- 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.
