→ Slow Cooker
15 -
1 cup bbq sauce
16 -
¼ cup low sodium beef stock (or water)
17 -
1 tablespoon low sodium soy sauce
18 -
1 large onion, cut in half
19 -
2-3 pounds brisket (trim some fat if desired)
# Instructions:
01 -
Mix all the ingredients for the rub paste in a small bowl and massage thoroughly all over the brisket. For more intense flavor, let the brisket marinate with the rub for 1-24 hours in advance!
02 -
In a bowl, combine the bbq sauce, beef stock, and soy sauce. Place the onion halves in the bottom of the slow cooker. Add the brisket fat side up, then pour the sauce mixture over the top.
03 -
Cook on low heat for 6-8 hours (6-7 hours for a 2 pound brisket, 8 hours for 3 pounds). For best results, use a meat thermometer and cook until the internal temperature reaches 175ºF.
04 -
Position a rack in the upper third of your oven and preheat to 450ºF. Line a baking sheet with foil or use a broiler-safe wire rack. Transfer the brisket to the prepared pan. Pour the cooking liquid through a fat separator, discard the fat, and use the remaining sauce to baste the brisket. Broil until the brisket deepens in color and forms a delicious 'bark', watching closely to prevent burning.
05 -
Cover the brisket with foil and let it rest for 15-20 minutes, allowing the juices to redistribute. During this time, the internal temperature will rise about 10 degrees. Finally, slice against the grain and serve!
