Here you will find a fall apart tender slow cooker BBQ brisket in this recipe. It is quick prep, and you can set it and forget it until dinner is ready. This is a must make way to get that flavorful and tasty brisket you are craving.

Ingredients

    • 4 pounds beef brisket trim excess fat if desired
    • 1 tablespoon avocado oil
    • 1 large onion sliced
  • 1 ½ cups BBQ sauce I used Stubb’s Sticky Sweet BBQ sauce
  • ½ cup beef broth
  • Parsley for garnish (optional)

For the dry rub:

    • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
    • 1 tablespoon smoked paprika
    • ½ tablespoon chili powder
    • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
    • 1 teaspoon onion powder
    • 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

    • In a medium bowl, whisk together the BBQ sauce and beef broth. Set aside.
    • In a small bowl, combine the dry rub ingredients.
    • Pat the brisket dry with paper towels. Then massage the dry rub all over the brisket.
    • Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add oil and then sear the brisket on all sides until browned, about 3-4 minutes each side.
    • Transfer the brisket into the bottom of the slow cooker pot and surround with the sliced onions.
    • Pour the BBQ sauce and broth mixture over the brisket.
    • Cover with the lid. Cook on LOW for 8-10 hours. For a smaller 2 pound brisket, cook for less time on LOW for 6-8 hours.
  • Once cooked, remove the brisket from the slow cooker and transfer to a cutting board. Slice or shred the meat then return it back to the slow cooker and stir into the sauce.
  • Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.

Optional step:

  • Make brisket burgers by adding the brisket into a warm hamburger bun, topping with coleslaw and pickles, and serving with a side of French fries or chips. Enjoy!
