Ingredients

• 4 pounds Beef brisket
• 3 tablespoons Brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons Paprika
• 1 tablespoon Garlic powder
• 1 tablespoon Onion powder
• 1 tablespoon Chili powder
• 2 teaspoons Ground black pepper
• 2 teaspoons Kosher salt
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon Dried mustard powder
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 cup Beef broth
• 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
• 1 cup Barbecue sauce

Directions

Step 1

Trim the beef brisket of excess fat, leaving about 1/4 inch of fat for flavor and moisture.

Step 2

Prepare the dry rub by mixing brown sugar, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder, black pepper, kosher salt, ground cumin, and mustard powder in a small bowl.

Step 3

Pat the dry rub generously all over the brisket, making sure to coat it evenly on all sides.

Step 4

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the brisket for 3-4 minutes on each side to develop a nice crust.

Step 5

Transfer the seared brisket to a slow cooker.

Step 6

In a separate bowl, mix beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, and 1/4 cup of barbecue sauce. Pour the mixture over the brisket in the slow cooker.

Step 7

Cover and cook on low for 10 hours, or until the brisket is tender and easily pulls apart with a fork.

Step 8

Once cooked, carefully remove the brisket from the slow cooker and let it rest on a cutting board for 15-20 minutes.

Step 9

While the brisket rests, skim excess fat from the juices in the slow cooker. Mix in the remaining barbecue sauce with the juices to create a flavorful sauce.

Step 10

Slice the brisket against the grain into thin slices and serve with the sauce on the side.
