- 2 kg beef brisket, whole
Trimmed of excess fat
- 2 tbsp Applewood Chipotle spice rub
Or homemade spice blend of choice
Method
- 1
Pat the brisket dry with kitchen paper and place on a clean work surface.
~5 mins - 2
Generously apply the Applewood Chipotle spice rub all over the brisket, coating evenly on all sides.
~5 minsTip: Press the rub in gently so it adheres well
- 3Optional step
Optional: Brown the brisket in a hot frying pan for 2–3 minutes per side for extra flavour depth. This step can be skipped if you're going for maximum convenience.
~10 mins - 4
Place the seasoned brisket into your crock-pot or slow cooker.
~2 minsTip: No liquid needed—the brisket will release its own juices

Cover and cook on Low for 8 hours, or on High for 5 hours. The brisket is done when it's tender and shreds easily with a fork.
~8 hrsTip: Avoid opening the lid during cooking as this releases heat and extends cooking time

Remove the brisket carefully and allow to rest for 10 minutes before slicing. Slice against the grain for maximum tenderness.
~15 minsTip: Serve with the pan juices spooned over the top
