RECIPE FOR BEEF BRISKET IN THE CROCK POT RECIPES

Steps:

• Trim brisket of all visible fat, cut to fit 4 qt or larger crockpot, if necessary.
• Place onion, celery, potatoes and carrots in bottom of crockpot, lay brisket on top.
• Whisk together bouillon, bay leaf, garlic, Worcestershire sauce and dry mustard.
• Pour over brisket, cover pot.
• Cook on low setting for 8 to 10 hours, adding cabbage wedges and caraway seed for the last hour of cooking.
• To serve, discard cooking liquid, slice meat onto hot serving plates, accompany with the cooked potatoes, carrots, celery, cabbage wedges and your favourite mustard.

Steps:

• In a small bowl, combine the soup mix, sugar, salt, and pepper. Sprinkle the mixture over both sides of the brisket and rub it into the meat. Place the meat, fat cap side down, into a 6 to 8-quart slow cooker. Place the thyme sprigs, garlic, and bay leaves on top of brisket. Add the carrots, potatoes, celery, and onion over top.  In a liquid measuring cup, whisk together the stock, Worchestershire sauce and cornstarch until the cornstarch is fully dissolved. Pour the lid into the slow cooker. Cover and cook on high for 5-6 hours, or low for 8 hours until the brisket is tender to slice, but not falling apart.  Remove the brisket from the slow cooker and transfer to a cutting board, fat cap side up. Remove and discard the thyme sprigs and bay leaves. Thinly slice the brisket against the grain. Serve alongside the vegetables, drizzled all over with the gravy from the slow cooker.
