Servings: 10
Ingredients
- 4 lb. beef brisket, (fresh or thawed, if previously frozen)
Rubbing mixture:
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 2 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon cumin powder
- 1 teaspoon ground mustard
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
Homemade Barbecue Sauce:
- ¾ cup beef broth
- 1 ½ cups ketchup
- 2 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- ⅓ cup vinegar
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- ½ cup brown sugar, packed
- 2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 teaspoon mustard powder
- 1 teaspoon ancho chili pepper
Instructions
Rubbing mixture:
- In small bowl, stir together all ingredients from the rubbing mixture. Rub this mixture over beef brisket (can be done the day before). If done ahead of time, place beef brisket in the resealable food-storage plastic bag and refrigerate.
Barbecue sauce:
- Add all the ingredients from the Homemade Barbecue Sauce ingredient section into your slow cooker and mix them all together with a whisk.
Adding Beef Brisket:
- Place beef brisket on top of the barbecue sauce. Using a deep metal spoon, pour some of the barbecue sauce over top.
- Cover and cook for 4 pound beef brisket for 8 hours on low.Once the time is up, remove brisket onto a plate or a cutting board. Turn off the slow cooker.
To thicken the barbecue sauce:
- Remove the barbecue sauce liquid from your slow cooker and add it to the medium size saucepan. Bring to a boiling point and simmer for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
How to slice beef brisket:
- Cut a small corner of the brisket to determine the direction of the grain of the meat. The grain should be perpendicular to your knife. Start slicing across the grin.
To serve:
- Arrange sliced brisket on a plate or a bun and pour Barbecue sauce on top of the slices. Alternatively, you can also reheat sliced beef brisket in the sauce and serve it warm.
