 Brisket

Ingredients:

• 3 1/2 pound beef brisket (not corned beef)
• 1 tablespoon salt
• 1 teaspoon pepper 
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon oregano
• 4 garlic cloves (minced)
• 1 onion (sliced)
• 2 cups low sodium beef broth
• 3 tablespoons soy sauce (or coconut aminos) 
• 1/4 cup ketchup
• 1 tablespoon arrowroot powder (or cornstarch)
• 3 tablespoons cold water
 
Slow Cooker Instructions
1. In a small bowl mix together the salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and oregano. Rub the spice mixture all over the brisket on both sides, then place the brisket in a slow cooker, fat side up. Sprinkle the minced garlic over the brisket and top with the sliced onions, on and around it.
2. In a medium bowl whisk together the broth, soy sauce, and ketchup. Pour into slow cooker until the brisket is just covered.
3. Cook on LOW for 8 hours. Once done cooking, either keep in the slow cooker on WARM, or transfer to a wood board and cover with foil and let rest for 20 minutes.
4. Meanwhile, whisk together the arrowroot powder and water in a small bowl to create a slurry. Pour the slurry into the liquid in the slow cooker and stir. The liquid will begin to thicken after 2-3 minutes.
5. Slice the meat against the grain and serve with sauce on top. 


Traeger:
Let meat marinate overnight or as long as possible.
Smoke @225 until interenal temp of 160 (5-6 hours)
wrap with liquid and smoke until the internal temp of 204 (3 hours)
 
Time really just depends on the size of the meat
