Instructions:

1. Preparation: Begin by preparing your ingredients. Slice the onion thinly, and set it aside.

2. Season the Brisket: Place the beef brisket fat side up into the slow cooker. Sprinkle the garlic powder evenly over the brisket, ensuring it’s well-coated with flavor. Next, generously rub the ketchup into the surface of the brisket, creating a savory coating that will infuse the meat with deliciousness.

3. Layer with Onions: Arrange the sliced onion all around and on top of the brisket, creating a flavorful bed for the meat to rest on. The onions will add depth to the flavor profile of the dish as they cook down with the brisket.

4. Add Liquid: Pour enough water into the slow cooker to coat the bottom, providing moisture to help tenderize the brisket as it cooks. This will also contribute to the creation of a delectable gravy later on.

5. Slow Cook: Set the slow cooker to low heat and let the magic happen. Allow the brisket to cook low and slow, absorbing all the flavors and becoming incredibly tender. Cooking it all day ensures that the meat reaches the perfect level of tenderness and succulence.

6. Prepare the Gravy: Once the brisket is cooked to perfection, carefully remove it from the slow cooker and transfer it to a serving platter. Turn the thermostat of the slow cooker to high to prepare the gravy.

7. Thicken the Gravy: In a small bowl, mix the all-purpose flour with 1/4 cup of water until it forms a smooth slurry. Slowly pour the flour mixture into the liquid in the slow cooker, stirring constantly to prevent lumps from forming. Allow the mixture to come to a boil, continuing to stir until the gravy thickens to your desired consistency.

8. Serve and Enjoy: Slice the tender brisket against the grain for maximum tenderness, and ladle the rich gravy over the slices. Serve alongside your favorite side dishes, such as mashed potatoes or roasted vegetables, and enjoy the delicious flavors of this comforting Deli Style Brisket.

This recipe is perfect for gatherings, potlucks, or cozy weeknight dinners, and it’s sure to become a family favorite in your household too! 🍽️
