Method
 

Cooking Instructions
  1. Begin by warming the olive oil in your slow cooker on the sauté setting or in a large pot over medium heat.
  2. Add the sliced onions to the pot and cook until they soften and start to caramelize, about 5-7 minutes.
  3. Generously sprinkle kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper over your brisket. Place it in the pot, ensuring it’s nestled among the onions.
  4. Toss in the minced garlic and let it sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
  5. Add your low-sodium beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, and soy sauce or tamari. Stir gently to combine.
  6. Set your slow cooker to low and cover. Allow the brisket to simmer for 8-10 hours, or until it’s incredibly tender.
  7. Once done, shred the brisket with two forks and incorporate it back into the juices before serving.
