SLOW-COOKER BRISKET



Slow-Cooker Brisket image

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.

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. Brisket comes from the lower chest of the cow and is a tough cut of meat. However, it is also very flavorful. When choosing a brisket, look for one that is at least 3 pounds and has a good amount of marbling. The marbling will help to keep the brisket moist as it cooks.
  • Trim the brisket. Before you cook the brisket, you need to trim it. This means removing any excess fat from the meat. You can also remove the silver skin, which is a thin membrane that covers the brisket. Trimming the brisket will help it to cook more evenly.
  • Season the brisket. Once the brisket is trimmed, you need to season it. You can use a variety of seasonings, such as salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika. You can also add a rub to the brisket. A rub is a mixture of spices and herbs that is rubbed into the meat. Rubs can help to add flavor and moisture to the brisket.
  • Cook the brisket in a slow cooker. The best way to cook a brisket is in a slow cooker. This will allow the brisket to cook slowly and evenly. You can cook the brisket on low for 8-10 hours or on high for 4-6 hours.
  • Let the brisket rest before slicing. Once the brisket is cooked, you need to let it rest before slicing. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat. Let the brisket rest for at least 30 minutes before slicing.

Conclusion:

Slow cooker braised brisket machaca is a delicious and easy-to-make dish. It is perfect for a weeknight meal or a special occasion. The brisket is cooked in a slow cooker with a variety of spices and herbs, which makes it very flavorful. The machaca is made with shredded brisket, which is then cooked with eggs and vegetables.
