INGREDIENTS:

3-4 lbs (1.4-1.8 kg) beef brisket

1 tsp salt

1/2 tsp black pepper

1 tbsp smoked paprika

1 tsp garlic powder

1 tsp onion powder

1 tbsp olive oil

1 cup (240ml) beef broth

1/2 cup (120ml) barbecue sauce

1/4 cup (60ml) Worcestershire sauce

2 tbsp brown sugar

1 tbsp Dijon mustard

1 large onion, sliced

3 garlic cloves, minced

DIRECTIONS:

Season the Brisket:

Combine the salt, pepper, smoked paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder in a small bowl. Rub this mixture all over the brisket.

Sear the Brisket (Optional but Recommended):

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the brisket on both sides until browned, about 3-4 minutes per side.

Prepare the Crockpot:

Place the sliced onions and minced garlic at the bottom of the crockpot.

Mix the Sauce:

In a bowl, whisk together the beef broth, barbecue sauce, Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar, and Dijon mustard. Pour the mixture over the onions in the crockpot.

Cook the Brisket:

Place the brisket on top of the onions and sauce. Cover and cook on low for 8-10 hours or high for 4-5 hours, until the brisket is tender and easily pulls apart with a fork.

Rest and Serve:

Remove the brisket from the crockpot and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing against the grain. Serve with the sauce from the crockpot spooned over the top.
