🥘 Ingredients

14 items

• 4 pounds Beef brisket
• 3 tablespoons Brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons Paprika
• 1 tablespoon Garlic powder
• 1 tablespoon Onion powder
• 1 tablespoon Chili powder
• 2 teaspoons Ground black pepper

📝 Instructions

10 steps

1. Trim the beef brisket of excess fat, leaving about 1/4 inch of fat for flavor and moisture.

2. Prepare the dry rub by mixing brown sugar, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder, black pepper, kosher salt, ground cumin, and mustard powder in a small bowl.

3. Pat the dry rub generously all over the brisket, making sure to coat it evenly on all sides.

4. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the brisket for 3-4 minutes on each side to develop a nice crust.

5. Transfer the seared brisket to a slow cooker.

6. In a separate bowl, mix beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, and 1/4 cup of barbecue sauce. Pour the mixture over the brisket in the slow cooker.

7. Cover and cook on low for 10 hours, or until the brisket is tender and easily pulls apart with a fork.

8. Once cooked, carefully remove the brisket from the slow cooker and let it rest on a cutting board for 15-20 minutes.

9. While the brisket rests, skim excess fat from the juices in the slow cooker. Mix in the remaining barbecue sauce with the juices to create a flavorful sauce.

10. Slice the brisket against the grain into thin slices and serve with the sauce on the side.
