Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Brisket
Trim excess fat from the brisket, leaving a thin layer for flavor.
Pat dry with paper towels. Moisture on the surface can prevent browning if searing.
In a small bowl, mix salt, pepper, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and cayenne.
Rub seasoning mixture evenly over all sides of the brisket.
Tip: Let the brisket sit at room temperature for 30 minutes to absorb seasoning before cooking.
Step 2: Optional Searing
For enhanced flavor, sear the brisket in a hot skillet with a little oil for 3–4 minutes per side until browned.
This step is optional but adds a rich, caramelized crust.
Step 3: Prepare the Slow Cooker Base
Layer sliced onions and garlic at the bottom of the slow cooker.
Place optional vegetables on top if desired.
In a bowl, whisk together beef broth, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, vinegar, brown sugar, Dijon mustard, thyme, and bay leaf.
Pour mixture over onions, vegetables, and brisket.
Step 4: Slow Cook the Brisket
Cover and cook on low for 8–10 hours or high for 4–6 hours.
Check at 6 hours (low setting) to see if meat is fork-tender. Brisket is done when it pulls apart easily with a fork.
Tip: Cooking on low produces more tender, juicy brisket. High setting can speed up cooking but may slightly reduce tenderness.
Step 5: Rest the Brisket
Remove brisket from slow cooker and place on a cutting board.
Tent with aluminum foil and let rest for 15–20 minutes.
Resting allows juices to redistribute, ensuring a moist bite.
Step 6: Make Gravy or Sauce
Remove vegetables from slow cooker.
Pour cooking liquid into a saucepan.
Optional: Mix 1–2 tablespoons cornstarch with cold water and whisk into sauce to thicken.
Simmer for 5–10 minutes until desired consistency.
Step 7: Slice and Serve
Slice brisket against the grain for maximum tenderness.
Serve with vegetables and drizzle sauce or gravy over the top.
