Brisket Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Brisket

    Trim excess fat from the brisket and pat dry with paper towels. This will help the rub adhere better.

  2. 2

    Make the Rub

    In a small bowl, mix together onion powder, garlic powder, paprika, brown sugar, salt, and black pepper.

  3. 3

    Season the Brisket

    Rub the spice mixture all over the brisket, ensuring it is evenly coated.

  4. 4

    Sear the Brisket

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear the brisket on all sides until browned, about 3-4 minutes per side.

  5. 5

    Slow Cook the Brisket

    Transfer the brisket to a slow cooker. Pour beef broth and apple cider vinegar over the brisket. Cover and cook on low for 8-10 hours or until tender.

  6. 6

    Rest and Slice

    Once cooked, remove the brisket from the slow cooker and let it rest for 20 minutes before slicing against the grain.
