Ingredients
- 3 pounds Beef brisket
- 1 cup Tomato paste
- 0.5 cup Apple cider vinegar
- 1 cup Beef stock
- 2 tablespoons Onion powder
- 1 tablespoon Garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 teaspoons Salt
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon Liquid smoke
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cayenne pepper (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Begin by trimming any excess fat from the beef brisket, leaving just a thin layer for flavor.
Step 2
In a small bowl, mix together onion powder, garlic powder, paprika, black pepper, salt, and cayenne pepper (optional).
Step 3
Rub the spice mixture evenly over the entire brisket, pressing gently to adhere.
Step 4
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the brisket for 3-4 minutes on each side until a brown crust forms. Transfer the meat to a slow cooker.
Step 5
In the same skillet, add tomato paste, apple cider vinegar, beef stock, Worcestershire sauce, and liquid smoke. Stir together, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet.
Step 6
Pour the sauce over the brisket in the slow cooker, ensuring the beef is well coated.
Step 7
Cover the slow cooker with a lid and set it to cook on low for 4 hours, or until the beef is tender and easily shreddable.
Step 8
Once cooked, remove the brisket from the slow cooker and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing against the grain.
Step 9
Serve the beef with the remaining sauce drizzled over the top or on the side for dipping. Enjoy with your favorite sugar-free side dishes.
