Name: All-Day Brisket with Potatoes
Prep time: 30 min
Cook time: 8 h
Total time: 8 h 30 min
Yield: 8 servings.
Ingredients: 2 medium potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/4-inch slices; 2 celery ribs, sliced; 1 fresh beef brisket (3 pounds); 1 tablespoon canola oil; 1 large onion, sliced; 2 garlic cloves, minced; 1 can (12 ounces) beer; 1/2 teaspoon beef bouillon granules; 3/4 cup stewed tomatoes; 1/3 cup tomato paste; 1/4 cup red wine vinegar; 3 tablespoons brown sugar; 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard; 3 tablespoons soy sauce; 2 tablespoons molasses; 1/2 teaspoon paprika; 1/4 teaspoon salt; 1/8 teaspoon pepper; 1 bay leaf

I think the slow cooker was invented with brisket in mind. This sweet and savory version is perfection itself, because it melts in your mouth. It's very important to buy "first-cut" or "flat-cut" brisket, which has far less fat than other cuts.—Lana Gryga, Glen Flora, Wisconsin

Ingredients

2 medium potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/4-inch slices
2 celery ribs, sliced
1 fresh beef brisket (3 pounds)
1 tablespoon canola oil
1 large onion, sliced
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 can (12 ounces) beer
1/2 teaspoon beef bouillon granules
3/4 cup stewed tomatoes
1/3 cup tomato paste
1/4 cup red wine vinegar
3 tablespoons brown sugar
3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
3 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons molasses
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
1 bay leaf

Directions

Place potatoes and celery in a 5-qt. slow cooker. Cut brisket in half. In a large skillet, brown beef in oil on all sides; transfer to slow cooker. In the same pan, saute onion until tender. Add garlic; cook 1 minute longer. Add to slow cooker.
Add beer and bouillon granules to skillet, stirring to loosen browned bits from pan; pour over meat. In a large bowl, combine the remaining ingredients; add to slow cooker.
Cover and cook on low for 8-10 hours or until meat and vegetables are tender. Discard bay leaf. To serve, thinly slice across the grain.

Editor's Note

This is a fresh beef brisket, not corned beef.

This was good. I used a regular beef roast instead of brisket because I forgot to buy it at the store! Here is my blog post on it: http://heatskitchen.com/2015/12/07/slow-cooker-beef-and-potatoes/
