Servings: 6 people
Equipment
- Slow Cooker/ Crock Pot
Ingredients
- 3 lb beef brisket trimmed
- 18 oz jar BBQ sauce
- 1 tbsp brown sugar or coconut sugar
- 1/2 tbsp each, garlic powder, chili, paprika, smoked maple rub
- 1 tsp each, onion powder, cumin, salt, pepper
Instructions
- Mix dry seasoning in a small bowl or a jar. Rub on both sides of brisket. Allow the brisket to marinate in seasoning for a half hour, while it reaches room temperature.
- Pour jar of your favorite BBQ sauce in slow cooker. I like to add a little bit of water to the jar and shake to get every bit of bbq sauce left.
- Place brisket fat side up in slow cooker (I trimmed some of the fat). Cover and cook on high for 6-7 hours or low for 8-10 hours. If you can flip the brisket about an hour before done cooking.
- Transfer cooked brisket to a sheet pan or cutting board to slice it or shred the brisket. Garnish with fresh green herbs like cilantro or parsley. Pour some of the sauce on top and serve.
