Notes
Make sure you season well and sear the brisket before slow cooking. Searing the brisket helps keep it juicy and locks in flavor!
Leave the soft fat on the brisket. The fat adds flavor and tenderness, especially the fat that is marbled inside the cut of meat. Trim off the hard fat.
To make this recipe in an Instant Pot using the slow-cooker setting, you would follow all the same steps as if you were making it in a slow-cooker. See blog post for directions and things to consider.
Does your slow cooker get too hot? Use a timer that plugs into the outlet, and plug the slow cooker into the timer ($9). Then, set the timer so that every other tick is off. It helps keep the slow cooker lower than the low setting. If you have an older crockpot, no need to do this.
You can use kosher for Passover soy sauce. This recipe also works with salt instead of soy sauce. Season to your own preference.
