Servings: 8
Equipment
Ingredients
- 4 lb Beef Brisket. -- or as desired
- 3 cups Wood Chips. --The amount you will need depends on the size of your slow cooker.
- 1 tablespoon Kosher salt
- 2 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 2 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon oregano
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon cumin
- ½ teaspoon chili flakes.
Instructions
- Prepare. If you have not done so, prepare your brisket by removing any strings and large pieces of fat. Then use a paper towel to blot off any excess moisture.
- Make the rub. In a small bowl, use a whisk to combined together the seasonings.
- Rub and Refrigerate. Use your hands to apply the rub into your meat. If necessary, you can wear food grade gloves to do so. Then wrap the brisket in plastic wrap and refrigerate it for at least a half hour to overnight so that the rub can set in.
- Prepare the wood chips. To prepare the wood chips, place them in a larger bowl and cover them with water. Let the chips soak in the water for 30 minutes and then strain the water from the chips. Wrap the strained chips in a parchment paper envelope and set the envelope, with the seam side down, in the bottom of the slow cooker. Use a toothpick to randomly poke holes into the parchment paper to allow the steam to escape while slow cooking.
- Slow cook the beef. Remove the plastic wrap from your beef and then place the beef on top of the parchment paper wrapped wood chips. Place the lid on your slow cooker and slow cook on low for for 8-10 hours without removing the lid (we want the flavored steam to go into the brisket and not escape).
- Serve. When your brisket is done slow cooking, carefully transfer it to a serving platter or cutting board to set for about 15 minutes. You can also discard the wood chip envelope when it is cool enough to touch. Slice the brisket and spoon the drippings from the bottom of the slow cooker over the brisket as desired for more moisture.
