Tender Beef Slow Cooked (Print Version)
# Ingredients:
→ Protein
01 -
A brisket of beef (1 whole)
→ Spice Blend
02 -
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
03 -
1/4 teaspoon powder made from onion
04 -
1 teaspoon chili seasoning
05 -
1/2 teaspoon powdered garlic
06 -
1/4 teaspoon celery seasoning
07 -
1 teaspoon of table salt
→ Tangy Glaze
08 -
1/2 cup of bottled chili sauce
09 -
Half a cup of basic ketchup
10 -
A packed eighth of a cup of brown sugar
11 -
2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar
12 -
2 tablespoons of Worcestershire sauce
13 -
Anywhere from 1 to 1.5 teaspoons of Liquid Smoke (leave it out if you want)
14 -
1/2 teaspoon mustard powder
15 -
A splash of A1 steak sauce
# Instructions:
01 -
Take a small bowl and mix together the spice rub ingredients. Rub the blend all over the brisket so it's fully covered.
02 -
Put the brisket with the spices on it into a 3-quart slow cooker. Let it sit for a bit—at least an hour. For deeper flavor, cover and leave it in the fridge overnight.
03 -
In another large bowl, stir together every ingredient listed for the sauce. Pour part of this mix onto the brisket while saving the rest for when you serve.
04 -
Put the lid on your slow cooker. Cook on low heat for up to 8 hours or high heat for around 4 to 5 hours until the brisket turns super soft and easy to pull apart.
05 -
To make slices, cut against the grain (this keeps it tender). Serve with the extra sauce you kept aside earlier on.
# Notes:
01 -
For richer flavors, rub the brisket with the spices a day before and let it stay in the fridge overnight.
