Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 3 lbs beef brisket ((or chuck roast))
  • 1 tbsp oil
  • 1 large red onion (finely diced)
  • 4 cloves garlic (finely diced )
  • 1 tbsp cumin
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 2 tsp coriander
  • 1 tsp oregano
  • 2 tsp ancho or chipotle chili powder
  • 1/2 tsp ground cloves
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 cup lime juice
  • 1 1/2 cups beef broth

Instruction

  • Put the slow cooker on sear/sauté and heat the oil. Sear the brisket on all sides until golden in colour, alternatively if you do not have a sear function you can do this in a pan on the stove top. Once the brisket is browned, remove from the slow cooker and set aside on a plate. 
  • Add the diced red onion and garlic to the slow cooker and sauté for 4 minutes until the onion begins to soften. 
  • Once the onion has softened add in all of the spices, salt, beef broth and lime juice and stir to mix well. Return the beef back to the pot and cook on low heat for 8 hours or high heat for 6 hours. 
  • The brisket is down when it tender and easily comes apart with a fork. Remove the brisket from the slow cooker and shred using 2 forks. Pour some of the excess liquid from the pot over the beef.
