Total Time: 8 hrs 15 mins
Cuisine: Jewish
Serves: 8 servings
Ingredients
- 4-5 lbs brisket
- 1/2 cup prepared horseradish
- 1 onion, sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup beef broth
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Start by preparing your ingredients. Gather all the ingredients: brisket, prepared horseradish, sliced onion, minced garlic, beef broth, salt, and pepper.
- Season the brisket generously with salt and pepper on both sides. This will enhance the flavor of the meat as it cooks.
- In a large skillet over medium-high heat, sear the brisket for about 4-5 minutes on each side until it develops a nice brown crust. This step is optional but adds depth of flavor.
- Once the brisket is seared, transfer it to the slow cooker. Place the sliced onion and minced garlic on top of the brisket.
- In a separate bowl, mix together the prepared horseradish and beef broth. Stir well to combine.
- Pour the horseradish mixture over the brisket and onions in the slow cooker, ensuring the brisket is well-coated.
- Cover the slow cooker with its lid and set it to low heat. Allow the brisket to cook for approximately 8 hours, or until it is tender and easily pulls apart with a fork.
- About 30 minutes before serving, check the brisket. If you desire a thicker sauce, remove the lid and let it cook uncovered to reduce the liquid slightly.
- Once the brisket is done cooking, carefully remove it from the slow cooker and let it rest for about 15 minutes before slicing. This helps retain the juices.
- Slice the brisket against the grain into thin pieces. Serve it warm with the horseradish sauce and onions spooned over the top.
- Enjoy your Slow Cooker Horseradish Brisket as part of your Passover meal, accompanied by traditional sides such as matzo, roasted vegetables, or kugel.
Tips
- • Always sear your brisket before slow cooking to lock in those incredible flavors and create a beautiful caramelized exterior. • Choose a well-marbled cut of brisket for maximum tenderness and juiciness. • Slice the meat against the grain to ensure each bite is incredibly tender. • Don't rush the cooking process—low and slow is the key to a mouthwatering brisket. • Let the meat rest after cooking to help redistribute the juices and maintain moisture. • If you prefer a thicker sauce, remove the lid during the last 30 minutes of cooking to reduce the liquid. • Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days and often taste even better the next day!
