Crockpot Brisket By Ellen K Recipes

SLOW COOKER BRISKET

Steps:

• In a small bowl, combine the soup mix, sugar, salt, and pepper. Sprinkle the mixture over both sides of the brisket and rub it into the meat.
• Place the meat, fat cap side down, into a 6 to 8-quart slow cooker. Place the thyme sprigs, garlic, and bay leaves on top of brisket. Add the carrots, potatoes, celery, and onion over top.
• In a liquid measuring cup, whisk together the stock, Worchestershire sauce and cornstarch until the cornstarch is fully dissolved. Pour the liquid into the slow cooker. Cover and cook on high for 5-6 hours, or low for 8 hours until the brisket is tender to slice, but not falling apart.
• Remove the brisket from the slow cooker and transfer to a cutting board, fat cap side up. Remove and discard the thyme sprigs and bay leaves. Thinly slice the brisket against the grain. Serve alongside the vegetables, drizzled all over with the gravy from the slow cooker.

SLOW COOKER BEEF BRISKET

Steps:

• Mix brown sugar, chili powder, paprika, salt, pepper, mustard powder, onion powder, and garlic powder for dry rub together in a small bowl.
• Mix beef broth, liquid smoke, and Worcestershire sauce for cooking liquid in a separate bowl.
• Place onions and carrots in a slow cooker. Pour cooking liquid over top and set to temperature High to let it warm up.
• Meanwhile, rinse brisket under cold water. Pat it dry, then season all over with the dry rub. Place brisket in the slow cooker on top of the onions and carrots, with the fatty side facing up. The cooking liquid should reach just to the bottom of the brisket; if not, add a little water.
• Cover and cook on Low for 8 hours. Turn the slow cooker off and transfer brisket to a foil-lined sheet pan. Trim some of the fat if desired.
• Place barbecue sauce in a bowl. Ladle 1/4 cup hot cooking liquid from the slow cooker into the bowl and mix it with the barbecue sauce. Baste the fatty side of the brisket with this mixture.
• Preheat the oven's broiler.
• Place the brisket in the preheated oven so there are 6 inches between the top of the brisket and the burner. Broil until the fatty edges start to crisp up, 2 to 4 minutes; watch closely so it doesn't burn.
• Remove from the oven and let rest for 10 minutes. Slice brisket thinly and against the grain.
• Remove vegetables from the slow cooker with a slotted spoon, and serve alongside the brisket.
