Ingredients

• 3 pounds beef brisket
• 1 large, sliced onion
• 14 ounces whole berry cranberry sauce
• 1 cup beef broth
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 2 minced garlic cloves
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons cornstarch
• 3 tablespoons water

Directions

Step 1

Place the sliced onion evenly at the bottom of the crock pot to create a flavorful base for the brisket.

Step 2

Trim any excess fat from the brisket and season both sides with salt and black pepper.

Step 3

Lay the brisket on top of the onions in the crock pot, fat side up.

Step 4

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the cranberry sauce, beef broth, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, and minced garlic until well combined.

Step 5

Pour the cranberry mixture over the brisket, ensuring the meat is evenly covered with the sauce.

Step 6

Cover the crock pot with a lid and cook on low for 8 hours, or until the brisket is tender and easily pulls apart with a fork.

Step 7

Carefully remove the brisket from the crock pot and transfer it to a cutting board. Let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing against the grain.

Step 8

Meanwhile, prepare the gravy. Strain the cooking liquid from the crock pot into a saucepan over medium heat.

Step 9

In a small bowl, mix cornstarch and water to create a slurry. Gradually whisk the slurry into the strained liquid, stirring constantly until the gravy thickens, about 3-5 minutes.

Step 10

Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.

Step 11

Serve the sliced brisket topped with the cranberry gravy and enjoy!
