Description

This Slow Cooker Beef Brisket recipe delivers tender, flavorful beef with minimal effort. Slow-cooked for 8-10 hours with a savory mixture of barbecue sauce, Worcestershire sauce, and spices, the brisket becomes melt-in-your-mouth perfect, making it ideal for comforting family meals or special occasions.

Ingredients

Scale

Beef Brisket

  • 3–4 pound beef brisket

Aromatics

  • 1 onion, sliced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced

Sauce

  • 1 cup beef broth
  • 1/2 cup barbecue sauce
  • 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Prepare the base: Place the sliced onion evenly at the bottom of your slow cooker, creating a flavorful bed for the brisket.
  2. Prep the brisket: Trim any excess fat from the beef brisket to avoid excessive grease, then lay it on top of the onions in the slow cooker.
  3. Make the sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together beef broth, barbecue sauce, Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper until combined.
  4. Add sauce to brisket: Pour the prepared sauce mixture evenly over the brisket, ensuring it is well coated.
  5. Slow cook: Cover the slow cooker with its lid and cook on the low setting for 8 to 10 hours, until the brisket is tender and easily pulls apart with a fork.
  6. Rest the meat: Carefully remove the brisket from the slow cooker and let it rest for 15-20 minutes; this allows the juices to redistribute for a juicier bite.
  7. Serve: Slice or shred the brisket against the grain and serve with the reserved cooking liquid for extra flavor and moisture.

Notes

  • For best results, slice the brisket thinly against the grain to maximize tenderness.
  • You can adjust the amount of barbecue sauce based on your preferred level of sweetness and smokiness.
  • Leftover brisket can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or frozen for longer storage.
  • If your slow cooker runs hot, check the brisket around 7-8 hours to prevent overcooking.
  • Adding a splash of apple cider vinegar to the sauce mixture can enhance the tangy flavor.
