Ingredients

Scale
  • 3–4 pounds beef brisket, trimmed of excess fat
  • 12 ounces Guinness stout beer
  • 1 large onion, thinly sliced
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 teaspoons smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil or vegetable oil
  • 4 medium carrots, peeled and cut into 2-inch pieces
  • 3 parsnips, peeled and cut into 2-inch pieces
  • 2 medium Yukon gold potatoes, cubed
  • 1 large sweet potato, peeled and cubed
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary or ½ teaspoon dried rosemary
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Pat the brisket dry with paper towels. Rub it evenly with salt, pepper, smoked paprika, and dried thyme. Let it sit at room temperature for about 15 minutes.
  2. Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Brown the brisket on each side for 4-5 minutes until a crust forms.
  3. Place sliced onions and minced garlic at the bottom of the slow cooker. Set the browned brisket on top.
  4. In a bowl, whisk together Guinness, tomato paste, and Worcestershire sauce until smooth. Pour over the brisket and onions.
  5. Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours until the brisket is fork-tender.
  6. Toss carrots, parsnips, potatoes, and sweet potatoes with olive oil, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Spread on a baking sheet in a single layer.
  7. About 45 minutes before the brisket is done, roast the vegetables in a preheated oven at 425°F. Stir halfway through roasting.
  8. Once cooked, transfer the brisket to a cutting board and let rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing thinly against the grain.
  9. Serve sliced brisket alongside roasted root vegetables. Spoon some cooking juices over the top.

Notes

Browning the brisket before slow cooking adds flavor and texture. Keep the slow cooker lid closed during cooking to maintain heat. Rest the brisket before slicing to retain juices. For gluten-free, use tamari or coconut aminos instead of Worcestershire sauce and ensure Guinness is gluten-free. If cooking liquid is thin, reduce on stovetop to thicken.
