Let's Cook

Step 1.
In a 5- to 6-quart slow cooker, whisk together ½ cup dry red wine, 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour, 2 tablespoons tomato paste, and 2 teaspoons low-sodium beef bouillon base until smooth. Add 12 ounces halved small yellow potatoes, 1 (14-ounce) package frozen pearl onions, 4 large carrots cut into 2-inch pieces, 4 smashed garlic cloves, 8 thyme sprigs, and 2 bay leaves (if using).

Step 2.
Season the 1½ pounds lean beef brisket with ½ teaspoon kosher salt and ½ teaspoon black pepper. Nestle the brisket among the vegetables in the slow cooker. Cover and cook until the beef is tender, 7 to 8 hours on low or 4 to 5 hours on high.

Discard the thyme sprigs and bay leaves. Transfer the brisket to a cutting board and let it rest briefly. Slice the brisket against the grain. Serve the sliced brisket with the vegetables and any juices from the slow cooker. Sprinkle with chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley if desired.
