Ingredients

• 3 pounds Beef brisket
• 2 teaspoons Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Onion powder
• 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 large Yellow onion, sliced
• 4 cloves Garlic, minced
• 12 ounces Dark beer
• 1 cup Beef broth
• 2 tablespoons Tomato paste
• 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
• 1 whole Bay leaf

Directions

Step 1

Trim any excess fat from the brisket, then pat it dry with paper towels.

Step 2

In a small bowl, mix together the salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and smoked paprika. Rub this spice mixture evenly over the entire surface of the brisket.

Step 3

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the brisket for 2-3 minutes on each side until it develops a brown crust. Remove the brisket and set aside.

Step 4

In the same skillet, sauté the sliced onion and minced garlic until softened and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 5

Transfer the onions and garlic to the bottom of a crock pot. Place the seared brisket on top of the onions.

Step 6

In a mixing bowl, combine the beer, beef broth, tomato paste, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, and stir until well blended. Pour this mixture over the brisket in the crock pot.

Step 7

Add the bay leaf to the crock pot and cover with the lid.

Step 8

Cook on low for 8 hours, or until the brisket is tender and easily pulls apart with a fork.

Step 9

Once finished, remove the brisket from the crock pot and let it rest on a cutting board for 10 minutes before slicing against the grain.

Step 10

Optional: Strain the cooking liquid, skim off any fat, and simmer it in a small saucepan over medium heat for 10-15 minutes to create a rich gravy.

Step 11

Serve the sliced brisket with the gravy drizzled on top or on the side, along with your favorite sides like mashed potatoes or roasted vegetables.
