Slow Cooker Brisket
- 4 pounds Beef Brisket
- 2 Tablespoons Liquid Smoke (I Have Used Both The Hickory And Mesquite Flavors, They Are Both Yummy)
- 1 Tablespoon Black Pepper
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Minced Garlic From A Jar (1 Teaspoon Is About 2 Cloves)
- Place your meat onto a large cutting board.
- Put 1/2 tablespoon black pepper, 1/2 tablespoon sea salt, and 1/2 teaspoon jarred garlic on one side of the brisket.
- Rub the ingredients into the meat.
- Repeat on the other side.
- Flip the meat over again, and sprinkle with 1 tablespoon of the liquid smoke.
- Repeat on the other side.
- Cut 2 pieces of foil that are 3 feet long each.
- Arrange them like a plus sign (+).
- Place the seasoned meat where the two pieces of foil meet; this should be in the middle.
- Wrap the meat tightly in the foil.
- You may need a little extra foil to make sure that everything is concealed.
- Place the wrapped brisket in the fridge overnight.
- In the morning, place your prepared, wrapped meat into your slow cooker.
- Cook the brisket on the low setting for 10 hours.
- Towards the end of the cooking time, some of the juices will begin to leak out of the foil, that is OK.
- When the brisket is done, remove the wrapped meat from your slow cooker and place it onto a large cutting board.
- Let the meat rest (just leave it alone, dont unwrap it or anything) for 10-15 minutes.
- After the brisket has rested, carefully (its hot, and full of steam) unwrap the meat.
- I found it easiest to trim off the fat while the brisket was still hot.
- However, you could do it before you cook it if you would like to.
- But trust me, I tried to trim it off beforehand, and it is not easy.
- The meat should be so tender that you can easily pull it apart with a large serving fork.
- Shred the brisket and serve on a large hamburger bun slathered with warmed up barbecue sauce (my favorite is Stubbs).
- To compliment this delicious brisket sandwich, serve golden brown onion rings, or crispy French fries
