Ingredients

1 (6-pound) brisket, upper portion
Salt
Vegetable oil
1/2 pound carrots, peeled and cut into 2-inch pieces
Few stalks celery, cut into big chunks
3 medium onions, peeled and cut into eights
Cloves from 1 head garlic, peeled and lightly smashed
26-ounce box strained tomatoes (recommended: Pomi)
1/3 cup light brown sugar
1 cup chicken stock
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar or apple cider vinegar

Directions

Preheat oven to 200 degrees F.

Rub brisket generously with salt and vegetable oil.

Heat a large saute pan over medium-high heat. Add vegetable oil to evenly coat pan and when the oil is hot and is just beginning to smoke, add the brisket and brown on both sides. Transfer the brisket to a shallow baking dish. Add the vegetables to the saute pan. Cook until they brown and start to soften, about 5 minutes. Then pour the vegetables over the brisket.

Whisk together the tomatoes, sugar, stock and vinegar in a mixing bowl then pour it into the same saute pan. Cook for a few minutes to get all the flavor out of the skillet, and then pour over the brisket. It should be at least 3/4 of the way submersed in the liquid. Cover the dish loosely with aluminum foil and bake for 8 to 10 hours until tender and the meat begins to fall apart. Slice thinly and serve with veggies and cooking liquid.

Very tender brisket in the slow cooker
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I followed this recipe to the letter and it came out really tasty! I even had the Pomi strained tomatoes. I cooked it all... in the slow cooker instead of the oven, as this recipe is perfect for that. I cooked it for 6&1/2 hours on low and that was more than enough time. The sauce is really flavorful too. The only thing I would do differently next time is to add cornstarch and water to the sauce when it initially goes in the pan to cook down. The reason is b/c the sauce is a little watery and could use a thickening agent. Otherwise, very good and I'd definitely make it again.Read more

Yummy
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I made this recipe in a crockpot (on low for 10 hours) and it was amazing. My mom, dad, and brother were very pleased...we... are having it again a week from today!! Also, we had some corn muffins leftover from a carryout meal the night before; they were a great complement with this great meal.Read more

Tastes Great Second Time Around
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I can't even make a regular roast after making this one! The sweet/sour juice from this roast is the best for sopping up... with some bread. I froze my leftovers and they were just as tasty the second time around! Excellent recipe and definitely a keeper! Read more

Best Crock Pot Recipe
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I browned the meat in a pan and then put everything in my crock pot on low for about 8 hours. (I didn't have any time to sit... at my house for 10 hrs to watch the oven). I made the dilled potatoes that went with this and it's a favorite in our household. I used crushed tomatoes instead of the strained because, like others, I had no clue where to find these. The meat was very tender, I doubt it was any less tender than in the oven. Read more

Awesome Brisket!!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This is an incredible brisket recipe! I did use a small amount of roux to slightly thicken the sauce prior to putting in the... oven. I braised it (covered casserole) in the oven for 3 hours at 325 degrees and it turned out perfect! My family loved it! This is a keeper... nice job Dave!Read more

Very Good
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

This was a very good recipe for brisket. It just takes a long time to cook. I baked it at 250 for a shorter amount of time... and it made it a little less tender.Read more
