How To Make Pioneer Woman Slow Cooker Brisket

1. Season the Brisket: Mix the onion soup mix, brown sugar, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Rub this mixture all over the brisket evenly.
2. Prepare the Slow Cooker: Place the brisket fat side down in a 6 to 8-quart slow cooker. Put the thyme, garlic, and bay leaves on the brisket. Then, arrange the carrots, potatoes, celery, and onion on top.
3. Create the Cooking Liquid: In a cup, whisk beef stock, Worcestershire sauce, and cornstarch until smooth. Pour this over the ingredients in the slow cooker.
4. Cook the Brisket: Cover the slow cooker. Cook on high for 5-6 hours or on low for 8 hours. The brisket should be tender enough to slice but not fall apart.
5. Serve: Take the brisket out and place it on a cutting board. Remove the fat cap. Slice the meat against the grain. Serve with the cooked vegetables and drizzle with the gravy from the slow cooker.

What To Serve With Brisket

Serve brisket with sides like roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, coleslaw, cornbread, or a fresh green salad. For a heartier meal, add macaroni and cheese or baked beans.

How To Store Brisket

After cooking, brisket should be stored properly to maintain its taste and safety. Allow it to cool before refrigerating or freezing.

In The Fridge:

Place the brisket in an airtight container or wrap it tightly in aluminum foil or plastic wrap. It can be refrigerated like this for up to 4 days.

In The Freezer:

To freeze brisket, wrap it well in freezer-safe wrap or place it in a freezer bag, removing as much air as possible. It can be frozen for up to 3 months.

How To Reheat Brisket

Reheat brisket by wrapping it in foil and placing it in a preheated oven at 325°F (163°C) until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). This method helps retain moisture.
