Ingredients
- 3–4 lb beef brisket
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon coarse kosher salt
- 2 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 teaspoons smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 2 cups BBQ sauce (reserve 1/2 cup for finishing)
Instructions
- In a small bowl, mix brown sugar, kosher salt, black pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, smoked paprika, and coriander.
- Trim excess fat from the brisket. Rub the spice mixture evenly over all sides.
- Place brisket in a 6-quart slow cooker and pour 1 1/2 cups BBQ sauce over the top.
- Cover and cook on LOW for 7–8 hours, until brisket is fork-tender.
- Carefully transfer brisket to a foil-lined baking sheet. Brush with the reserved 1/2 cup BBQ sauce.
- Broil 3–5 minutes until the glaze is bubbling and caramelized.
- Rest 10 minutes, then slice thinly against the grain. Serve with extra sauce if desired.
Notes
- For cleaner slices, chill the cooked brisket 30 minutes before slicing, then rewarm with juices.
- If your BBQ sauce is very sweet, reduce the brown sugar to 1–2 teaspoons.
- Add sliced onions to the slow cooker for extra flavor and pan juices.
- Leftovers are great in sandwiches, tacos, or over mashed potatoes.
