Ingredients
Scale
Meat:
- 3 pounds (1.36 kilograms) beef brisket
Sauce Ingredients:
- 1 cup BBQ sauce
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
Aromatics and Seasonings:
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste
Instructions
- Create a tangy BBQ sauce by whisking together brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, minced garlic, salt, and pepper in a mixing bowl.
- Gently place the beef brisket into the slow cooker, generously coating it with the prepared sauce mixture, ensuring complete coverage.
- Set the slow cooker to low temperature and allow the brisket to cook for 8-10 hours, creating a tender, melt-in-your-mouth texture.
- Once cooking is complete, carefully transfer the brisket to a cutting board and let it rest for 10 minutes to redistribute internal juices.
- Using a sharp knife, slice the brisket against the grain to maximize tenderness and create ideal serving portions.
- Drizzle additional BBQ sauce over the sliced brisket or serve it on the side for guests to customize their meal.
Notes
- Enhance tenderness by choosing a well-marbled brisket with good fat content for maximum flavor and juiciness.
- Trim excess fat to about 1/4 inch thick before cooking to prevent greasy texture while maintaining moisture.
- Customize BBQ sauce by experimenting with different brands or making homemade sauce for a personalized flavor profile.
- Store leftover brisket in airtight containers and reheat gently to maintain its succulent texture and prevent drying out.
