2 tablespoons sea salt

⅓ cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 (16 ounce) package sliced fresh mushrooms

Skip the grill and let your slow cooker do all the work on this simple brisket. No charcoal needed!

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     main-dish

Time 4h35m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/4 cup bourbon
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 tablespoon smoked paprika
1 tablespoon lightly packed dark brown sugar
2 teaspoons granulated garlic
2 teaspoons onion powder
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
3 1/2 pounds flat-cut beef brisket
1 tablespoon vegetable oil

Steps:

  • Whisk the bourbon, mustard, chili powder, paprika, sugar, granulated garlic, onion powder, cumin, 1 tablespoon salt and 1 teaspoon pepper together in the insert of a 6-quart slow cooker. Use a fork to pierce deeply all over the brisket, then place in the slow cooker and rub all over with the paste. Cover with a lid and cook on low heat until a meat thermometer reads an internal temperature of 185 to 200 degrees F in the thickest part, about 4 hours.
  • Turn the heat off and remove the insert from the slow cooker. Cool the brisket for at least 15 minutes in the cooking liquid.
  • Transfer the brisket from the cooking liquid to a large plate or baking sheet, and pat dry with paper towels. Reserve the cooking liquid. In a large cast-iron pan set over medium-high heat, add the oil and heat until it starts to shimmer. Add the brisket, fat-side down, and sear until browned and slightly crispy, 2 to 3 minutes. Use tongs or two metal spatulas to carefully flip the brisket. Cook until browned and slightly crispy on all sides, 1 to 2 minutes.
  • Transfer to a cutting board and slice the brisket against the grain. Serve hot with the cooking liquid.

SLOW COOKER BEEF BRISKET



Slow Cooker Beef Brisket image

This beef brisket turned out perfect! My husband couldn't stop bragging about. It will melt in your mouth and the broth it cooks in is amazing and simple.

Provided by Cooking with Kimberly Wood

Categories     Beef Brisket

Time 8h45m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 tablespoon brown sugar
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon ground paprika
1 teaspoon coarse salt
¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
¼ teaspoon ground mustard powder
¼ teaspoon onion powder
¼ teaspoon garlic powder
2 cups low-sodium beef broth
1 teaspoon liquid smoke
1 teaspoon Worcestershire Sauce
¼ cup water, or as needed
1 (2 pound) beef brisket
2 medium yellow onions, quartered
3 large carrots, cut into 1-inch pieces
¼ cup prepared barbecue sauce

Steps:

  • Mix brown sugar, chili powder, paprika, salt, pepper, mustard powder, onion powder, and garlic powder for dry rub together in a small bowl.
  • Mix beef broth, liquid smoke, and Worcestershire sauce for cooking liquid in a separate bowl.
  • Place onions and carrots in a slow cooker. Pour cooking liquid over top and set to temperature High to let it warm up.
  • Meanwhile, rinse brisket under cold water. Pat it dry, then season all over with the dry rub. Place brisket in the slow cooker on top of the onions and carrots, with the fatty side facing up. The cooking liquid should reach just to the bottom of the brisket; if not, add a little water.
  • Cover and cook on Low for 8 hours. Turn the slow cooker off and transfer brisket to a foil-lined sheet pan. Trim some of the fat if desired.
  • Place barbecue sauce in a bowl. Ladle 1/4 cup hot cooking liquid from the slow cooker into the bowl and mix it with the barbecue sauce. Baste the fatty side of the brisket with this mixture.
  • Preheat the oven's broiler.
  • Place the brisket in the preheated oven so there are 6 inches between the top of the brisket and the burner. Broil until the fatty edges start to crisp up, 2 to 4 minutes; watch closely so it doesn't burn.
  • Remove from the oven and let rest for 10 minutes. Slice brisket thinly and against the grain.
  • Remove vegetables from the slow cooker with a slotted spoon, and serve alongside the brisket.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cut of brisket: Look for a brisket that is well-marbled with fat, as this will help keep the meat moist during cooking.
  • Trim the brisket: Remove any large pieces of fat from the brisket before cooking. This will help the meat cook more evenly.
  • Season the brisket: Rub the brisket with a mixture of salt, pepper, and your favorite spices. This will help to enhance the flavor of the meat.
  • Brown the brisket: Sear the brisket in a hot pan before adding it to the slow cooker. This will help to create a flavorful crust on the meat.
  • Add liquid to the slow cooker: Add a small amount of liquid to the slow cooker, such as beef broth or water. This will help to prevent the meat from drying out.
  • Cook the brisket on low heat: Cook the brisket on low heat for 8-10 hours, or until the meat is fall-apart tender.
  • Let the brisket rest: Once the brisket is cooked, let it rest for 15-20 minutes before slicing and serving. This will help the meat to retain its juices.

Conclusion:

Cooking brisket in a slow cooker is a great way to achieve tender, flavorful results. By following these tips, you can ensure that your brisket turns out perfectly every time. So next time you're looking for an easy and delicious meal, give slow cooker brisket a try!
