Slow Cooker Beef Brisket: Tender, Juicy, and Flavor-Packed

Beef brisket is one of those dishes that, when cooked correctly, melts in your mouth and fills the home with irresistible aromas. Using a slow cooker makes it almost foolproof: the long, low heat gently breaks down the tough fibers, leaving you with tender, flavorful meat. Here’s how to create a perfect slow cooker beef brisket from start to finish.

Ingredients

To make a slow cooker beef brisket for 6–8 people, you will need:

3–4 lbs (1.4–1.8 kg) beef brisket, trimmed of excess fat
2 tbsp olive oil
Salt and black pepper, to taste
1 large onion, sliced
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup beef broth
½ cup Worcestershire sauce
½ cup soy sauce
¼ cup brown sugar
2 tbsp tomato paste
1 tsp smoked paprika
1 tsp dried thyme
1 tsp dried rosemary
Optional: 2 carrots and 2 celery stalks, chopped (for added flavor and a simple side)

Step-by-Step Method

Step 1: Prepare the Brisket

Start by patting your beef brisket dry with paper towels. This ensures a better sear and flavor. Generously season all sides with salt and black pepper.

Step 2: Sear the Meat (Optional but Recommended)

Searing adds depth of flavor and helps lock in juices. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, place the brisket fat-side down and sear for 4–5 minutes until golden brown. Flip and sear the other side. Remove and set aside.

Step 3: Prepare the Slow Cooker Base

In the same skillet (to keep all the flavorful browned bits), sauté the sliced onion and garlic for 2–3 minutes until fragrant. Transfer onions and garlic to the slow cooker.

Add chopped carrots and celery if using. These vegetables will infuse the brisket with extra flavor and can double as a side dish.
