Instructions
Season the brisket generously on all sides with your favorite BBQ rub, salt, pepper, and paprika.
Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the brisket for 2–3 minutes per side until nicely browned.
Transfer the brisket to a slow cooker. Add the beef broth, garlic, onion, Worcestershire sauce, BBQ sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, and liquid smoke. Cover and cook on Low for 8–10 hours, or until the brisket is fork-tender.
Carefully transfer the brisket to a baking sheet. Brush with an additional layer of BBQ sauce.
Broil for 5 minutes, then flip, brush with more BBQ sauce, and broil for another 5 minutes, or until the sauce is bubbling and lightly caramelized.
Let the brisket rest for 10–15 minutes before slicing or shredding. Serve with your favorite sides and enjoy!
