Ingredients
Scale
- 3–4 pounds of brisket
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions
- Creating Slow Cooker Brisket is straightforward when you follow these simple steps:
- Trim excess fat from the brisket, leaving a thin layer for flavor.
- Rub the brisket with olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, and thyme. Ensure it is evenly coated.
- In a skillet over medium-high heat, sear the brisket on all sides until browned. This step adds depth of flavor but can be skipped if you’re short on time.
- Place the sliced onions and minced garlic at the bottom of the slow cooker.
- Place the seasoned brisket on top of the onion and garlic mixture in the slow cooker.
- In a bowl, combine the beef broth and barbecue sauce. Pour the mixture over the brisket.
- Cover the slow cooker and set it to low for 8-10 hours or high for 4-5 hours, until the brisket is tender.
- Once cooked, remove the brisket from the slow cooker and let it rest for 20 minutes before slicing.
- Slice the brisket against the grain for maximum tenderness. Serve with the cooking juices or extra barbecue sauce.
