Description

This Slow Cooker Brisket Recipe delivers tender, flavorful beef that’s perfect for a comforting meal. Marinated with a homemade BBQ rub and slow-cooked alongside onions in a savory BBQ sauce mixture, this recipe yields juicy brisket that’s easy to prepare and ideal for serving with roasted vegetables or sandwich rolls.


Ingredients

Scale

Brisket and Seasoning

  • ½ cup BBQ rub seasoning
  • 34 lbs. brisket

BBQ Sauce Mixture

  • ¾ cup BBQ sauce
  • ½ cup beef stock
  • 1 Tbsp. Worcestershire sauce
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced

Vegetables

  • 1 large yellow onion, quartered
  • 1 large red onion, quartered

Instructions

  1. Prepare the brisket: Pat dry the brisket thoroughly with paper towels. Rub the BBQ seasoning all over the brisket evenly, ensuring the entire surface is coated for maximum flavor penetration.
  2. Mix the sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the BBQ sauce, beef stock, Worcestershire sauce, and minced garlic until well combined. This mixture will infuse the brisket with a rich and tangy taste as it cooks.
  3. Layer the ingredients in the slow cooker: Place the quartered yellow and red onions at the bottom of a 6-quart slow cooker. Position the seasoned brisket on top of the onions, then pour the prepared BBQ sauce mixture evenly over the brisket and onions.
  4. Slow cook the brisket: Cover the slow cooker with its lid and cook the brisket on the LOW setting for 8 to 10 hours or on HIGH for 6 hours. This slow cooking process will tenderize the meat and meld the flavors beautifully.
  5. Finish and serve: Once cooked, carefully remove the brisket from the slow cooker and slice or shred it according to preference. Serve the brisket topped with the cooked onions and spoon over the remaining sauce from the slow cooker for extra moisture and flavor. Enjoy your hearty meal!

Notes

  • Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days in the refrigerator.
  • Serve with roasted potatoes and carrots for a complete meal, or shred the brisket and serve on hamburger rolls for a delicious sandwich.
  • Garnish with fresh parsley or sliced green onions to add freshness and color to your dish.
