Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Beef

    Trim excess fat from the beef brisket and pat it dry with paper towels.

  2. 2

    Make the Spice Rub

    In a small bowl, mix together the chili powder, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper.

  3. 3

    Season the Beef

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

  4. 4

    Sear the Beef

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

  5. 5

    Slow Cook with BBQ Sauce

    Transfer the brisket to a slow cooker. In a separate bowl, mix the BBQ sauce and apple cider vinegar together, then pour it over the brisket.

  6. 6

    Cook

    Cover and cook on low for 8-10 hours or on high for 4-6 hours until the beef is tender.

  7. 7

    Serve

    Remove the brisket from the slow cooker and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing. Serve with additional BBQ sauce if desired.
