INGREDIENTS

• 3 pounds beef brisket 
• 1 large yellow onion (or two small onions)
• 28 ounces canned diced tomatoes with the liquid
• 1 cup beef stock (chicken stock will work too)
• 6 cloves of garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• salt and pepper, to taste

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Rinse beef brisket and pat dry.
2. Grind both salt and pepper over both sides of the meat.
3. Heat a skillet over medium high heat and add one tablespoon of olive oil.
4. Once the oil is hot, sear the brisket on both sides until golden brown, about two minutes per side.
5. In a separate pan, heat over medium heat and add remaining tablespoon of olive oil.
6. Saute onions until golden brown.
7. Add brisket, fatty side down into your slow cooker.
8. On top of the brisket, place the cooked onion, minced garlic, tomatoes, stock and add a bit more salt and pepper.
9. Cook on low for 6 hours.
10. Cooking the meat for 6 hours will allow you to slice it for a nice presentation. If you like your meat more tender so that it falls apart, cook for 8 hours total.
