Brisket Ingredients
Method
Cooking Directions
Prepare the Brisket
Trim any excess fat from the brisket, leaving a thin layer for flavor. Rinse the meat under cold water and pat dry with paper towels.
Make the Rub
In a bowl, mix together brown sugar, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and salt to create a rub.
Season the Brisket
Rub the spice mixture generously all over the brisket, ensuring it is evenly coated. Let it sit at room temperature for 30 minutes.
Sear the Brisket
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear the brisket for 4-5 minutes on each side until browned.
Prepare the Cooking Liquid
In a separate bowl, combine Worcestershire sauce, beef broth, apple cider vinegar, and liquid smoke.
Slow Cook the Brisket
Transfer the brisket to a slow cooker and pour the cooking liquid over it. Cook on low for 8-10 hours or until the meat is fork-tender.
Rest and Serve
Once cooked, remove the brisket from the slow cooker and let it rest for 20 minutes before slicing against the grain. Serve with the cooking juices.
