Description
A delicious and tender slow-cooked BBQ beef brisket that is easy to prepare and packed with flavor.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 to 3 pounds beef brisket
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon onion powder
- 1 cup beef broth
- 1 cup BBQ sauce (your favorite brand)
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
Instructions
- Start by trimming any excess fat from the brisket. Pat the meat dry with paper towels.
- In a small bowl, mix together the salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, and chili powder. Rub this spice mixture all over the brisket.
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the brisket on both sides until browned, about 4-5 minutes per side. This step adds flavor but can be skipped if you’re short on time.
- Place the seared brisket in the slow cooker. Pour the beef broth, BBQ sauce, Worcestershire sauce, and apple cider vinegar over the meat.
- Cover and cook on low for 8-10 hours or on high for 4-5 hours, until the brisket is tender and easily pulls apart with a fork.
- Once cooked, remove the brisket from the slow cooker and let it rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing against the grain.
- Serve with additional BBQ sauce on the side and enjoy!
Notes
- For a spicier kick, add 1 teaspoon of cayenne pepper to the spice rub.
- Serve the brisket on toasted buns with coleslaw for a delicious BBQ sandwich.
