Easy crock pot beef brisket recipe with a simple salt and pepper rub. Slow cooked in the crock pot until moist and tender then placed under the oven broiler for a beautiful smoker-like bark. I also show you how to get a smoke ring without having to actually smoke it in a smoker.

Shopping List:
3-4 lbs. beef brisket flat
2 tbs. Kosher salt (about 1 tbls per side)
2 tbs. Course black pepper (about 1 tbls. per side)
3-4 tbls. Morton’s Tender Quick (refer to pkg. directions)

Directions:
CROCK POT TIP: RESIST TAKING OFF THE LID ESPECIALLY DURING THE FIRST TWO HOURS OF COOKING. EVERY TIME YOU TAKE THE LID OFF YOU ETEND THE COOKING TIME BY 15-20 MINUTES.
Trim the brisket of any excess fat.
Sprinkle the meat side of the brisket with the Tender Quick, about 1 tbls per lb of meat. It should look like a light dusting of snow. (Refer to pkg. directions and adjust as necessary). Then rub it in well.
Lightly cover it in plastic wrap or place it in a zip-lock bag and place it in the fridge for 4 hours afterwhich rinse the brisket under cool water to get the residual Tender Quick off. Pat the brisket dry. DO NOT GO BEYOND 8 HOURS AS THE NITRATES IN THE TENDER QUICK WILL OVER CURE THE MEAT.
NOTE: If you don’t care a having a smoke ring then leave out the Tender Quick step.
Pre-heat the crock pot on low for 30 minutes.
Generously rub in the salt and pepper to both sides of the brisket. Keep in mind this is a thick piece of meat so don’t worry too much about over salting.
Tip: Sometimes it can difficult to locate the grain after cooking because of the dark bark. To serve as a slicing guide, locate the grain on the uncooked brisket then cut off a small piece on the corner against that grain so you’ll know which way to slice after cooking. Another method is to take a picture of the uncooked brisket and use that as the reference after cooking.
Place the brisket fat side down in the crockpot and cook on low for 6-7 hours, depending on your crockpot. Cook to an internal temperature is 185-200 using with a meat thermometer. Mine read 195 when I took it out after 7 hours.
Remove the brisket from the crock pot and place fat side down on a baking pan. Place under the oven broiler for 3-5 minutes until it attains a dark course bark.
Wrap the brisket tightly in foil and wrap it in a heavy towel. Place it in an insulated container such as a cooler for about an hour.
Unwrap, slice against the grain and serve.
Enjoy!
