SLOW-COOKED BRISKET IN ONION GRAVY



SLOW-COOKED BRISKET IN ONION GRAVY image

Categories     Beef     Healthy

Yield 14 Servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

Ingredients
•5 pounds flat-cut beef brisket (see Note), trimmed
•2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
•4 large onions, thinly sliced
•6 cloves garlic, minced
•1 teaspoon dried thyme
•1 teaspoon coarsely ground pepper
•1 6-ounce can tomato paste
•2 cups reduced-sodium beef broth
•1 teaspoon salt
•2 tablespoons butter, softened
•2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
•1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
Tips & Notes
•Make Ahead Tip: Prepare onion mixture (Step 2) using 2 tablespoons oil (instead of 1) to cook the onions. Cover and refrigerate for up to 2 days. To finish, complete Step 1, bring the onion mixture to a simmer and finish with Steps 3-5. The cooked brisket and gravy can be refrigerated for up to 3 days. | Equipment: Large (5- to 6-quart) slow cooker
• Timing Tip: Cook the brisket for the shorter amount of time suggested if you prefer firmer, sliceable meat. If you like it to be falling apart, for shredding rather than slicing, set your timer for the longer time.
• Note: Brisket cuts are notoriously fatty, but the flat "first-cut" is much leaner than the fattier "point cut." It may be worth calling ahead to make sure your supermarket or butcher has one on hand.

Steps:

  • Preparation 1.Cut brisket into two or three pieces small enough to fit into a Dutch oven; pat dry. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in the Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat to medium and brown the brisket one piece at a time, about 2 minutes per side, adding an extra tablespoon of oil if necessary to prevent sticking. Transfer the brisket to a 5-quart (or larger) slow cooker. 2.Add the remaining 1 tablespoon oil to the pan. Add onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, 3 to 6 minutes. Add garlic, thyme and pepper and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Stir in tomato paste. Add beef broth and salt; bring to a boil. 3.Transfer the onion mixture to the slow cooker. Cover and cook until the brisket reaches desired tenderness 4.Transfer the brisket to a cutting board and slice or shred. Place in a serving dish; cover to keep warm. Transfer the gravy to a saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat and boil rapidly for 5 minutes to reduce slightly. 5.Meanwhile, mix butter and flour in a small bowl until smooth and creamy. Once the gravy has reduced, lower the heat to maintain a simmer. Stir in Worcestershire sauce. Whisk half the butter mixture into the gravy and return to a simmer. Cook, stirring, until it thickens slightly, 1 to 3 minutes. If the gravy does not thicken enough (it should have the consistency of a cream soup), add the rest of the butter mixture and repeat. Do not overcook. Serve the brisket with the gravy.

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 tablespoon vegetable oil
3 large onions, halved and sliced 1/2-inch thick (about 2 pounds)
1 tablespoon light brown sugar
salt
1 tablespoon tomato paste
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 3/4 cups low sodium chicken broth
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar

2 teaspoons onion powder
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 (5 lb) flat-cut beef brisket, trimmed of excess fat
3 sprigs fresh thyme
3 bay leaves
1 teaspoon red wine vinegar

Steps:

  • In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat oil until shimmering. Saute onions, brown sugar, and 1-4 teaspoon salt (to taste) until onions are golden, 10 to 12 minutes. Clear a space in the middle of the pan. Add tomato paste and flour to open space and cook, stirring constantly, until darkened, about 2 minutes. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Stir in broth and cook until sauce thickens, about 4 minutes. Off heat, stir in 2 tablespoons vinegar and transfer mixture to bowl. When cool, cover tightly with plastic and refrigerate.

Cover slow cooker and cook on low until brisket is fork-tender, 9 to 10 hours (or cook on high for 5 to 6 hours). If brisket it especially thick, cook an extra hour. Turn cooker off and allow brisket to rest for 30 minutes.
  • Remove brisket to cutting board. Cut across grain into 1-to-2-inch slices, and transfer to serving platter. Tent with foil.
  • Pour sauce into large skillet, discard herbs, and simmer over high heat until slightly thickened, 8 to 10 minutes. Skim off as much fat as possible, add remaining vinegar, then pour half of sauce over brisket. Serve with remaining sauce on side.
