directions

  • Trim beef of any large extra fat. A little is good for flavor.
  • Place the roast in the middle of a large piece of aluminum foil.
  • Rub beef all over with all of the spices.
  • Sprinkle liquid smoke over beef and rap tightly in foil. Make sure it's completely wrapped.
  • DO NOT ADD ANY LIQUID TO THE CROCKPOT!
  • Place in crock pot and cook on low setting for 8-10 hrs (10 for a larger cut of beef).
  • Unwrap beef and serve with the "smoker" juices in the crock pot or with your favorite barbecue sauce.

  1. KEEPER! While I didn't have any liquid smoke so I used worchestershire in place. Prepped according to directions, tightly foiled and left in fridge overnight. Placed in crock pot in AM, no liquid and WOW....what a wonderful brisket we came home to! The flavor was superb, brisket was tender, juicy and fell apart. Thanks Kelly!!
     
  2. I followed the recipe and it came out delicious. After it was done, I sliced it up and slatherd it with bbq sauce that I thinned out with the juices the beef made and then broiled it for a few minuets. My husband could not stop moaning and groaning because it was sooo good.
     
  3. 5 stars for a great technique. I believe I made this once before but didn't get to reviewing. This time I substituted the salt and pepper for 2 Tbs of montreal steak seasoning. I only used 1 Tbs of liquid smoke. I'm not sure how I feel about the liquid smoke. I remember 2 Tbs being overwhelming but 1 wasn't quite enough... on the other hand it gave it a "beef jerky" flavor and I don't know if I really like that. From now on I may just consider this a roast beef recipe and do away with the smoke altogether.
     
  4. While this did make a very cheap cut of beef come out extremely moist and tender, my family found the amount of liquid smoke to be overwhelming and leave too much of a chemical taste. I will definitely use this method for making pot roast again, but will use much, much less liquid smoke.
     
  5. Great! I always use a lead themometer with an alarm on it. These are designed for cooking in an oven but work just as well in a crook pot. I cooked on low and set the alarm for 215 F (for a tough piece like brisket 170 F won't get it tender). All slow cookers are different, but these thomometers take the guess work out of if. I used my sister-in-law's spice combo, which was a little different, but very good. I could not believe how tender and tasty it was, and so easy!! Made great sandwiches for a week.

Tweaks

  1. Added celery seed, cut back on salt, used sirloin tip roast, added a dash of chili powder.
     
  2. 3/4 T salt, 1T Montreal seasoning, 3/4 T fresh cracked pepper, 3/4 tsp liquid smoke mesquite, 2 1/4 tsp Worcestershire, 3 cloves minced garlic.
     
  3. This was just so good. I decreased the salt and pepper to 2 tsps each and the liquid smoke to 1 tsp adding some Worcestershire sauce instead. I would further decrease the salt next time.
     
  4. Not that this recipe needs another great review but... it was easy & awesome! I substituted Worcestershire sauce for the liquid smoke and it turned out just great! Easy clean up is a bonus too - thanks for an awesome recipe!

I dream about being a chef! I grew up in Maui so I was exposed to a lot of different cultures and cuisines. I went to nursing school instead of chef school because it was "more practical" at the time. I am married and have one 19 year old son. I have three stepchildren also. This December my oldest stepson is making me a grandmother. Not a name I wanted before I'm 40, but I'm excited! I love to cook, eat, garden, ride my horse and recently took up golf.
