Instructions
Creating the amazing beef brisket slow cooker recipe for delicious flavor can be very straightforward. Follow these simple steps for the best results:
1. Prepare the Brisket: Trim excess fat from the brisket if necessary, leaving some for flavor during cooking.
2. Season the Meat: In a small bowl, mix together the salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, onion powder, and garlic powder. Rub this seasoning mixture all over the brisket.
3. Sear (Optional): For added flavor, sear the brisket in a hot skillet over medium-high heat until browned on all sides (about 3-4 minutes per side).
4. Layer Ingredients in Slow Cooker: Place the sliced onion and minced garlic at the bottom of the slow cooker. Lay the brisket on top of the onion and garlic.
5. Mix the Sauces: In a separate bowl, combine the beef broth, barbecue sauce, Worcestershire sauce, and brown sugar. Stir until well combined.
6. Pour the Sauce: Pour the sauce mixture over the brisket in the slow cooker, ensuring that it’s well covered.
7. Cook: Cover the slow cooker and set it to low for 8 hours (or high for 4 hours). Allow it to cook until the brisket is tender and easily pulls apart with a fork.
8. Rest the Meat: Once done, carefully remove the brisket from the slow cooker and let it rest for about 15 minutes before slicing.
9. Serve with Sauce: Slice the brisket against the grain and serve with the remaining sauce from the slow cooker.
With these steps, you’re well on your way to enjoying an amazing beef brisket that boasts incredible flavor and tenderness.
