Equipment
- Slow Cooker This Cuisinart Slow Cooker / Multi-Cooker is on of my favorite appliances!
Ingredients
- 3 lb. beef brisket chuck roast or flank steak, trimmed of excess fat
- 1 large yellow onion sliced into large strips
- 1 (15 oz. can) beef broth
Shredded beef seasoning:
- 1 Tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 Tablespoon chili powder
- 1 Tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 1/2 teaspoon liquid smoke
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
Instructions
- In the bottom of a slow cooker, add the beef broth and onion slices.
- In a small bowl, add the brown sugar, chili powder, Worcestershire, liquid smoke, cumin, salt and pepper. Stir together until combined - you'll have a wet spice rub with the consistency of a paste.
- Cover the meat completely with the spice rub, on all sides of the meat. Place the beef on top of the onions and broth in the slow cooker.
- Cook the beef on high for 4-5 hours or low for 6-7 hours.
- Once cooked, shred with forks on a cutting board. Transfer the shredded beef back to the liquid and onions to keep warm for serving.
- If desired, serve over buns or rolls for pulled beef sandwiches. Top with your favorite barbecue sauce.
Notes
Storage: store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Meet will keep for 5-6 days refrigerated. To keep moist, I recommend refrigerating with some or all of the juices the meat cooked in.
