Method
Prepare the Brisket
- 1
Season the Brisket
In a small bowl, mix together onion powder, garlic powder, smoked paprika, black pepper, salt, and brown sugar. Rub the seasoning mixture all over the beef brisket.

Sear the Brisket
In a large skillet or Dutch oven, heat a small amount of oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, sear the brisket on all sides until browned, about 3-4 minutes per side.

Cook the Brisket
Transfer the seared brisket to a slow cooker. Pour in the beef broth, ensuring the brisket is mostly covered. Cover and cook on low for 8-10 hours or until the brisket is tender and easily shreds with a fork.
