Ingredients

1 tbsp olive oil

4 lbs brisket

3 onions, thinly sliced

6 cloves garlic, minced

1/2 tsp salt

2/3 cup balsamic vinegar

1 cup beef stock

1 1/2 tsp dried thyme

1 1/2 tsp dried rosemary

1/2 tsp black pepper

1 tbsp honey

Instructions

Sear the Brisket:

Heat the olive oil in a slow cooker set to sauté/sear mode. Once hot, add the brisket and sear each side for about 3-4 minutes until browned. Remove the brisket and set it aside.

Cook the Onions and Garlic:

Add the sliced onions and minced garlic to the slow cooker, sprinkle with salt, and cook for about 4 minutes until the onions start to soften.

Make the Sauce:

Pour in the balsamic vinegar, beef stock, dried thyme, rosemary, and black pepper. Stir the mixture well and return the seared brisket to the pot. Spoon some of the sauce over the brisket to coat it.

Slow Cook:

Cover and cook on low heat for 9-10 hours or on high heat for 4 hours, until the brisket is tender.

Prepare the Balsamic Onion Gravy:

Once the brisket is done, remove it from the slow cooker and set it aside. Transfer all the sauce and onions to a saucepan and bring to a simmer on the stovetop over high heat. Stir in the honey and let the sauce reduce and thicken for 8-10 minutes.

Serve:

Slice the brisket against the grain into 1/2-inch thick slices. Spoon the reduced balsamic onion gravy over the brisket and serve with your favorite sides.
