Ingredients

Brisket Rub

1 ½ tablespoons smoked paprika
1 tablespoon sea salt
1 ½ teaspoon ground pepper
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin
½ teaspoon cayenne
3-4- pound brisket
3 tablespoons vegetable oil

Slow Cooker

1 cup beef broth low sodium
1 cup BBQ sauce
¼ cup honey
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1 ½ tablespoons minced garlic
2 small yellow onion sliced thin

Instructions

Mix your rub by adding all the ingredients into a small bowl, then rub all over the brisket, covering all sides.
In a skillet over medium-high heat, add oil, then sear the brisket for a few minutes on each side.
Meanwhile, lightly spray non-stick spray on the base of a slow cooker. Pour beef broth, BBQ sauce, honey, Worcestershire and garlic, and whisk it together.
Scatter in the sliced onion on the bottom of the slow cooker and carefully transfer the seared brisket on top.
Set the slow cooker on LOW for 6-8 hours. Carefully flipping it around the 4-hour mark if you can; you can baste it with some of the juices as well but not necessary.
Once cooked, leave the slow cooker on warm or leave the lid on and rest for 15 minutes, pull with 2 forks.

Notes

Store leftover Crock Pot brisket in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
Slice the meat against the grain if you choose not to shred it. This will shorten the muscle fibers and make each bite more tender.
Place the brisket in the Crock Pot, fat side up, so it bastes the meat and makes it soft and tender as it cooks.
