Ingredients

1 large yellow onion, thinly sliced

2 garlic cloves, smashed and peeled

1 first cut of beef brisket (4 pounds), trimmed of excess fat

Coarse salt and ground pepper

2 cups low-sodium chicken broth

2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley leaves, for serving

Preparation

In a 5- to 6-quart slow cooker, combine onion and garlic. Season brisket with salt and pepper and place, fat side up, in slow cooker. Add broth. Cover and cook on high until brisket is fork-tender, about 6 hours. Remove brisket and thinly slice against the grain. Serve with onion and some cooking liquid; sprinkle with parsley.

If you make this ahead of time, cover and refrigerate brisket in cooking liquid, up to 1 week. Reheat in a 300-degree oven.
