Ingredients

• 3 pounds beef brisket
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 2 teaspoons salt

• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 onions, sliced
• 2 cups beef broth
• 1 bottle (12 oz) Guinness beer
• 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
• 3 carrots, cut into chunks
• 3 sprigs fresh thyme

Instructions

1. Sear Brisket: Heat olive oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Season brisket with salt and pepper, then sear on all sides until browned.
2. Prepare Crockpot: Place minced garlic, sliced onions, and carrots at the bottom of the slow cooker.
3. Add Liquids: Pour beef broth, Guinness beer, and Worcestershire sauce over the vegetables.
4. Add Brisket: Place the seared brisket on top of the vegetables and liquid. Add thyme sprigs.

6. Rest and Serve: Let the brisket rest for 10 minutes before slicing. Serve with the cooked vegetables and sauce.

Tips

• For a thicker sauce, remove the brisket and vegetables, then simmer the liquid on high until reduced.
• Letting the brisket rest before slicing helps retain its juices.
• Serve with mashed potatoes or crusty bread to soak up the delicious sauce.
