Slow Cooker Beef Brisket
Description
This recipe prepares a 3 to 4-pound beef brisket flat cut by rubbing it thoroughly with a mixture of brown sugar, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. The spiced brisket is placed in the slow cooker with quartered onions and barbecue sauce poured over the top. Cooking on the low setting for 8-10 hours or high for 5-6 hours allows the meat to soften and absorb the spice rub and sauce flavors deeply.
The slow cooker method creates a moist, tender brisket with a balance of sweet and smoky notes, thanks to the brown sugar and paprika. The onions add depth and subtle sweetness to the cooking liquid.
This brisket is suited for slices served alone, as a main course with sides, or shredded for sandwiches with additional barbecue sauce. Leftovers reheat well.
Ingredients
- 3-4 pounds beef brisket flat
- 1 Tablespoon brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 small onion quartered
- 1 cup barbecue sauce or store-bought, homemade
Instructions
- In a small bowl combine the brown sugar, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Rub generously on each side of the brisket and place it in the bottom of the slow cooker.
- Place the onion in the slow cooker and then add the BBQ sauce on top. Cook on low for 8-10 hours or high for 5-6.
