Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 to 4 pounds beef brisket
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 large onion, sliced
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 1 tablespoon smoked paprika
  • 1 tablespoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Season the brisket generously with salt and black pepper on all sides.
  2. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat and sear the brisket for 4 to 5 minutes on each side until browned.
  3. Transfer the seared brisket to the slow cooker.
  4. In the same skillet, add sliced onions and cook for 3 to 4 minutes until softened, then add minced garlic and sauté for another minute.
  5. Pour in the beef broth, apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, and tomato paste, stirring to combine.
  6. Add smoked paprika, ground cumin, thyme, onion powder, garlic powder, and cayenne pepper, mixing well.
  7. Pour the mixture over the brisket in the slow cooker, ensuring it is well coated.
  8. Cover and cook on low for 8 to 10 hours or high for 4 to 5 hours.
  9. Once done, remove the brisket and let it rest for 15 minutes before slicing against the grain.
  10. Serve with cooking juices drizzled over the top and garnish with fresh parsley.

Notes

  • For best results, allow the brisket to rest before slicing to retain juices.
  • This dish pairs well with mashed potatoes, coleslaw, or bread.
  • Adjust cayenne pepper to taste for desired spiciness.
