Time 4h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 22

Ingredients

2 tablespoons olive oil
Miss Brown's House Seasoning, recipe follows
One 2-pound beef brisket, fat cap trimmed, sinew removed
4 medium yellow onions, halved and sliced 1/2 inch thick
2 bay leaves
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
20 ounces pale ale
Sliced white bread, for serving
2 cups apple cider vinegar
1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
1/2 cup spicy brown mustard
1/2 cup whole-grain mustard
1/2 cup yellow mustard
1 red onion, roughly chopped
1 garlic clove, peeled and smashed
3 tablespoons bourbon
1/2 teaspoon cayenne
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon sweet paprika
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F.
For the brisket: Add the olive oil to a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Sprinkle the brisket with Miss Brown's House Seasoning. Sear the brisket fat-side down until a deep golden crust forms, 5 to 7 minutes. Flip and sear other side until deep golden brown, another 5 minutes. Remove to a sheet tray.
Add the onions and bay leaves and season with salt and pepper. Stir until coated in fat. Add the beer and bring to a boil. Put the brisket on top of the onions, cover and place in the oven for 3 hours.
For the BBQ sauce: While the brisket cooks, add the vinegar, brown sugar, brown mustard, whole-grain mustard, yellow mustard, onion, garlic, bourbon and cayenne to a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil and cook until the onion becomes slightly translucent, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat, add to a blender (or use an immersion blender) and puree until smooth, being careful of hot steam. Pour back into the pan and simmer over medium-low until slightly thickened and reduced by 1/4, about 30 minutes.
At the 3-hour mark, pour 1 cup of the BBQ sauce over the brisket, return to the oven and cook until the sauce has melted into the brisket, 30 minutes more. Use a knife to test the tenderness of the brisket. It should pierce the brisket very smoothly, with no pushback.
Remove the brisket from the pot and slice against the grain. Discard the bay leaves. Serve with sliced white bread and all those slow-braised beer onions. Don't forget about the extra BBQ sauce for dipping. Store any extra sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
Stir together the onion powder, paprika, garlic powder, salt and pepper in a medium bowl. Keep in an airtight container. Makes 5 teaspoons.

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

Ingredients

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:

Choosing the right cut of brisket is crucial for a tender and flavorful result. Look for a brisket flat or point with good marbling, as the fat renders during cooking, adding flavor and moisture to the meat.
Trimming excess fat from the brisket before cooking helps reduce cooking time and prevents the meat from becoming overly greasy.
Seasoning the brisket generously with a flavorful rub enhances its taste. Use a combination of salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and chili powder for a classic BBQ flavor.
Searing the brisket in a hot skillet before slow cooking adds a nice crust and locks in the juices, resulting in a more flavorful and tender brisket.
Using a slow cooker with a lid ensures even cooking and prevents the brisket from drying out. Cook the brisket on low heat for 8-10 hours or until it reaches an internal temperature of 200-205°F (93-96°C) for tender and fall-apart meat.
Basting the brisket with a flavorful liquid, such as beef broth or apple cider vinegar, during cooking adds moisture and enhances the flavor of the meat.
Preparing a homemade Carolina BBQ sauce using a combination of vinegar, brown sugar, mustard, and spices adds a tangy and smoky flavor to the brisket, complementing the rich taste of the beef.
Allowing the brisket to rest for 30 minutes before slicing helps the juices redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful brisket.

Slow-cooked brisket with Carolina BBQ sauce is a delectable and versatile dish perfect for special occasions or casual gatherings. By following these tips and using high-quality ingredients, you can create a tender, flavorful, and mouthwatering brisket that will impress your family and friends.
