Ingredients
Scale
Brisket and Seasoning
- 3-4 lbs. brisket
- ½ cup BBQ rub seasoning
BBQ Sauce Mixture
- ¾ cup BBQ sauce
- ½ cup beef stock
- 1 Tbsp. Worcestershire sauce
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
Vegetables
- 1 large yellow onion, quartered
- 1 large red onion, quartered
Instructions
- Prepare the Brisket: Pat dry the brisket with paper towels to remove excess moisture. Rub the BBQ seasoning all over the brisket thoroughly to ensure it is evenly coated, which helps to build flavor during cooking.
- Make the BBQ Sauce Mixture: In a small bowl, whisk together the BBQ sauce, beef stock, Worcestershire sauce, and minced garlic until fully combined. This mixture will keep the brisket moist and infuse it with rich flavors during slow cooking.
- Layer Ingredients in Slow Cooker: Place the quartered yellow and red onions at the bottom of a 6-quart slow cooker. Set the seasoned brisket on top of the onions. Pour the BBQ sauce mixture evenly over the brisket, ensuring it is well-coated.
- Slow Cook the Brisket: Cover the slow cooker with its lid. Cook on LOW for 8 to 10 hours or on HIGH for 6 hours, until the brisket is tender and falls apart easily. The long cooking time allows the meat to absorb all flavors and become succulent.
- Slice and Serve: Once cooked, carefully remove the brisket from the slow cooker. Slice or shred the brisket according to your preference. Serve it with the cooked onions and drizzle with the flavorful sauce from the slow cooker.
- Enjoy: Pair the brisket with your favorite sides such as roasted potatoes or carrots, or use the shredded meat in sandwiches for a hearty meal.
Notes
- Store leftovers in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 3 days.
- Serve alongside roasted potatoes and carrots, or shred the brisket for delicious sandwiches on hamburger rolls.
- Garnish with fresh parsley or chopped green onions for added freshness and color.
