Slow Cooker Brisket Recipe I have been giddily waiting to share this slow cooker bbq brisket recipe with you because it is Christmas worthy!
As Patrick and I stood around devouring this meat the second after I finished photographing, effusive oohs and ahhs was all that could be uttered until we couldn’t stuff our faces any more. So if you have never made beef brisket or never made slow cooker beef brisket, prepare for your mind to be blown with this easy method for crazy tender, juicy beef brisket every single time. Trust me, the best way to cook brisket is the slow cooker! Beef brisket boasts the richest natural flavor of any cut of meat and is my choice meat whenever I dine at any barbecue restaurant.
The flavor comes in part from the extra long cooking time required to break down the fibers of the meat as brisket comes from the front breastbone of the cow so there is a lot of connective tissue and muscle that supports much of the weight of the cow. This means brisket holds its shape so you can either slice it OR shred it, unlike chuck roast and short ribs that shred easily when cooked for a long period of time. Why this is important is that you don’t have to worry too much about overcooking your beef brisket because it will hold together to the point of being shreddable. When I cooked this beef brisket, it was sooooo tender but I was still able to slice it AND I was still able to easily shred it as well. This also means beef brisket is ideal for slow cooking and ideal for stress free entertaining. Beef brisket: Trim the beef of any excess fat, rinse, and pat dry before using. Beef bouillon: Adds a wonderful depth of flavor to the bbq brisket.
