Much to my surprise and delight, my family has decided to try and have something different for Christmas. When I asked my brother what to make instead of the traditional ham, he suggested brisket, a cut of meat I'd never cooked before. (I was thinking roast beef, but when you get the ball, you have to run with it.) After reading lots of recipes and boggled by the options, I decided to blend them into this recipe. Made in a Crock Pot, it doesn't get any easier and the results are melt-in-your-mouth tender. Ingredients:
3 -4 lbs beef brisket |
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder |
1/2 teaspoon onion powder |
1/2 teaspoon chili powder |
1/2 teaspoon dry mustard |
1 teaspoon cajun seasoning |
1 teaspoon liquid smoke |
1/2 cup onion, finely minced |
2 garlic cloves, minced |
1 cup chili sauce |
1/4 cup a-1 steak sauce |
2 teaspoons liquid smoke |
1 teaspoon thyme |
2 teaspoons cajun spices |
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper |
1 tablespoon worcestershire sauce |
1/4 teaspoon pepper |
Directions:
1. Mix dry spices together and rub over the lean side of the brisket. Sprinkle liquid smoke over the spices. Tightly wrap the meat in plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight.
2. In the morning place the brisket in the slow cooker fat side to the bottom. Mix all sauce ingredients together and pour over meat. Cook on high for 6 hours. Once cooked, remove the meat to cutting board. to rest before cutting.
3. Take pan juices from the slow cooker and place in a sauce pan. Cook for 10 minutes at a low bubble until reduced by 1/3 to 1/2. Serve sauce with sliced brisket.
