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 beef: Brisket is the ideal cut for slow cooking, as it has a lot of connective tissue that breaks down during cooking, resulting in a tender and flavorful dish.
  • Trim the fat: Trimming excess fat from the brisket before cooking helps reduce the amount of grease in the final dish.
  • Season generously: Rub the brisket with a generous amount of salt, pepper, and other seasonings before cooking. This will help enhance the flavor of the meat.
  • Use a flavorful cooking liquid: The cooking liquid adds moisture and flavor to the brisket. Common choices include beef broth, water, red wine, or a combination of these liquids.
  • Cook the brisket low and slow: Slow cooking allows the connective tissue in the brisket to break down, resulting in a tender and fall-apart texture. Cook the brisket for at least 8 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 195°F (90°C).
  • Let the brisket rest before serving: After cooking, let the brisket rest for at least 15 minutes before slicing and serving. This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful dish.

Conclusion:

Slow-cooked tender beef brisket is a classic dish that is perfect for special occasions or casual gatherings. With careful preparation and cooking, you can create a brisket that is fall-apart tender and bursting with flavor. Whether you choose to serve it with traditional sides like mashed potatoes and gravy or something more creative, slow-cooked tender beef brisket is sure to be a hit with everyone at the table.
