Servings
Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 4-5 pound brisket
- 2 yellow or white onions, medium sliced
- 3-4 cloves garlic smashed
- ½ teaspoon paprika regular or smoked
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- ¾ teaspoons garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ⅛ teaspoon cayenne pepper
- ¾ teaspoon onion powder
- ¼ teaspoon oregano
- ¼ teaspoon thyme
- 1 cup low-sodium beef broth
- ½ cup ketchup
- ½ cup chili sauce like Heinz chili sauce, not like Sriracha
- ½ cup brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon prepared yellow mustard
Instructions
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil and 1 tablespoon of butter until melted and bubbly. Add the sliced onions and cook for about 10-15 minutes or until they’re tender and caramelizing. Add the smashed garlic cloves to the onions and saute until they soften and become fragrant, about 3-5 minutes. Add the herbs and spices and then remove from heat.
- Rinse the brisket, pat it dry, and sprinkle it with salt and pepper. Place the brisket in a large slow cooker (fat side up) and spread the onion mixture over the roast.
- In a medium bowl, combine the ketchup, chili sauce, brown sugar, beef broth, and mustard. Whisk it together and spread it over the onions.
- Cook the brisket on low for 9-10 hours.
- After the brisket has cooked in the crockpot, remove the brisket from the slow cooker and scrape off any fat. Place the brisket in an oven-safe baking dish and transfer the sauce to cover the brisket. Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and refrigerate the brisket for several hours (up to a whole day).
- An hour (more or less) before serving, remove the foil and remove any solidified fat. Carefully remove the brisket from the pan and place it on a large cutting board. Slice the roast into ½″ slices and then carefully (with the help of a long, heavy-duty spatula) return the sliced brisket to the pan. Re-cover the pan and place it in a cold oven and heat the oven to 300℉.
- Cook until the meat is heated through and the sauce is bubbling around the edges (30-45 minutes). Serve with mashed or roasted potatoes or these latkes and a green salad or your favorite vegetable.
