Ingredients
- 3-4 lb brisket
- 1 tbsp brown sugar
- 1 tsp coarse kosher salt
- 2 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 2 tsp smoked paprika
- 1 tsp coriander
- 2 cups BBQ sauce (½ cup reserved - I used Stubb's sweet and sticky bbq sauce)
Instructions
- In a small bowl, add brown sugar, salt, black pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, smoked paprika, and coriander. Whisk until well combined.
- Rub the dry rub all over the brisket and place in a 6-quart slow cooker. Then pour 1½ cups of BBQ sauce over the top.
- Cover and cook on low for 7-8 hours.
- Remove brisket and place on a baking sheet. Baste with reserved BBQ sauce and broil for 3-5 minutes or until sauce bubbles and caramelizes.
- To serve, slice brisket thinly across the grain. It can be served alone or on a bun. Enjoy!
Notes
- You'll find some tougher, white fat on the inside and sides of the brisket. This fat won't melt while cooking, so it's a good idea to cut it off. Plus, taking it out helps the meat absorb the Brisket Rub and flavors.
- Enhance your slow cooker's flavor profile by incorporating wood chips such as hickory, mesquite, or applewood for a smoky twist.
- For oven preparation, choose either a tightly covered baking dish with foil or a Dutch oven. Cook at 325°F for 3 to 4 hours until it becomes exceptionally tender.
