Ingredients
- 2 Tbsp Brown sugar
- 1 Tbsp Smoked paprika
- 2 tsp Garlic powder
- 2 tsp Onion powder
- 1 Tbsp Steak and burger seasoning
- 1 tsp Cajun seasoning
- 1 tsp Salt
- 1 tsp Black pepper
- 1 Flat cut beef brisket 4-5 pounds
- ¼ Cup Yellow mustard
- 2 Large onions sliced
- 1 Cup Low sodium beef broth
- 1 Cup Beer I used a stout beer but use whatever you prefer
- 1 tsp Liquid smoke
Instructions
- Mix the brown sugar, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, steak and burger seasoning, Cajun seasoning, salt, and pepper in a small bowl.
- Pat the brisket dry, brush with the yellow mustard, and coat with the seasoning mixture.
- Turn the brisket over and repeat to coat all sides.
- Place the seasoned brisket on a tray, cover, and refrigerate overnight.
- Add the onions, beef broth, beer, and liquid smoke to the slow cooker, then place the brisket on top.
- Cover and cook on low, turning every 2-3 hours, for 8-12 hours until the brisket is fork-tender but still sliceable.
- Remove the brisket from the slow cooker, let it rest for 15 minutes, then slice against the grain.
- Or, place it on a baking pan with aluminum foil, brush with bbq sauce and put it under the broiler on high for 5-6 minutes or until caramelized and dark.
- Or simply broil the brisket without bbq sauce, under the broiler for 6-8 minutes, until crispy on the edges and charred to your liking.
- Serve with more bbq sauce or mashed potatoes and gravy with minced parsley for garnish if desired.
