Description
Indulge in this perfectly tender and flavorful slow cooked brisket, seasoned with spices and served with an optional BBQ glaze.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 1/2 – 5 pounds brisket
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 2 teaspoons brown sugar or sweetener
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 1/2 cup broth (Any broth: beef, chicken, vegetable.)
- BBQ sauce (Optional for glaze.)
Instructions
- Season all sides of the brisket with the spices.
- Optional Searing: Place a skillet on medium-high heat on the stove and add the olive oil. Add the brisket to the pan and sear both sides of the meat. Let it sear without moving it for a few minutes until a golden-brown crust forms. Use tongs to turn the brisket and sear all sides evenly.
- Add the broth to the bottom of the slow cooker (Mine is 7 quart).
- Next, add the seasoned brisket.
- Place the lid on the pot and slow cook. It typically takes around 8 to 10 hours on low heat or 4 to 6 hours on high heat. The exact cooking time can vary depending on the size of the brisket and the specific model of your slow cooker.
- Allow the meat to rest for 15-20 minutes before slicing. Glaze with BBQ sauce if desired.
Notes
- It is important to allow the brisket to rest before slicing to retain its juices.
- Adjust spices according to taste preference.
