Slow Cooker Beef Brisket

Life is but a Dish

Ingredients
3 1/2 pound beef brisket (not corned beef)
1 tablespoon salt
1 teaspoon pepper
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon oregano
4 garlic cloves (minced)
1 onion (sliced)
2 cups beef broth
3 tablespoons soy sauce
1/4 cup ketchup

Instructions
In a small bowl mix together the salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and oregano. Rub the spice mixture all over the brisket on both sides, then place the brisket in a slow cooker, fat side up. Sprinkle the minced garlic over the brisket and top with the sliced onions, on and around it.

In a medium bowl whisk together the broth, soy sauce, and ketchup. Pour into slow cooker until the brisket is just covered.

Cook on LOW for 8 hours. Once done cooking, either keep in the slow cooker on WARM, or transfer to a wood board and cover with foil and let rest for 20 minutes. Meanwhile, pour the liquid from the slow cooker into a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for about 20 minutes.

Slice the meat against the grain and serve with sauce on top.

Notes
If you plan to make this in the oven, use a baking dish covered tightly with foil or in a Dutch oven, covered with a lid. Cook at 325°F for 3 to 4 hours or until very tender.
