SLOW COOKED BRISKET SLIDERS

  • 6-7 cup slow cooker
  • 4 lb brisket
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 large onions (peeled)
  • 1 1/2 cups low sodium beef broth
  • 3 tbsp ketchup
  • 2  tbsp package onion soup mix
  • 3 tbsp corn starch
  • 1/4 cup parsley
  • 24 slider buns
  1. Cut brisket into quarters, season with salt and pepper (moderation)
    Heat oil on high   sear brisket pieces 3 minutes/side in heavy skillet
  2.  Slice onions and place in slow cooker.  Stir in beef broth, ketchup, soup mix
    Place brisket pieces on top, cover, cook on  low 8-10 hours until very tender
  3. Transfer brisket to cutting board and slice into bite size pieces (I placed cut brisket into corning ware so I could reheat on the stove or you can place brisket into crock pot to keep warm after you remove the liquid)
  4. Transfer onions and liquid to sauce pan – heat to simmer
    In a small bowl  stir together cornstarch and 1/2 cup water (I used the left over broth instead of water)
    Whisk cornstarch into liquid until thickened (I wanted the gravy to stick to the meat so I used more cornstarch & broth)
  5. Add enough gravy to brisket to coat the meat – add chopped parsley – toss to combine
  6. Split and toast buns until golden
