Ingredients
- 1 1/2 tablespoons kosher salt
- 1/2 tablespoon freshly ground black pepper
- 2 teaspoons smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon granulated garlic
- 1 teaspoon dry mustard powder
- 5 pounds brisket, fat cap trimmed
- One 6-ounce can tomato paste
- 1/4 cup packed dark brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon liquid smoke
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon granulated garlic
- 1/4 teaspoon dry mustard powder
- Serving suggestion: white bread or rolls
Instructions
- For the brisket: Combine the salt, pepper, paprika, cayenne, cumin, granulated garlic and dry mustard in a small bowl. Sprinkle the brisket on all sides with the spice rub. Place the brisket into a slow cooker and cover with the lid. Set the slow cooker to high and cook until tender, about 6 hours.
- Remove the brisket from the slow cooker and set aside until cool enough to handle. Pour the liquid from the slow cooker into a fat separator. Discard the fat.
- For the BBQ sauce: Pour the cooking liquid into a stockpot and place over medium heat. Stir in the tomato paste, brown sugar, vinegar, salt, liquid smoke, cayenne, granulated garlic and dry mustard. Bring to a simmer, then reduce the heat to medium-low. Simmer, stirring occasionally, until thickened, at least 20 minutes.
- Slice the brisket into 1-inch chunks. Remove and discard any large pieces of fat. Spread the brisket in a 9-by-13-inch pan and pour the sauce over the meat.
- Turn the broiler on high. Broil until crispy and slightly charred on the edges, about 5 minutes. Serve warm with white bread or rolls.

Yes , yes and yes! Love this recipe. Easy and tasty a new favorite in our house. Thank you!
Just Yummy.
This is AWESOME! Double the sauce. You’ll be happy you did. 🙂 Made this with Egg and bacon potato salad also on this site. Such a good meal!
Made this last night very easy and delicious made a great sandwich for lunch the next day! Thanks Trisha love your show and your recipes!
Fabulous!!!! I love brisket and this was one of the best and most tender I’ve ever had. Super simple!!! Because I can’t have sugar, I used a golden sweetener and added 1 T molasses.
I made this yesterday and didn’t have a chance to make the BBQ sauce! My family loved it and ate it straight from the slow cooker. I’ve tried several brisket recipes lately. I’m keeping this one at the top of the list! We all loved the rub. The only thing I added was about a half a cup of apple cider (I was afraid of the trimmed brisket sticking).
Excellent, tender…sauce was great. Trisha does a great job & is very easy to watch love her humor. Will make this again!
