Pan-Seared Steak Is a Foolproof Valentine’s Dinner

Save time and oven space and use a slow-cooker for brisket that’s tender when pierced, with a rich, velvety sauce. Start in the morning and you’ll have brisket by dinnertime.

How to Make It

Step 1

Trim outer fat of brisket to about 1/4 in., then pat dry. Heat oil in a large frying pan over medium-high. Add brisket and brown all over, 10 to 15 minutes. Place in a 5- to 6-qt. slow-cooker.

Step 2

Swirl butter into frying pan, then add onions and carrots. Cook, stirring often, until onions are lightly browned, about 10 minutes.

Step 3

Stir in paprika, Worcestershire sauce, peppercorns, bay leaf, mustard, and 1/2 tsp. salt. Pour in broth, increase heat to high, and scrape up browned bits. Reduce heat and simmer 5 minutes to combine flavors.

Step 4

Pour vegetables and broth over meat. Cover. Turn heat to low (meat should simmer gently but not boil) and cook until meat is tender when pierced with a fork, 6 to 8 hours. Lift meat to a platter, cover with foil, and let rest 15 minutes.
