Ingredients

  • (3.5 lbs) Brisket Roast
  • (1 tbsp) olive oil
  • (1 tbsp) brown sugar
  • (2 tsp) paprika
  • (1 tsp) onion powder
  • (1 tsp) garlic powder
  • (1/2 tsp) cumin
  • (3/4 tsp) mustard powder
  • (1 tsp) salt
  • (1/2 tsp) black pepper
  • (2) garlic cloves
  • (1/2 cup) apple cider vinegar
  • (15 oz) tomato sauce
  • (1/2 cup) brown sugar
  • (2 tsp) black pepper
  • (2 tsp) onion powder
  • (1 tsp) mustard powder
  • (1 tsp) cayenne pepper
  • (1 tbsp) Worcestershire sauce

Directions

  1. Place rub in a bowl and mix to combine.
  2. Rub all over brisket. Leave rub on for 30 minutes - 24 hours in a fridge, if time allows, though not necessary.
  3. Combine BBQ sauce ingredients (garlic cloves, apple cider vinegar, tomato sauce, brown sugar, black pepper, onion powder, mustard powder, cayenne pepper, Worcestershire sauce) in a slow cooker. Mix ingredients, then add brisket.
  4. Slow cook for 8-10 hours, depending on your roast size (3 lbs ~ 8 hours, 4 lbs ~ 10 hours).
  5. Remove brisket and set on tray.
  6. Pour remaining liquid from the slow cooker into a saucepan and bring to a simmer over medium-high heat until sauce reduces to a syrup like consistency. **Note that the sauce will continue to thicken as it cools.
  7. Drizzle brisket with oil and roast in a 390 degree oven for 15 minutes until brown spots appear. Remove, then baste generously with sauce.
  8. Return to oven for another 5 minutes.
  9. Baste again and return to oven for another 5-10 minutes until sauce has caramelized over brisket.
  10. To serve, slice against the grain and pair with remaining BBQ sauce.
