Slow Cooker BBQ Beef Brisket

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Slow Cooker BBQ Beef Brisket.

1. Step 1

   To start your delicious brisket journey, grab a small bowl and mix together brown sugar, chili powder, paprika, salt, black pepper, mustard powder, onion powder, and garlic powder to create a flavorful dry rub that will elevate your dish.

2. Step 2

   In another bowl, whisk together beef broth, liquid smoke, and Worcestershire sauce to prepare a savory cooking liquid that will infuse your brisket with rich flavor.

3. Step 3

   Now, let’s build the base for your slow cooker masterpiece.

4. Step 4

   Layer sliced onions and chopped carrots at the bottom of the slow cooker, creating a cozy bed for the brisket.

5. Step 5

   Pour the prepared cooking liquid over the vegetables, and set your slow cooker to High to get everything warmed up and ready to go.

6. Step 6

   Next, rinse the brisket under cold water and pat it dry with a paper towel.

7. Step 7

   Generously coat the brisket on all sides with your homemade dry rub, ensuring every inch is seasoned to perfection.

8. Step 8

   Place the brisket on top of the vegetables in the slow cooker, making sure the fatty side is facing up.

9. Step 9

   The cooking liquid should just cover the veggies and come close to the brisket; if it doesn’t, feel free to add a splash of water.

10. Step 10

    Cover the slow cooker and let it work its magic on Low for about 8 hours.

11. Step 11

    When the time is up, turn off the slow cooker and carefully transfer the brisket to a foil-lined sheet pan.

12. Step 12

    If you like, you can trim any excess fat at this point for a leaner finish.

13. Step 13

    In a small bowl, mix together your favorite barbecue sauce with a quarter cup of the hot cooking liquid from the slow cooker.

14. Step 14

    This will create a delicious glaze to baste the brisket.

15. Step 15

    Generously brush this mixture over the fatty side of the brisket, adding a layer of flavor that will make your taste buds dance.

16. Step 16

    Now, let’s get that oven broiler going! Preheat it and place the brisket under the broiler, keeping it about 6 inches from the heat source.

17. Step 17

    Broil for 2 to 4 minutes, watching closely as the edges crisp up beautifully—this is where the magic happens, so don’t wander too far! Once the brisket is perfectly broiled, remove it from the oven and let it rest for about 10 minutes.

18. Step 18

    This resting period is crucial for juicy slices.

19. Step 19

    When you’re ready, slice the brisket thinly against the grain for tender bites.
