Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pounds Beef brisket
- 2 tablespoons Smoked paprika
- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon Garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon Onion powder
- 1 tablespoon Chili powder
- 1 teaspoon Kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 2 teaspoons Liquid smoke
- 1 cup Beef broth
- 1 cup Barbecue sauce
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
Instructions
Trim excess fat from the brisket, leaving a thin layer for flavor.
In a small bowl, combine smoked paprika, brown sugar, garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder, kosher salt, black pepper, and ground cumin to create a rub.
Rub the seasoning mixture evenly over the brisket, ensuring all sides are coated.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the brisket on all sides for 2-3 minutes per side until browned.
Transfer the brisket to the slow cooker.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the beef broth, barbecue sauce, and liquid smoke. Pour this mixture over the brisket in the slow cooker.
Cover the slow cooker with a lid and set it to cook on low for 8-10 hours, or until the brisket is fork-tender.
Once cooked, carefully remove the brisket from the slow cooker and let it rest on a cutting board for 10 minutes before slicing against the grain.
Optional: Skim excess fat from the cooking liquid in the slow cooker and use it as a sauce to serve with the brisket.
Serve the sliced brisket with the sauce and your favorite sides, such as coleslaw, cornbread, or roasted vegetables.
