooker doesn't have a simmer function, pour the gravy into a pan and simmer on the hob until thickened. Add a pinch more salt, sugar or a dash more vinegar if needed. If you like your gravy to be extra-thick, mix the cornflour with a splash of cold water, then add to the pan and bubble for a few minutes.
Just before you remove the meat from the slow cooker, start on the mash. Cook the potatoes in a pan of boiling salted water for 20 mins until very tender when pressed. Drain and steam-dry for a few minutes before mashing with the horseradish, butter and crème fraîche. Scatter with parsley to serve. Cut the brisket into wedges and serve with the gravy and mash.

Tips:

Choose the right cut of beef brisket: Look for a brisket that is well-marbled with fat, as this will help keep the meat moist and flavorful during cooking.
Trim the brisket: Remove any excess fat from the brisket before cooking. This will help the meat cook more evenly and prevent it from becoming too greasy.
Season the brisket generously: Rub the brisket with a mixture of salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika. This will help to enhance the flavor of the meat.
Brown the brisket before cooking: Searing the brisket in a hot skillet before adding it to the slow cooker will help to develop a rich flavor and color.
Add vegetables and herbs to the slow cooker: Adding vegetables such as carrots, celery, and onions to the slow cooker will help to add flavor and moisture to the brisket.
Cook the brisket on low heat for a long time: Brisket is a tough cut of meat that needs to be cooked for a long time on low heat in order to become tender. Cook the brisket for at least 8 hours, or until it is fall-apart tender.
Let the brisket rest before serving: Once the brisket is cooked, let it rest for at least 30 minutes before slicing and serving. This will help the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, making it more flavorful and tender.

Conclusion:

Slow-cooker beef brisket is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a special occasion or a casual weeknight dinner. By following the tips above, you can ensure that your brisket turns out tender, flavorful, and juicy. Serve the brisket with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, green beans, or coleslaw, and enjoy!
