Slow Cooker Jewish Style Sweet and Sour Brisket

Ingredients

  • 4-5 lbs beef brisket
  • 1 large onion, sliced
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup ketchup
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • Salt to taste

Instructions

  1. Start by preparing your brisket. Trim any excess fat and season both sides generously with salt and pepper.
  2. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, sear the brisket for about 4-5 minutes on each side until browned. This step adds incredible flavor!
  3. Once the brisket is browned, transfer it to the slow cooker. Add the sliced onions and minced garlic on top.
  4. In a bowl, whisk together the ketchup, beef broth, apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, black pepper, and paprika. Pour this mixture over the brisket in the slow cooker.
  5. Cover and cook on low for 8-10 hours or until the brisket is fork-tender. If you’re short on time, cooking on high for 4-5 hours will work as well.
  6. Once cooked, remove the brisket from the slow cooker and let it rest for about 20 minutes before slicing.
  7. Slice the brisket against the grain, and serve it topped with the sweet and sour sauce and onions from the slow cooker. Garnish with fresh parsley for an added touch.
