jewish brisket recipe Slow Cooked with Onions
- Total Time: 240 minutes
- Yield: 8–12 servings 1x
- Diet: General
Description
This recipe features a rich, savory, and tender Jewish brisket slow-cooked with onions, transforming simple ingredients into a fall-apart delicious meal. It is an easy, hearty, and family-friendly dish perfect for weeknights or special gatherings, offering deep flavor with minimal hands-on time.
Ingredients
- 4 lbs flat cut beef brisket
- 5 large yellow onions, sliced
- 4 cups low-sodium beef broth
- 2 Tbsp tomato paste
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 Tbsp sweet paprika
- 1 tsp kosher salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- 2 Tbsp olive oil
Instructions
- Prep Brisket: Pat the brisket very dry with paper towels. Season generously all over with 1 tsp salt, 0.5 tsp pepper, and 1 Tbsp sweet paprika until evenly coated.
- Sear for Flavor: In a large Dutch oven, heat 2 Tbsp olive oil over medium-high heat until shimmering. Sear the brisket until deeply browned on all sides (8-10 minutes total), forming a rich crust. Remove and set aside.
- Sauté Onions: Add the sliced yellow onions to the pot, scraping up any browned bits from the brisket. Sauté until softened and lightly caramelized (10-12 minutes), turning golden. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute more until fragrant.
- Build the Sauce: Stir in 2 Tbsp tomato paste and cook for 1-2 minutes, until it darkens slightly. Pour in 4 cups low-sodium beef broth, scraping the bottom of the pot to loosen all flavorful bits. Bring to a gentle simmer.
- Slow Cook Magic: Return the seared brisket to the pot, nestled among the onions and sauce. Cover tightly with a lid or foil. Cook in a preheated oven at 325°F (160°C) for 3-4 hours, or until it feels fork-tender when pierced. (Alternatively, transfer to a slow cooker and cook on low for 6-8 hours or high for 3-4 hours until the meat easily pulls apart.)
Notes
If the liquid looks too reduced during cooking, add an extra splash of broth or water. Using pre-sliced onions saves time for busy meal prep. Don’t worry about perfectly even searing; deep browning is the goal for depth of flavor. For a quick slow cooker option, you can skip searing entirely, though searing does add a richer layer of flavor. Ensure your beef broth is gluten-free for dietary needs. For a low-carb meal, serve this flavorful brisket with creamy cauliflower mash or roasted green beans.
