Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 pounds beef brisket
- 2 teaspoons kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 large yellow onion
- 1 cup beef broth
- 1 cup barbecue sauce
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
Instructions
Pat the beef brisket dry with paper towels and set aside.
In a small bowl, mix together the kosher salt, black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder.
Rub the seasoning mixture evenly over the brisket, ensuring all sides are well coated.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the brisket for about 2-3 minutes on each side until browned. Transfer the brisket to the crockpot.
Peel and slice the yellow onion into rings, and layer them on top of and around the brisket in the crockpot.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the beef broth, barbecue sauce, apple cider vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, and brown sugar until well combined. Pour the mixture over the brisket.
Cover the crockpot with its lid and set to cook on low for 8 hours or until the brisket is fork-tender.
Carefully transfer the cooked brisket to a cutting board and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing against the grain.
If desired, thicken the juices from the crockpot to make a gravy or use them as-is for extra flavor when serving.
Serve the sliced brisket with your favorite sides and spoon some of the crockpot juices over the top for added flavor.
