Brisket
Method
Preparation
- 1
Prepare the Spice Rub
In a small bowl, mix together salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and smoked paprika. This will be your spice rub.
- 2
Season the Brisket
Rub the spice mixture generously over the beef brisket, ensuring it is evenly coated on all sides.
- 3
Sear the Brisket
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, sear the brisket on all sides until browned, about 4-5 minutes per side.
Cooking
- 4
Prepare the Cooking Liquid
In a slow cooker or a large baking dish, combine beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, and fresh thyme.
- 5
Cook the Brisket
Place the seared brisket into the slow cooker or baking dish with the prepared cooking liquid. If using a slow cooker, cover and cook on low for 8-10 hours. If using the oven, cover the dish with foil and bake at 300°F (150°C) for 4-5 hours.

Check Doneness
The brisket is done when it is fork-tender. Check for tenderness after the cooking time is up.
Serving
- 7
Rest and Slice
Once cooked, remove the brisket from the slow cooker or oven and let it rest for 15-20 minutes before slicing. This helps retain the juices.

Serve
Slice against the grain and serve with your choice of sides, such as mashed potatoes or coleslaw.
