BBQ Slow Cooker Brisket

Beef Brisket Sandwich

Beef brisket is a cut from the chest section of the animal. It is usually sold boneless. Brisket is a tough cut of meat making it is best when braised (meaning simmered in a small amount of liquid), either in the oven, the slow cooker, or on the stove top.

Untrimmed beef brisket is one of the least expensive cuts of beef you can buy. When cooked low and slow, it loses about half its weight in meat, but few things are better than barbecue beef brisket.
