Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients

For the Spice Rub

1 tablespoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon chili powder
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon ground mustard
½ teaspoon onion powder
¼ teaspoon celery seed optional
¼ teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper

For the Sauce

1 cup ketchup
3 tablespoons brown sugar
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar or white vinegar
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
½ teaspoon liquid smoke or ¼ tsp smoked paprika

Brisket

3 to 4 lb beef brisket trimmed with fat cap left on top

Method

Rub the brisket with spice mixture. Cover and marinate overnight or for at least 1 hour.
Mix the sauce in a bowl. Adjust to taste and refrigerate until use.
Place the brisket fat side up in a slow cooker. Pour sauce over top.
Cover and cook on low for 10 hours, or until fork-tender.
Rest the brisket on a cutting board for 15–20 minutes before slicing or shredding.
Serve warm with extra sauce. Perfect in buns or plated with your favorite sides.

Notes

Use a 6-quart slow cooker for best results.
The brisket can be made a day ahead and reheated with better flavor.
Always slice against the grain for maximum tenderness.
