SLOWCOOKER TEXAS STYLE BEEF BRISKET

This recipe is from my Taste of home magazine. It uses beef brisket, which is quite inexpensive. This cut of meat, is made tender, by marinating it overnight, before you place it in the slow cooker, then cooked for 7 to 8 hours on low. The brisket is made even more tender, when it simmers in thick, rich barbecue sauce.
YOU WILL NEED:
3 Tbsp. Worcestershire sauce
1 Tbsp. chili powder
2 bay leaves
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 tsp. celery salt
1 tsp. pepper
1 tsp. Liquid Smoke, optional
1 fresh beef brisket (6 lbs.)
1/2 cup beef broth
BARBECUE SAUCE:
1 medium onion, chopped
2 Tbsp. canola or cooking oil
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 cup ketchup
1/2 cup molasses
1/4 cup cider vinegar
2 tsp. chili powder
1/2 tsp. ground mustard
DIRECTIONS:

In a large resealable plastic bag, combine the Worcestershire sauce, chili powder, bay leaves, garlic, celery salt, pepper and liquid smoke if desired. Cut brisket in half; add both to bag. Seal bag and turn to coat. Refrigerate overnight.

 Transfer beef to a 5 to 6 qt. slow cooker; add broth. Cover and cook on low for 6 to 8 hours or until tender.

 For sauce:

In a small saucepan, saute onion in oil until tender. Add garlic; cook 1 minute longer. Stir in the remaining ingredients; heat through.

Remove brisket from the slow cooker; discard bay leaves. Place 1 cup cooking juices in a measuring cup; skim fat. Add to the barbecue sauce. Discard remaining juices.

 Return brisket to the slow cooker; top with sauce mixture. Cover and cook on high for 30 minutes to allow flavors to blend. Thinly slice across the grain; serve with sauce.

Get Off Your Butt and BAKE! - Hi Kate,

Look at Sam’s or Costco. I always have luck at one of those places!

Hopeful - I can’t find a “beef brisket” cut of meat in our stores. I see a thin pot roast type of beef and the butcher steered (ha!) me toward a corned beef brisket – but that’s not what your picture looks like.

Advice? Really sounds and looks delicious!February 1, 2013 – 4:59 am
