Description
A tender and flavorful slow cooker beef brisket recipe that is perfect for BBQ lovers.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 to 3 pounds beef brisket
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 large onion, sliced
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup beef broth
- 1 cup barbecue sauce (your favorite brand)
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional, for heat)
Instructions
- Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the brisket on all sides until browned, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove from skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the sliced onion and garlic. Sauté until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes.
- In the slow cooker, combine the beef broth, barbecue sauce, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, smoked paprika, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. Stir to combine.
- Place the seared brisket on top of the sauce mixture in the slow cooker. Add the sautéed onions and garlic on top of the brisket.
- Cover and cook on low for 8-10 hours or on high for 4-5 hours, until the brisket is tender and easily shredded with a fork.
- Once cooked, remove the brisket from the slow cooker and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing. Serve with additional barbecue sauce if desired.
Notes
- For a smoky flavor, add a few drops of liquid smoke to the sauce mixture.
- Serve the brisket on toasted buns for a delicious BBQ sandwich option.
