OK, don’t hate us for bucking tradition – even though this is pretty much kicking tradition in the chin!
The trick to keeping the brisket slice-able is layering the slab o’ beef on top of a layer of onion halves.
Plus the seasoning is simple. Here’s the recipe overview:
Marinate in packaging with one bottle of soy sauce (adding liquid smoke optional). Refrigerate 10-24 hours.- Trim the Flat from The POINT (check out the slow cooker brisket video on this)
- layer bottom of slow cooker with onion halves (and chunks of point)
- coat the brisket with a light layer of celery salt and / or tender quick (optional for the pink “smoke ring”)
- coat the brisket with a heavier layer of kosher salt and black pepper. A large hand full
of each. - Place the brisket flat FAT side down a top onions
- Slow cook 8 hours on lowest setting.
- Remove and let rest 30- 60 minutes before slicing against the grain in pencil thin slices.
- Reserve the onions or serve as a side dish.
The main weakness of the trick is that it is very difficult to get the smoky and desirable bark of a low and slow cook. We suggest ADDING a smoky sauce table side.
