  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar (Rub)
  • 2 teaspoons paprika (Rub)
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder (Rub)
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder (Rub)
  • 1⁄2 teaspoon cumin (Rub)
  • 3⁄4 teaspoon mustard powder (Rub)
  • 1 teaspoon salt (Rub)
  • 1⁄2 teaspoon black pepper (Rub)
  • 2 cloves garlic (BBQ Sauce)
  • 1⁄2 cup apple cider vinegar (BBQ Sauce)
  • 1 1⁄2 cups ketchup (BBQ Sauce)
  • 1⁄2 cup brown sugar (BBQ Sauce)
  • 2 teaspoons black pepper (BBQ Sauce)
  • 2 teaspoons onion powder (BBQ Sauce)

    1. Mix Rub ingredients. Rub all over brisket. If time permits, leave for 30 minutes – 24 hours in the fridge.
    2. Combine BBQ Sauce ingredients in a slow cooker. Mix then add the brisket.
    3. Slow cook in slow cooker for 8 hours (1.5 kg / 3 lb) to 10 hours (2 kg / 4 lb).
    4. Remove brisket onto a tray.
    5. Pour liquid in slow cooker into a saucepan. Bring to simmer over medium high heat and reduce until it thickens to a syrup consistency (it thickens more as it cools).
    6. Brush grills with oil, then preheat BBQ to medium. Place beef on the grills and leave until browned, then turn the beef over and brown the other side. Baste the beef generously and turn, then baste again. Do this repeatedly until there is a nice caramelised glaze on the brisket, then remove.
    7. TO SERVE: Slice brisket thinly across the grain and serve with remaining BBQ Sauce.
