AIP Slow Cooker Brisket (Tender, Herby + Gut-Friendly)

AIP Slow Cooker Brisket

Serves: 6–8
Cook Time: 8–10 hours on low

🛒 Ingredients:

  • 3–4 lb grass-fed beef brisket
  • 1 tbsp sea salt
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp ground ginger
  • ½ tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 tbsp dried rosemary (or 2 tbsp fresh)
  • 1 tbsp dried thyme (or 2 tbsp fresh)
  • 2 tbsp coconut aminos
  • 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 2 tbsp avocado oil (or coconut oil)
  • 1 large onion, sliced
  • 2–3 cloves garlic, smashed
  • 1 cup bone broth (beef or chicken)
  • Optional: 1 tbsp grated fresh horseradish (AIP-friendly and adds zing!)

🥄 Instructions:

Sear the brisket (optional but yummy):

In a large skillet, heat oil over medium-high. Sear brisket 2–3 mins per side for color and flavor.

Mix the seasoning:

In a bowl, combine salt, garlic powder, onion powder, ginger, cinnamon, rosemary, and thyme. Rub all over the brisket.

Layer the slow cooker:

Place sliced onions and smashed garlic at the bottom of the slow cooker. Lay the brisket on top.

Add liquids:

Pour bone broth, coconut aminos, and apple cider vinegar over the meat.

Cook:

  • Low for 8–10 hours (preferred for tenderness)
  • Or high for 5–6 hours if you're short on time

Rest & slice:

Let the brisket rest 10–15 minutes before slicing against the grain. Drizzle with some of the cooking juices.

🍽 Serving Ideas:

  • Serve with roasted carrots, mashed Japanese sweet potatoes, or sautéed greens.
  • Or pile into lettuce cups with fermented onions for a gut-friendly twist.
