Brisket and a homemade simple, tomato-based sauce is all that’s used for this paleo and whole30 slow cooker recipe.

Brisket and a homemade simple, tomato-based sauce is all that is  required for this paleo and whole30 compliant healthy, slow cooker brisket recipe.

If this recipe looks similar it’s because I pretty much took my slow cooker holiday brisket recipe and converted the sauce to be healthier, sans the bouillon granules. Removing this and using garlic salt inadvertently makes this recipe both paleo and whole30 compliant.

Brisket is a tough meat which makes it perfect for the low & slow method of the slow cooker. I used 1 1/2 lb. pieces of brisket that I seared in a skillet first in some olive oil. Searing the meat is a recommended but optional step.

(Before)

I trim off the big pieces of fat but other than that, I leave it on. The fat cap on the meat keep it from drying while it cooks. Plus, it will be a lot easier to get the fat off afterwards; the meat should be so tender you should be able to scrape the fat cap off with a kitchen knife. You can cook the meat with the fat cap facing up or down. Having made it both ways, I don’t find that it really makes a difference.

(After)

The cook time for this might vary. I like my brisket so tender it shreds easily so I like to let it cook for a minimum of 8 hours, usually more like 10. Serve this with slow cooker mashed sweet potatoes and a salad. Same the tomato sauce for later use!
