Servings: 8
Ingredients
- 2 ½ – 3 pounds Prime Brisket trimmed
- 1, 15- ounce can tomato sauce
- 12 ounce lager I used Guiness
- ½ C red apple cider vinegar
- ½ C light brown sugar
- ¼ yellow mustard
- 1 T Worcestershire sauce
- 1 bay leaf
- ½ large onion sliced
- 1 bell pepper cut into strips
- 1 poblano cut into strips
- 5 cloves of garlic smashed
- Kosher salt and ground black pepper
- Pretzel slider buns to serve or your favorite
Instructions
- Note: The veggies are just used to flavor your BBQ sauce. They don’t have to be expertly cut.
- I use a 10-quart slow cooker for all my recipes.
- Season your brisket liberally with kosher salt and ground black pepper. The meat can really take a lot of seasoning.
- My slow cooker can go onto the stove top (you can skip this step all together or use a skillet). I first heat a ¼ C of avocado oil over medium high heat in the slow cooker (on my stovetop). Once the oil is hot and shimmering, add your brisket and brown on both sides. This will take approximately 3-4 minutes per side. I just like the charred flavor on the brisket.
- Once the brisket is browned, remove to a plate. Now add your beer and garlic cloves and let this reduce for 2 minutes. Take the slow cooker off the stove and place in its base. Now, add the rest of your ingredients: tomato sauce, vinegar, brown sugar, mustard Worcestershire sauce, bay leaf, onion, bell pepper, poblano pepper. Give this all a stir. Add your brisket back in and spoon a bit of the sauce over the top. Let this cook for 8-10 hours on low or 4-5 hours on high. Enjoy!
- *This is so good and the leftovers are even better! I served mine on pretzel slider buns and topped with homemade coleslaw. You can use leftovers for tacos, quesadillas or just serve on top of a salad!
