Ingredients
Units
Scale
- :
- 3–4 pounds beef brisket
- 1 large onion, sliced
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup beef broth
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce
- 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon salt (more to taste)
- 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary
Instructions
- :
- Prepare the Brisket: Trim any excess fat from the brisket. Season both sides with salt, pepper, smoked paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, thyme, and rosemary. Rub the seasonings into the meat to coat it evenly.
- Layer the Ingredients in the Crockpot: Place the sliced onions and minced garlic in the bottom of the Crockpot. Add the seasoned brisket on top of the onions.
- Make the Sauce: In a bowl, whisk together the beef broth, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, balsamic vinegar, brown sugar, and Dijon mustard. Pour this mixture over the brisket.
- Cook the Brisket: Cover the Crockpot and cook on low for 8-10 hours, or until the brisket is tender and easily shreds with a fork.
- Shred and Serve: Once the brisket is fully cooked, remove it from the Crockpot and let it rest for a few minutes. Shred the meat with two forks and serve it with the sauce and onions from the Crockpot.
Notes
- :
- If you prefer a thicker sauce, you can transfer the liquid to a saucepan and simmer it on the stovetop to reduce it before serving.
- Serve the brisket with mashed potatoes, rice, or on sandwiches for a delicious meal.
- For a smokier flavor, add a few drops of liquid smoke to the sauce.
