How to Make Beef Brisket Crock Pot

  1. Place 1 large thinly sliced yellow onion (about 1 cup) in the bottom of your 6-quart slow cooker.
  2. Generously season a 3-4 lb beef brisket with 1 tablespoon black pepper.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together: 1 cup beef broth, ½ cup apple cider vinegar, ¼ cup Worcestershire sauce, 2 tablespoons brown sugar, 1 tablespoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon onion powder, 1 teaspoon paprika, ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional).
  4. Place the seasoned brisket on top of the onions in the slow cooker.
  5. Pour the liquid mixture over the brisket, ensuring it's mostly submerged.
  6. Cover and cook on low for 8-10 hours, or until the brisket is fork-tender.
  7. Remove the brisket from the slow cooker and let it rest for 15-20 minutes before slicing against the grain. Skim excess fat from the cooking liquid before serving.
