Ingredients

• 4 pounds Beef brisket
• 2 teaspoons Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 3 large Yellow onions
• 4 minced Garlic cloves
• 28 ounces Canned crushed tomatoes
• 1 cup Beef broth
• 2 tablespoons Tomato paste
• 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 1 leaf Bay leaf
• 2 tablespoons Parsley (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Pat the beef brisket dry with paper towels and season evenly with salt and black pepper on all sides.

Step 2

In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add olive oil and sear the brisket until browned on all sides. This step takes about 3-4 minutes per side. Once browned, remove the brisket and set aside.

Step 3

Slice the yellow onions thinly and add them to the same skillet. Sauté for 5-7 minutes, until softened and lightly golden. Add minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute.

Step 4

In the crock pot, combine the canned crushed tomatoes, beef broth, tomato paste, dried thyme, paprika, and bay leaf. Stir to mix well.

Step 5

Transfer the sautéed onions and garlic into the crock pot. Place the seared brisket on top of the onion mixture.

Step 6

Spoon some of the tomato onion gravy over the brisket to coat it evenly. Cover the crock pot with a lid.

Step 7

Set the crock pot to low heat and cook for 8 hours, or until the brisket is tender and easily pulls apart with a fork.

Step 8

Once cooked, remove the brisket and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing it against the grain.

Step 9

Serve the sliced brisket on a platter and spoon the rich tomato onion gravy over the top. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a touch of freshness.

Step 10

Optional: Pair the brisket with mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or crusty bread for a complete meal.
