With your ingredients ready, let’s dive into the cooking process. Follow these simple steps to prepare your slow-cooked BBQ beef brisket:

1. Prep the Brisket

Start by seasoning the brisket generously. You’ll want to rub it with:

• Salt
• Pepper
• Smoked paprika
• Brown sugar

This seasoning adds depth and enhances the natural flavors of the beef.

2. Layer in Slow Cooker

In your slow cooker, layer the bottom with:

• Sliced onions
• Minced garlic

Place the seasoned brisket on top of this aromatic base.

3. Add Liquids

Pour the following over the brisket:

• 1 cup BBQ sauce
• 2 cups beef broth (or vegetable broth)

These liquids will infuse the brisket with flavor and keep it moist during the long cooking process.

4. Cook

Cover the slow cooker and set it to your desired cooking time:

• Cook on low for 8 hours, or
• Cook on high for 4 hours

Your brisket is ready when it’s tender and easily pulled apart with a fork.

5. Slice and Serve

Once cooked, let the brisket rest for a few minutes. This helps retain its juices when you slice it. Serve your brisket with extra BBQ sauce for added flavor.
