Description
This Slow Cooker Texas Beef Brisket is a dream come true for any barbecue lover. The rich, smoky flavor comes from a perfect blend of Worcestershire sauce, chili powder, and liquid smoke, which marinate overnight to deeply infuse the beef. After eight hours of low and slow cooking, the brisket becomes incredibly tender and juicy, ideal for slicing or shredding.
Ingredients
3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
2 teaspoons chili powder (ancho chile powder recommended)
2 bay leaves
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon onion salt
1 teaspoon pepper
2 teaspoons liquid smoke
4 pounds beef brisket
1/2 cup beef broth
Instructions
In a large resealable plastic bag, combine Worcestershire sauce, chili powder, bay leaves, garlic, onion salt, pepper, and liquid smoke.
Add the brisket to the bag, seal it, and refrigerate overnight to marinate.
Transfer the brisket to a 5-quart slow cooker.
Add beef broth to the slow cooker.
Cover and cook on low for 8 hours, or until the beef is tender.
Once done, remove the brisket from the slow cooker and discard the bay leaves.
Stir together 1 cup of the beef juices from the slow cooker with barbecue sauce (your favorite kind).
Discard the remaining juices.
Return the brisket to the slow cooker and pour the sauce mixture over the top.
Cover and cook on high for an additional 30 minutes.
Thinly slice the brisket across the grain or shred it. Serve with extra sauce on buns or your preferred sides.
