Slow Cooked Beef Brisket in Wine

Everyone loves this recipe for our Slow-Cooked Beef Brisket in Wine, and it makes enough to feed a large family and still have leftovers.  Make it on the weekends, and it’s best on Sunday, so you can serve the leftovers during the week for another easy dinner. The flavorful red wine gravy goes perfectly over the meat and with a side of our cheesy mini biscuits and best creamy mashed potatoes. YUM!

This recipe is adapted from our family’s favorite oven-baked brisket, and everyone goes bonkers over it! But whether you make the brisket in the oven or with your electric slow cooker, it always comes out perfect every time!

We love serving it with our favorite easy garlic mashed potatoes, and at times, with our best creamy mashed potatoes to soak up some of that delicious gravy.

Recipe Tips for Success…

• The addition of onions and green peppers to the wine gravy enhances the flavor of this brisket, as they will dissolve while slowly cooking. So don’t leave them out.
• Therefore, we highly recommend using an electric mini chopper to mince (and even puree) the onions and peppers as finely as possible. This will enhance the gravy and create savory flavors with this brisket.

Ingredients You Will Need:

For our Slow-Cooked Beef Brisket recipe, you will need the following ingredients:

• 1 boneless beef brisket (3 pounds)
• coarse salt, freshly cracked pepper, and garlic powder
• bunch of sprigs of fresh thyme (about 7 to 8)
• 3/4 cup red wine
• 4 garlic cloves- thinly sliced

How to Make Slow-Cooked Beef Brisket In Wine?

First, gather all the ingredients for this recipe. Then chop, mince and prepare all the vegetables. Next, you can follow our directions here so you’ll see what’s involved before you start. Plus, our full recipe card is located at the bottom of this page.

1. First, Season the Brisket! Generously season your brisket with salt, pepper, and garlic powder and place it into the slow cooker, facing the side with the fat on the bottom.

2. Next, add the sprigs of thyme on top and pour in the red wine.  Preheat and turn on the slow cooker, on HIGH. 

3. Add the Vegetables: Scatter around the brisket with the garlic, green pepper, onion, carrots, and cherry tomatoes evenly.

4. In the meantime, mix one package of au jus gravy mix with 2 cups of water, and stir until it’s completely dissolved.  Pour over and around the brisket.

5. Cover and cook on “High” until the brisket is tender, about 4.5 to 5 hours.

6. Next, transfer the fully cooked brisket to a cutting board and allow it to rest for 10 minutes before slicing. Slice thinly against the grain.  NOTE: The meat is so tender, it may fall apart as you slice. 

7. Then transfer the meat onto a deep serving platter, spoon vegetables and gravy around the meat, and serve!  It’s that easy!

Storing

• Store any brisket leftovers in a sealed container, and keep it chilled in the refrigerator. It will stay fresh for up to 3 days.
• We never freeze leftover brisket, but we believe you can if you prefer. We prefer to make sandwiches during the week to consume the leftovers, and make lunches and another dinner out of it.
