Time 14h40m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 15

¼ cup chopped onion
2 tablespoons liquid smoke flavoring
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 tablespoon celery seed
1 tablespoon ground chipotle pepper
1 teaspoon salt
2 pounds beef brisket, or more to taste
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
¼ cup apple cider vinegar
1 (14.5 ounce) can canned diced tomatoes
1 ½ cups water
2 bay leaves
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour, or as needed

Steps:

  • Combine onion, liquid smoke flavoring, Worcestershire sauce, garlic, chili powder, celery seed, chipotle pepper, and salt in a bowl until marinade is smooth. Place brisket in a shallow glass dish and pour marinade over brisket. Cover dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate, 8 hours to overnight.
  • Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Scrape onion from the brisket, reserving onion and marinade. Cook brisket in the hot oil until browned on all sides, about 10 minutes. Transfer brisket to a slow cooker on Low.
  • Pour marinade with onion and vinegar into the skillet and bring to a boil while scraping the browned bits of food off of the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon. Cook mixture until onion is tender and liquid is reduced by 3/4, 5 to 10 minutes.
  • Mix vinegar-onion mixture, tomatoes, water, and bay leaves into slow cooker.
  • Cook on Low until brisket is very tender, at least 6 hours.
  • Strain liquids from slow cooker into a saucepan; bring to a boil. Whisk enough flour into liquid until desired gravy consistency is reached, about 5 minutes.
  • Shred brisket with a fork and serve with gravy and tomato-onion mixture.

I would not recommend this recipe. The brisket was bland and the sauce was too sweet.
