From Southern Living January 2012. As a note, I am not a fan of cumin so I would reduce it to 1/2 tsp and/or omit it altogether!

SLOW COOKER TEXAS STYLE BEEF BRISKET RECIPE - (4.5/5)

Steps:
- Combine all the ingredients--except barbecue sauce--in a bowl, stir and pour over brisket. I like to marinate the brisket right in the slow cooker insert. Marinating is optional but it really adds to the flavor. Marinate brisket in the refrigerator over night if preferred, otherwise move to the next step. Note: If your brisket has a layer of fat, be sure to place the brisket fat side up in the slow cooker. After brisket is done and goes in the roaster pan, remove fat and discard before shredding, slicing or adding barbecue sauce. All all marinade ingredients into the slow cooker, stir and add brisket. Cover and cook on low 8 hours or until tender and easily flakes with a fork. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Add brisket, along with 1/2 cup juices from the slow cooker, to a roasting pan. Discard the remaining liquid along with bay leafs. Either pull the brisket apart with 2 forks or slice thinly across the grain. Pour barbecue sauce over brisket and heat for 15 minutes. Serve on toasted wheat buns or rolls if desired. TIP: To lower the calories, fat and carbohydrates, simply cut the serving size in half...which will equal 1/2 cup.
SLOW-COOKED, TEXAS-STYLE BEEF BRISKET
This slow-cooker recipe comes directly from the heart of a wonderful Texas cook who makes the best brisket in the world! Yay, Papa Louis! He shared it with me years ago, via my sister (his daughter-in-law). I change it from time to time by adding ingredients to make it more Mexican (serve it with tortillas), or leave it as is and serve it with fresh rolls.

Tips:
- Choose the right brisket: Look for a brisket that is well-marbled with fat, as this will help keep the meat moist during the long cooking process.
- Trim the brisket: Remove any excess fat from the brisket, leaving a thin layer of fat on the top.
- Season the brisket: Rub the brisket all over with a flavorful rub made from spices and herbs. You can also inject the brisket with a flavorful liquid, such as beef broth or apple juice.
- Cook the brisket low and slow: The best way to cook a brisket is to cook it low and slow. This will allow the connective tissue in the brisket to break down and make the meat tender and flavorful.
- Use a smoker or a Dutch oven: You can cook a brisket in a smoker or in a Dutch oven. If you are using a smoker, set the temperature to 225 degrees Fahrenheit and cook the brisket for 10-12 hours. If you are using a Dutch oven, preheat the oven to 300 degrees Fahrenheit and cook the brisket for 8-10 hours.
- Let the brisket rest: Once the brisket is cooked, let it rest for at least 30 minutes before slicing and serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat.
Conclusion:
Texas-style beef brisket is a classic dish that is perfect for any special occasion. By following these tips, you can make a delicious and flavorful brisket that your family and friends will love.
