A tender, flavorful slow cooker brisket perfect for Passover that falls apart easily and requires minimal hands-on time.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3–4 pounds beef brisket, trimmed of excess fat
  • 2 large onions, sliced
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup tomato sauce
  • 1 cup low sodium beef broth
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon salt, or to taste
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 sprigs fresh rosemary or thyme (optional)

Instructions

  1. Pat the brisket dry with paper towels. Season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper on all sides.
  2. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear brisket for 4-5 minutes per side until deep golden-brown crust forms.
  3. In the same skillet, sauté sliced onions until softened and slightly caramelized, about 5 minutes. Stir in minced garlic and cook for another minute.
  4. Transfer onions and garlic to the slow cooker. Place seared brisket on top.
  5. Pour in tomato sauce and beef broth. Sprinkle brown sugar, smoked paprika, and apple cider vinegar evenly over the brisket. Add rosemary or thyme sprigs on top.
  6. Cover and cook on low for 6 to 8 hours until brisket is fork-tender and falls apart easily. Alternatively, cook on high for 4-5 hours.
  7. Remove brisket and let rest on a cutting board for 10 minutes before slicing against the grain.
  8. Serve sliced brisket drizzled with slow cooker juices.

Notes

Searing the brisket before slow cooking is essential for flavor. Let the brisket rest before slicing to retain juices. If sauce is too thin, simmer on stove or thicken with cornstarch slurry. Can be cooked in a Dutch oven at 300°F for 3-4 hours if no slow cooker is available. Variations include adding root vegetables or substituting vegetable broth for vegan adaptation.
