Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Brisket

    Trim any excess fat from the brisket, leaving a thin layer for flavor. Pat dry with paper towels.

  2. 2

    Mix the Rub

    In a small bowl, combine salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, brown sugar, and cayenne pepper. Mix well.

  3. 3

    Season the Brisket

    Rub the spice mixture all over the brisket, ensuring an even coating. Let it sit for at least 30 minutes, or refrigerate overnight for enhanced flavor.

Cooking

  1. 4

    Prepare the Slow Cooker

    Slice the onion and chop the garlic. Place them at the bottom of the slow cooker.

  2. 5

    Add the Brisket

    Place the seasoned brisket on top of the onions and garlic in the slow cooker.

  3. 6

    Add Liquids

    Pour the beef broth and Worcestershire sauce over the brisket, ensuring it is well covered.

  4. 7

    Cook the Brisket

    Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 8-10 hours, or until the brisket is fork-tender.

  5. 8

    Rest the Brisket

    Once cooked, remove the brisket from the slow cooker and let it rest for 15-20 minutes before slicing.
