Description

This Savory Crock Pot Beef Brisket recipe is a flavorful, tender, slow-cooked delight perfect for a comforting meal. Marinated with a robust dry rub and cooked low and slow in a tangy, slightly spicy sauce, this beef brisket is melt-in-your-mouth delicious and easy to prepare in your slow cooker.

Ingredients

For the Brisket & Dry Rub:

  • 3–4 lbs beef brisket
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp brown sugar
  • 2 tsp paprika
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • ½ tsp ground cumin
  • ¾ tsp ground mustard
  • 1 tsp salt
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • 2 garlic cloves, chopped

For the Sauce:

  • ½ cup apple cider vinegar
  • 1½ cups ketchup
  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • 2 tsp black pepper
  • 2 tsp onion powder
  • 2 tsp ground mustard
  • 1 tsp cayenne pepper (optional)
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce

Instructions

  1. Marinate the Brisket: Combine all dry rub ingredients in a bowl. Rub generously over the brisket, ensuring an even coating. For optimal flavor, marinate the brisket in the refrigerator for anywhere from 30 minutes up to 24 hours.
  2. Add to Slow Cooker: In the slow cooker, whisk together all sauce ingredients until well blended. Place the brisket in the slow cooker, fat side up, and thoroughly coat it with the sauce mixture.
  3. Cook Low & Slow: Cover the slow cooker and cook on low heat for 8 to 10 hours. Allow the brisket to become fork-tender, and avoid lifting the lid during cooking to maintain temperature and moisture.
  4. Rest & Serve: Once cooked, let the brisket rest for 15 to 20 minutes to allow juices to redistribute. Slice the brisket against the grain for tenderness, then spoon additional sauce over the top before serving.

Notes

  • Marinating the brisket overnight will significantly enhance the flavor.
  • Cooking on low heat ensures tender, juicy meat; avoid the temptation to open the lid during cooking.
  • If you prefer a spicier dish, increase cayenne pepper according to taste.
  • The fat side up positioning helps baste the meat naturally during cooking.
  • Leftover brisket can be refrigerated for up to 3 days or frozen for longer storage.
