Method
Preparation
- 1
Prepare the Brisket
Remove the brisket from its packaging and pat it dry with paper towels. Trim excess fat if necessary.
- 2
Season the Brisket
In a small bowl, mix together salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and smoked paprika. Rub this seasoning mixture all over the brisket, ensuring even coverage.
Cooking
- 3
Sear the Brisket
In a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat, add a small amount of oil. Once hot, sear the brisket on all sides until browned (about 4-5 minutes per side).
- 4
Prepare Cooking Liquid
In a separate bowl, mix together the beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, and optional liquid smoke if using.
- 5
Cook the Brisket
Place the seared brisket in a slow cooker or roasting pan. Pour the cooking liquid over the brisket. Cover and cook on low for 8-10 hours, or until the brisket is fork-tender.
Serving
- 6
Rest and Slice
Once cooked, remove the brisket from the cooker and let it rest for 20-30 minutes before slicing. This helps retain the juices.

Serve
Slice against the grain and serve with BBQ sauce on the side if desired.
