  • 1 tablespoon smoked paprika
  • 2 teaspoons mustard powder
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon rubbed sage
  • 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 tablespoon canola oil
  • 12 ounces oatmeal stout (or favorite craft beer)
  • 2 tablespoons flour or cornstarch (for later)

  • Add canola oil and add brisket
  • Sear for several minutes on each side until lightly golden brown (about 5-7 minutes)
  • Carefully deglaze pan with beer, adding slowly (be very careful with alcohol if cooking on open flame)
  • Transfer to slow cooker and cover and cook on low for about 8 hours
  • Remove from slow cooker and let rest for 10 minutes before slices
  • Transfer cooking liquid to saucepan
  • Make a slurry by adding 2 tablespoons of water to 2 tablespoons cornstarch or flour and whisking until smooth

Notes

I cooked this on low for 8 hours in my 4 quart multi-cooker.
