Pro tip: add our Townie Irish Ale and Adeline Stout or Swear Jar Milk Porter to your grocery list before you start cooking. Both recipes call for some BHZ beer. You can order online and we deliver!
SLOW COOKER BRISKET
When using a slow cooker, there’s a chance meat may be too one-dimensional in flavor and texture. To get great flavor and texture, generously season the meat, and then sear it in a skillet (preferably cast iron). This gives the brisket a seasoned crust.
Ingredients
4-5lb beef brisket, trimmed
Previte’s Roast Beef Rub (or your favorite seasoning rub)
2 Tbsp. canola oil
½ large yellow onion, cut into 2” pieces
2 carrots, cut into 2” pieces
1 rib celery, cut into 2” pieces
1 cup beef broth
1 cup Townie Irish Ale
Procedure
1. Heat a large skillet (preferably cast iron) over medium-high heat until smoking
2. While skillet is heating, generously season the brisket with the dry rub
3. Add canola oil to the skillet, and sear the brisket until dark-golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side
4. Place brisket in a slow cooker. Add vegetables, broth and beer
5. Cover slow cooker and cook the brisket on low heat for 8 hours, or until fork tender
