Equipment

  • Slow Cooker

Ingredients

Instructions

  • Press a small amount of the rub into the bottom of the brisket and place in slow cooker
  • Carefully pour beer around bottom of brisket
  • Press remaining rub into top of brisket
  • Cover and cook on low for 8-9 hours or high for 4-5 hours

Notes

  • Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
  • If there is a lot of extra fat, you can trim it before cooking. It is also fine to leave some fat during cooking for added flavor. Trim it before serving if you wish.
  • This recipe allows for the brisket to cook on either low or high, but you will achieve the best results for tenderness and flavor on low.
  • Optional - Strain the slow cooker pan drippings into a saucepan. Add a cornstarch slurry (equal parts water and cornstarch) and whisk until thickened. Glaze slices of brisket with the gravy!
  • To cook in the Instant Pot, add ingredients as instructed and cook for 60 minutes on high pressure. Allow a natural pressure release and let the brisket rest for a few moments before slicing.
  • I made this recipe in my 4-quart multi-cooker on low for 8 hours.
