Ingredients Ingredient Checklist 1 large yellow onion, thinly sliced 2 garlic cloves, smashed and peeled 1 first cut of beef brisket (4 pounds), trimmed of excess fat Coarse salt and ground pepper 2 cups low-sodium chicken broth 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley leaves, for serving

Cook’s Notes A whole brisket is made up of a first cut and a second cut. For this recipe, look for the leaner first cut, or “flat cut.” Ask your butcher to trim the layer of fat on the brisket down to 1/4 inch, which is enough to keep the meat moist and tender as it cooks.

Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 1 large yellow onion, thinly sliced 2 garlic cloves, smashed and peeled 1 first cut of beef brisket (4 pounds), trimmed of excess fat Coarse salt and ground pepper 2 cups low-sodium chicken broth 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley leaves, for serving

Directions

In a 5- to 6-quart slow cooker, combine onion and garlic. Season brisket with salt and pepper and place, fat side up, in slow cooker. Add broth. Cover and cook on high until brisket is fork-tender, about 6 hours. Remove brisket and thinly slice against the grain. Serve with onion and some cooking liquid; sprinkle with parsley.

If you make this ahead of time, cover and refrigerate brisket in cooking liquid, up to 1 week. Reheat in a 300-degree oven.

    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: 4 stars       04/15/2018   I wanted to give this 5 stars but hit the wrong button and couldn't changed it. I cooked this the other night for my partner, his brother, brotherinlaw and son. I was a little concerned because the recipe was so easy and though it would lack favour. I should not have worried it was delicious and was demolished by everyone. Im cooking it tonight for my son, so he can have leftovers for meals and cuts for lunch. Thanks  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: 2 stars       01/08/2018   Please disregard that first rating. This is a 5 star, the mistake was mine. I made this dish yesterday and it was delicious for such a simple recipe. I made it with a side dish of mash potatoes and spinach, I also made a gravy from the liquid of the brisket. I made white rice for my partner. This brisket was so tender and juicy I prepared as stated and it was awesome. I will make it again because I loved it as well as my partner. It was awesome and I recommend it  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: 5 stars       04/15/2017   I made this in my crock pot for the very first time and followed the directions. I was not sure how it was going to turn out, but to my surprise, it was perfect and incredibly tender. The best brisket recipe ever! Thank you Martha Stewart!! Excellent dish!  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       07/29/2014   I made this dish tonight for my family, my husband and I loved this meal... never made a beef brisket this way before. I tweaked the recipe a little bit for our likings. I used a 32oz container of chicken stock with a 3.5lb brisket, cooked for 5 hours and then took meat of crockpot and made gravy with stock to put over meat. I made cabbage cooked in butter for a side. DELICIOUS!!! Meat was like butter does not need gravy but we are a gravy family. Will be making this again!!!

    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       12/25/2012   I'm making it right now, so this isn't a review. Instead, I have a question. The liquid doesn't cover the meat. Is that okay? Or should I add enough liquid to cover it?  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       12/18/2012   I was looking for a slow cooker brisket recipe and was worried this one was too simple. Sometimes less is more!! Followed the recipe to a tee - with one exception. I cooked a 2.25 lb brisket on low for about 6-7 hours. The result was the most tender brisket my bf and I have ever eaten. One criticism - it was a little salty, although I may have been too liberal with the kosher salt. We had the leftovers the next day, and it was even better. Used a kosher Angus brisket from Trader Joe's.
