Keto Slow Cooker Beef Brisket
Keto slow cooker beef brisket, seared and cooked for 10 hours with onion, garlic, smoked paprika and Worcestershire until it slices tender.

Brisket rewards patience. At eight hours it is still a little firm; at ten it gives way completely and slices tender. The slow cooker makes those ten hours effortless.
This brisket is seared, then cooked on a bed of onion with broth, tomato paste, smoked paprika and Worcestershire. The juices are thickened into a sauce at the end, for about 4g net carbs per serving.

FAQs
Point or flat?
The flat slices neatly and is leaner. The point is fattier and better for shredding.
Why is my brisket tough?
It usually needs more time. Keep cooking until it is fork-tender.
Can I cook it on high?
It is not recommended for brisket; low and slow gives the best texture.
