Slow Cooker BBQ Wagyu Beef Brisket
Description
Slow Cooker BBQ Wagyu Beef Brisket starts with a carefully blended dry rub of garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, brown sugar, cumin, ground mustard, salt, and black pepper. The brisket is coated with this rub and refrigerated briefly before cooking. A multi-ingredient BBQ sauce with ketchup, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, and spices creates a rich, balanced base. The brisket cooks covered in this sauce on high heat for five hours in the slow cooker, allowing flavors to meld and meat to become tender. After cooking, the brisket is removed and the sauce is skimmed of fat. It is then simmered to thicken and a portion is brushed over the meat, which is broiled to caramelize the sauce's sugars and develop a smoky finish. The sliced brisket is served with remaining sauce for added moisture and flavor.
The slow-cooked nature of this brisket makes it an excellent dish for a hearty meal, pairing well with classic BBQ sides. The rich, sweet and smoky sauce complements the marbled Wagyu beef, which is trimmed prior to cooking to balance fat content and tenderness.
