Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your slow cooker to low heat.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the tomato paste, beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.
  3. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and sear the brisket for 3–4 minutes on each side until golden brown.
  4. Layer sliced onions and minced garlic in your cooking vessel, then place the seared brisket on top.
  5. Pour your prepared sauce evenly over the brisket, ensuring it coats the meat well.
  6. Cover and cook on low for 8–10 hours until fork-tender.
  7. Shred the brisket into bite-sized pieces and mix it back into the sauce.
  8. Serve over creamy mashed potatoes, rice, or in sandwich rolls with extra sauce.
