Slow Cooker Texas Beef Brisket
Description
Slow Cooker Texas Beef Brisket relies on a marinade of Worcestershire sauce, chili powder, garlic, and liquid smoke to infuse the brisket with deep, smoky flavors reminiscent of Texas barbecue. After an overnight soak, the brisket cooks slowly with beef broth until fork-tender, absorbing the marinade and juices.
The final step combines the beef juices with barbecue sauce, coating the sliced or shredded meat for a moist, flavorful finish. This slow cooking yields tender slices perfect for sandwiches or plated dinners with a balanced smoky, slightly spicy taste.
Serving the brisket on buns with extra sauce is suggested, highlighting its use as a filling for casual, satisfying meals. The recipe notes provide nutritional estimates, but no additional preparation advice is given.
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 2 teaspoons chili powder I like to use ancho chile powder
- 2 bay leaf
- 3 garlic minced, cloves
- 1 teaspoon onion salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 teaspoons liquid smoke
- 4 pounds beef brisket
- 1/2 cup beef broth
- 2 cups barbecue sauce
Instructions
- In a large resealable plastic bag, combine the Worcestershire sauce, chili powder, bay leaves, garlic, onion salt, pepper and liquid smoke.
- Add brisket to bag.
- Seal bag, and refrigerate overnight.
- Transfer beef to a slow cooker. I use a 5 quart.
- Add broth.
- Cover, and cook on low for 8 hours, or until tender.
- Remove brisket from the slow cooker.
- Discard bay leaves.
- Stir together 1 cup beef juices from slow cooker and barbecue sauce.
