Slow Cooked Carolina Beef Brisket Recipe 455

SLOW-COOKED BRISKET WITH CAROLINA BBQ SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F.
• For the brisket: Add the olive oil to a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Sprinkle the brisket with Miss Brown's House Seasoning. Sear the brisket fat-side down until a deep golden crust forms, 5 to 7 minutes. Flip and sear other side until deep golden brown, another 5 minutes. Remove to a sheet tray.
• Add the onions and bay leaves and season with salt and pepper. Stir until coated in fat. Add the beer and bring to a boil. Put the brisket on top of the onions, cover and place in the oven for 3 hours.
• For the BBQ sauce: While the brisket cooks, add the vinegar, brown sugar, brown mustard, whole-grain mustard, yellow mustard, onion, garlic, bourbon and cayenne to a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil and cook until the onion becomes slightly translucent, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat, add to a blender (or use an immersion blender) and puree until smooth, being careful of hot steam. Pour back into the pan and simmer over medium-low until slightly thickened and reduced by 1/4, about 30 minutes.
• At the 3-hour mark, pour 1 cup of the BBQ sauce over the brisket, return to the oven and cook until the sauce has melted into the brisket, 30 minutes more. Use a knife to test the tenderness of the brisket. It should pierce the brisket very smoothly, with no pushback.
• Remove the brisket from the pot and slice against the grain. Discard the bay leaves. Serve with sliced white bread and all those slow-braised beer onions. Don't forget about the extra BBQ sauce for dipping. Store any extra sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
• Stir together the onion powder, paprika, garlic powder, salt and pepper in a medium bowl. Keep in an airtight container. Makes 5 teaspoons.

SLOW COOKED CAROLINA BEEF BRISKET RECIPE - (4.5/5)

SLOW COOKER BEEF BRISKET

Steps:

• Mix brown sugar, chili powder, paprika, salt, pepper, mustard powder, onion powder, and garlic powder for dry rub together in a small bowl.
• Mix beef broth, liquid smoke, and Worcestershire sauce for cooking liquid in a separate bowl.
• Place onions and carrots in a slow cooker. Pour cooking liquid over top and set to temperature High to let it warm up.
• Meanwhile, rinse brisket under cold water. Pat it dry, then season all over with the dry rub. Place brisket in the slow cooker on top of the onions and carrots, with the fatty side facing up. The cooking liquid should reach just to the bottom of the brisket; if not, add a little water.
• Cover and cook on Low for 8 hours. Turn the slow cooker off and transfer brisket to a foil-lined sheet pan. Trim some of the fat if desired.
• Place barbecue sauce in a bowl. Ladle 1/4 cup hot cooking liquid from the slow cooker into the bowl and mix it with the barbecue sauce. Baste the fatty side of the brisket with this mixture.
• Preheat the oven's broiler.
• Place the brisket in the preheated oven so there are 6 inches between the top of the brisket and the burner. Broil until the fatty edges start to crisp up, 2 to 4 minutes; watch closely so it doesn't burn.
• Remove from the oven and let rest for 10 minutes. Slice brisket thinly and against the grain.
• Remove vegetables from the slow cooker with a slotted spoon, and serve alongside the brisket.
