Ingredients
- 2 1/2 - 5 pound beef brisket
- 2 teaspoons brown sugar or sweetener
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1/2 cup broth Any broth: chicken, beef, vegetable.
Instructions
- Season the entire brisket with the spices.
- Place a skillet on medium-high heat on the stove and add the olive oil. Add the brisket to the pan and sear both sides of the meat. Let it sear without moving it for a few minutes until a golden-brown crust forms.
- Add the broth to the bottom of the slow cooker (Mine is 7 quart).
- Add the seasoned brisket.
- Place the lid on the pot and slow cook. It typically takes around 8 to 10 hours on low heat or 4 to 6 hours on high heat. The exact cooking time can vary depending on the size of the brisket and the specific model of your slow cooker.
- Allow the meat to rest for 15-20 minutes before slicing.
