  • 3 1/2- to 4-pound fresh beef brisket (not corned beef), trimmed of fat
  • 1 package (7 ounces) mixed dried fruit
  • 1 carton (32 ounces) Progresso™ beef flavored broth
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • 5 to 6 tablespoons Gold Medal™ Wondra® quick-mixing flour

Steps

  • 1
    Place all ingredients except flour in 3 1/2- to 4-quart slow cooker, cutting beef to fit if necessary.
  • 2
    Cover and cook on Low heat setting 9 to 10 hours.
  • 3
    Remove beef to warm platter; cover with aluminum foil. Increase heat setting to High. Beat flour into hot cooking liquid, using wire whisk. Cover and cook 5 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until mixture is thickened. Cut beef into 8 portions; serve with sauce.

  • Serve steamed rice and fresh green beans with this savory dinner.
  • Vary the flavors of this dish by using different dried fruits. Using all apricots gives a sweeter flavor to the meat. Dried apples with a 2-inch stick of cinnamon will give a sweet, tangy fall flavor to the recipe.
  • Beef brisket is from the breast section under the first ribs. It is usually sold boneless. Brisket requires long, slow cooking to tenderize it and bring out the flavor.
