Ingredients You’ll Need

(6–7 lb flat-cut beef brisket; 6-quart slow cooker)

1 (6–7 lb) beef brisket flat, trimmed of excess fat
1 large onion, sliced
4 cloves garlic, smashed
2 cups beef broth (or water + 2 bouillon cubes)
¼ cup Worcestershire sauce
2 tbsp brown sugar
1 tbsp smoked paprika
1 tsp black pepper
Optional: 2 bay leaves, 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar

💡 Pro Tips:
Use flat-cut brisket (not point)—it’s leaner and fits better in most slow cookers.
Do not add salt early—Worcestershire and broth provide enough; salt at the end if needed.
Skim fat after cooking for cleaner flavor.
