1-Let’s dive into making this slow cooker beef brisket; it’s easier than you think and so rewarding! Start by mixing all the rub ingredients together and rubbing them evenly over the brisket. Pop it in the fridge for at least 30 minutes, or up to 24 hours, to let those flavors sink in. For more ideas on seasoning meat, check out our beef seasoning guide on the blog.

2-Next, combine all the BBQ sauce ingredients in your slow cooker and stir them well. Add the brisket, pressing it down so it fits nicely. Set your slow cooker to low and let it cook for 8 to 10 hours, depending on the size of your brisket – it’ll come out super tender!

3-Once done, take the brisket out and place it on a tray. Pour the liquid from the slow cooker into a saucepan and simmer it over medium-high heat until it thickens into a syrupy sauce. Brush the brisket with oil and roast it in a 200°C oven for 15 minutes until you see those nice brown spots. Baste it with the BBQ sauce, pop it back in for 5 minutes, and repeat once or twice more for that caramelized finish. Finally, slice it thin and serve it up with extra sauce – it’s great with sides or as sliders.
