# Instructions:
01 -
Grab a small bowl and toss all the spice blend ingredients together. Rub that mixture all over the beef brisket, covering it evenly.
02 -
Set the brisket with its rub into a 3-quart slow cooker. Let it sit for an hour before cooking. If you’ve got time, refrigerate it overnight for deeper flavor.
03 -
Take a large bowl and stir all sauce ingredients together until smooth. Save half for later and pour the rest over the brisket in the slow cooker.
04 -
Put the lid on the slow cooker. Cook on high for 4-5 hours, or choose low for 8 hours. The beef should break apart easily when it’s done.
05 -
Cut the brisket into slices against the grain for the best texture. Add the extra sauce on the side as a dip.
# Notes:
01 -
To really lock in the flavors, rub the brisket with spices the night before you plan to cook it, and let it chill in the fridge.
