Ingredients

• 3 pounds Beef roast or brisket
• 2 tablespoons Smoked paprika
• 1 tablespoon Garlic powder
• 1 tablespoon Onion powder
• 1 teaspoon Kosher salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground
• 1.5 teaspoons Liquid smoke
• 1 cup Beef broth
• 1 medium Yellow onion, sliced
• 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Optional: Fresh parsley, chopped

Directions

Step 1

Pat the beef roast or brisket dry with paper towels and place it on a cutting board.

Step 2

In a small bowl, mix together smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, kosher salt, and black pepper to create the spice rub.

Step 3

Rub the spice mixture evenly all over the beef, pressing it lightly so it adheres to the meat. Let it sit for 5–10 minutes to absorb the flavors.

Step 4

In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear the beef for 2–3 minutes on each side, until browned. This step builds flavor.

Step 5

Place the sliced onion and minced garlic in the bottom of the crock pot, spreading them out evenly.

Step 6

Transfer the seared beef to the crock pot and place it on top of the onion and garlic mixture.

Step 7

Drizzle liquid smoke over the beef for a rich, smoky flavor.

Step 8

Pour the beef broth into the crock pot, ensuring it surrounds the meat without pouring it directly on top.

Step 9

Cover and cook on low heat for 8 hours (or on high for 4–5 hours), until the beef is tender and easily pulled apart with a fork.

Step 10

Once cooked, remove the beef from the crock pot and let it rest for 10 minutes. Slice or shred as desired.

Step 11

Optional: Sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley for a pop of color and added freshness before serving.

Step 12

Serve with your favorite sides like mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or crusty bread. Enjoy!
