Main Ingredients
  • 3 to 4 pounds beef brisket A cut known for its rich flavor and tenderness when slow-cooked
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil For searing the meat
  • 1 onion, sliced For sweetness and aroma
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced For deliciously pungent notes
  • 4 carrots, chopped For vibrant color and nutritional value
  • 3 celery stalks, chopped For a fresh crunch
  • 4 potatoes, diced To soak up the savory juices
  • 2 cups beef broth To infuse warmth and richness
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce For a touch of umami
  • 2 teaspoons dried thyme For an earthy undertone
  • 1 teaspoon paprika To enhance the flavor profile
  • Salt and pepper To taste for seasoning
  • Fresh parsley For garnish

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
  2. Season the brisket generously with salt and pepper. Sear in the skillet, about 5 minutes per side, until browned.
  3. Transfer the seared brisket to the slow cooker.
  4. Add the sliced onion, minced garlic, chopped carrots, celery, and diced potatoes around the brisket.
  5. In a bowl, mix together the beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, dried thyme, and paprika. Whisk until well blended.
  6. Pour the mixture over the brisket and vegetables, ensuring everything is well coated.
  7. Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 8 to 10 hours or high for 4 to 6 hours, until the brisket is tender.
Serving
  1. Remove the brisket, let it rest for a few minutes, then slice against the grain.
  2. Serve with the vegetables and drizzle with cooking juices, garnished with fresh parsley.

Notes

Ensure the skillet is hot enough for a good sear. You can substitute the vegetables according to your preference. Adjust seasoning as needed. Leftover brisket can be used in sandwiches or salads.
