This Slow Cooker Beef Brisket recipe guarantees a tender, flavorful meal with minimal effort. Perfect for any occasion, it's a set-it-and-forget-it dish that will impress your guests or provide a comforting meal for your family. The brisket is marinated overnight, then slow-cooked to perfection, creating a melt-in-your-mouth texture that's irresistible.
Marinate the Brisket: Combine salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and oregano in a bowl. Rub the mixture all over the brisket. Place in a resealable bag with minced garlic and sliced onion. Mix beef broth, soy sauce, and ketchup; pour over the brisket. Marinate overnight.
Cook: Place the brisket and marinade in a slow cooker. Cook on low for 8-10 hours until tender.
Thicken the Sauce: Mix arrowroot powder with cold water to form a slurry. Pour into the cooking liquid, stirring until thickened.
Serve: Let the brisket rest for 20 minutes before slicing against the grain. Serve with the sauce.
Notes
Marinating Time: For the best flavor, marinate the brisket overnight in the refrigerator.
Cooking on High: If short on time, you can cook the brisket on high for 4-5 hours, but the meat may not be as tender.
Serving Suggestions: Pair with roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or your favorite side dishes.
Storing Leftovers: Keep in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3-4 days. Reheat gently with a bit of broth to keep the brisket moist.
