It's New Year's Eve and we have a tradition in our house that we stay home and avoid the crowds at the restaurant and we watch football and I organize random things through out our house. As I was happily organizing, we were cooking this delicious slow cooker brisket. I have never cooked a brisket before and was worried about how it would turn out. Needless to say, it was delicious and I personally wish every meal I cooked every day was cooked in my slow cooker because
#1: You really can't burn it.
#2: You set it and forget it
#3: It is always delicious no matter what you cook (minus steel cut oatmeals but that is for another post).
Sweet Heat Chipotle Brisket
Ingredients:
Palmful of Sweet Heat Chipotle Rub
(See Link: http://thehotsqueeze.com/the-hot-squeeze-shop/rubs/sweet-heat-chipotle-rub/ )
1 can of diced tomatoes
1 onion thickly sliced
2 cups of vegetable broth
1.5 lb of beef brisket (preferably grass-fed/organic)
Take a palmful of the rub and generously coat the brisket on all sides. Sear in a hot grill cast iron skillet for 2-3 minutes on each side. Place the onions and tomatoes and place at the bottom of the slow cooker. Place seared brisket over it and pour the 2 cups of vegetable broth. Set on low 6-8 hours or high 4-5 hours. Shred with two forks and let simmer in the juice when it is done for 15-30 minutes.
Make Beef Tacos by adding tortillas, lettuce, cheese, beef brisket and sour cream and serve with black beans and rice! :)
Hope your New Year's meal was just as delicious!
