🥩 Slow-Cooker Brisket
🧾 Ingredients:
1.5–2 kg beef brisket
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 large onion, sliced
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup beef broth
1/2 cup tomato sauce
2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)
1 teaspoon dried thyme
2 carrots, sliced (optional)
2 potatoes, chopped (optional)
👨🍳 Instructions:
Sear the brisket (optional but recommended)
Heat olive oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Sear the brisket on both sides until browned (about 3–4 minutes per side).
Prepare the base
Place sliced onions and garlic at the bottom of the slow cooker.
Add the brisket
Put the seared brisket on top of the onions.
Mix the sauce
In a bowl, combine beef broth, tomato sauce, soy sauce, brown sugar, Dijon mustard, paprika, salt, pepper, and thyme.
Pour & add veggies
Pour the sauce over the brisket. Add carrots and potatoes around the meat if using.
Slow cook
Low: 8–10 hours (best for tenderness)
High: 4–6 hours
Rest & slice
Remove the brisket and let it rest for 10 minutes. Slice against the grain.
Serve
Spoon the sauce and vegetables over the sliced brisket.
🍽️ Tips:
Cooking on low heat gives the most tender result.
For a thicker sauce, remove the liquid and simmer it on the stove for 10–15 minutes.
Great with mashed potatoes, rice, or fresh bread.
