This tender crockpot beef brisket is super eaay, but is so tender, juicy, and delicious. It does take 8 hours on HIGH to cook so make sure you plan ahead to give it enough time. This is a great week night or make ahead recipe, it also tastes just as great on the second day. You can make it a regular juicy and tender brisket, or add BBQ sauce to make it a BBQ brisket. I served this brisket with mashed potatoes and it was great with the brisket broth poured all over the mashed potatoes as gravy. I bought the brisket at Costco where it was not only super fresh but also much cheaper then other grocery stores. So here is another easy, fast, hearty, comfort food, crockpot recipe for you!
Tender Crockpot Beef Brisket {Serves 8-10}
Ingredients:
- Beef Brisket (mine was 3.75 LB)
- 2-3 TBS Mayonnaise
- 1 tsp Salt
- 1/4 tsp Pepper
- 1/2 tsp Onion Salt
- 1/2 tsp Italian Seasoning
- 1 tsp Mrs.Dash (or any salt-free seasoning)
- 1 tsp Steak Seasoning
- 2-3 Garlic Cloves (minced)
Directions:
1) Wash the beef brisket thoroughly and pat completely dry with a paper towel. Put the brisket in a big bowl and season it with all the seasonings (salt, pepper, onion salt, Italian seasoning, Mrs.Dash, steak seasoning). Smother the seasoning all around both sides of the brisket. Add 2-3 TBS Mayonnaise and the garlic and smother it all around both sides of the brisket. (If you are making BBQ brisket, also add 2-3 TBS BBQ sauce to the brisket and smother on both sides.)
2) Place brisket into a crockpot and cook on HIGH for 8 hours, flipping the brisket every 2 hours if possible, or at least once halfway through cook time. (If making BBQ brisket, make sure to add 3-4 TBS BBQ sauce in the last hour of cooking and smother it all around the brisket.)
3) After 8 hours, the brisket should be fall off the fork tender, and very juicy. The broth inside the crockpot can be used as gravy for rice or mashed potatoes. We loved it with mashed potatoes!
I came up with this recipe last weekend when we had a “snow day” it was mostly icy rain and barely enough snow to cover the ground but we live in the South so it was a big deal and not a day you want to drive around for groceries or out to eat, so the night before we bought all the ingredients for this super easy, but very delicious crockpot beef stew. I couldn’t find a recipe that I wanted so I threw together a bunch of stuff and it turned out absolutely perfect!!! It was literally the best beef stew that I’ve ever tried. It’s interesting how the spontaneous recipes usually turn out to be the best ones. I shared a quick video of the beef stew on social media when it was done cooking and teased many people who reached our asking for the recipe. So of course, here is the promised recipe that I hope you will love just as much as we did! Just make sure that you prepare it in advance to give it 7 to 8 hours on HIGH in the crock pot to cook until the veggies and meat are tender and juicy. I did the prep work in the morning and it was ready in time for dinner.
