Servings 8
Calories 412kcal
Ingredients
- 4 pounds beef brisket flat cut or point cut
- 1 large onion sliced
- 1 cup beef broth
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- ½ cup barbecue sauce
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
Instructions
- Pat the brisket dry on all sides with paper towels so it sears properly.
- Heat oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Sear the brisket for a few minutes per side until the surface turns deep golden brown. Use tongs to turn the meat.
- Place the sliced onion in the bottom of the slow cooker. Set the seared brisket on top with the fat side facing up.
- Whisk beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, spices, and barbecue sauce in a bowl until smooth. Pour the mixture evenly over the brisket.
- Cover and cook on low until the brisket is fork tender or cook on high for a faster option. The meat should pull apart easily with two forks.
- Transfer the brisket to a cutting board and rest it for about ten minutes. Slice against the grain or shred with two forks.
- Return the meat to the slow cooker and stir gently so it absorbs the cooking juices and softened onions. Taste and adjust seasoning before serving.
