Slow Cooker Beef Brisket {with Barbecue Sauce}
This is special but so simple Slow Cooker Beef Brisket is the ultimate dish in flavour, tenderness and goodness.
Servings: 6
Ingredients
- 2 Onions Peeled and finely sliced
- 1.2 kg Beef brisket
For the sauce:
- 4 tbsp Tomato ketchup
- 3 tbsp Runny honey
- 2 tsp Mustard powder
- 3 tbsp Dark brown sugar
- 2 tbsp Cider vinegar Or white wine vinegar
- 3 tbsp Water
Instructions
- Put the onions into the bottom of the slow cooker and sit the brisket on top (if it is rolled with string, leave this on).
- In a bowl, mix the sauce ingredients together. Add the beef to the bowl of spice paste and roll it around so all sides are covered. (It is easiest to do this using clean hands).
- Put the lid on and cook on HIGH for 5-6 hours or LOW for 7-8 until very tender.
- When the meat is cooked and looks like it will pull apart, remove any string, slice thinly and serve with the onions.
- OPTIONAL: Once you've removed the meat from the liquid, you can reduce the sauce to concentrate the flavour if you'd like to. Put the cooking liquid into a small saucepan and put it on the hob over a medium high heat. Let it bubble for 5-10 minutes until it is thickened. Then pour back over the meat as above.
Notes
You can choose to shred the brisket instead of slicing it if you prefer.
Options to take it up a notch:
- Use molasses instead of brown sugar
- Add a 1 tsp of cayenne pepper to add a KICK!
- Add 2 tbsp of Worcestershire sauce at the end of the cooking time
