Description
A tender and juicy slow-cooked BBQ beef brisket that is perfect for any gathering.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2–3 pounds beef brisket
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 large onion, sliced
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup beef broth
- 1 cup BBQ sauce (your favorite brand)
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional for heat)
Instructions
- 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. Remove from skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the sliced onion and garlic. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until softened.
- In a slow cooker, combine the beef broth, BBQ sauce, Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar, smoked paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. Stir well 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 4-6 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 10-15 minutes before slicing against the grain. Serve with extra BBQ 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.
