Season the Brisket
Pat the brisket dry with paper towels. Rub the spice mixture evenly over the entire surface of the brisket, ensuring it is well coated. Let it sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes.
Cooking

Sear the Brisket
In a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat, add a little oil. Once hot, sear the brisket on all sides until browned, about 4-5 minutes per side.

Add Broth and Liquid Smoke
Once the brisket is seared, remove it from the skillet and place it in a slow cooker. Pour in the beef broth and, if using, liquid smoke.

Slice and Serve
Once cooked, remove the brisket from the slow cooker and let it rest for 15-20 minutes before slicing against the grain. Serve with BBQ sauce if desired.
