crockpot honey mustard brisket
I gave you potatoes on Monday. Now it's time for some serious meat. Meat and potatoes! Your next dinner for your man is done. You're welcome :)
It doesn't get easier than this. Of course, your beloved slow cooker will do 99.9% of the work for you. I seared my meat in the morning and slow cooked it all day while I was at school. When I came home, OMG my house smelled insane. I had major guilt for making Buddy suffer through smelling delicious meat all day long, so he may or may not have gotten some of this in his bowl that night.
Oh! And this honey mustard dressing! I used this recipe from Heather's Dish and I am madly in love with it. You can totally use a bottled honey mustard salad dressing for this, but I promise that this one is about 1 minute more work and about a billion times more delicious.
Crockpot Honey Mustard Brisket
serves 4-6
you'll need:
1 2-3 pound brisket
canola oil
salt and pepper
2 cups beef broth
3 tablespoons Worchestire
1 1/2 cups honey mustard dressing (homemade or store-bought)
Heat a couple tablespoons of canola oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. While skillet is heating, generously rub brisket with salt and pepper on both sides. Lay brisket in skillet fat side down and sear 4-5 minutes. Flip brisket (so now the fat side is up) and sear 4-5 more minutes. Transfer to your slow cooker without flipping the meat (you still want the fat side up!). Pour in beef broth and Worchestire. Pour honey mustard dressing all over the top of the meat. Cover and cook on low for 8-10 hours.
Remove brisket from slow cooker and transfer to a cutting board or large plate. Cover tightly with foil and allow to rest for 20 minutes. After meat has rested, remove foil and slice brisket.
You can serve the meat on its own with a couple sides like I did, but it would also be fabulous in tacos or as a sandwich!

This sounds SO GOOD. Thanks for making the next dinner for my man so easy to come up with -- he's going to love it (if I don't eat it all first ;))

Ha! I may have snuck a good number of bites of this before it was served... :)
Deleteoh my goodness! I must make this. I need easy crock pot recipes and this sounds so easy and delicious. My husband would love it (and so would I)! Thank you!
ReplyDeleteEasy crockpot recipes are just the best! This really is as simple as it gets, with a great payoff! Hope you like it, Monica!
DeleteOooh I love when the slow cooker does most of the work! :)

DeleteOk, Marie, that picture is just pure evil! Evil evilness. Which I want in my belly.
ReplyDeleteHaha! I'll trade you brisket for your citrus chicken...deal?
DeleteThis is one of those rare time that I wish I ate beef! It looks SOO GOOD!
ReplyDeleteOh no! I was going to add in the post that this method would be great with any meat - pork shoulder or chicken thighs would be awesome!
Deleteeven though I dont eat brisket, love how moist it is - i am sure your husband was one happy man :)
ReplyDeleteHaha yes he was!
DeleteI'm originally from the South so I consider myself to be a serious brisket critic - this looks delicious! Would love to try it with a bit of whole grain mustard. Yum!
ReplyDeleteThanks lady! Whole grain mustard would be fabulous!
DeleteI've made pulled pork this way, but never brisket. I love it! The flavors are so great, would never have thought to use honey mustard...
ReplyDeleteI actually thought about doing this same thing with pork shoulder... I bet it's great!
DeleteWhoa.. I need this in my life..right now.. so good.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Erika! :)
DeleteAre you kidding me?! This looks insane! Can't wait to try it out!

Thanks so much, Anne! This really is a great meal for a busy day - almost all the work is totally done for you!
DeleteWe need to use our crockpot more. My husband is definitely a meat kind of guy, and this sounds right up his alley!
ReplyDeleteI never used one until this past fall, and now I am in love! It works great for cuts of meat like brisket or pork shoulder!
DeleteI loooooove slow cooked meats in the slow cooker! And I love honey mustard! I'm totally making this!
ReplyDeleteWe are totally on the same page there! I don't think there's a better way to get tender brisket than the slow cooker! And I hope you love this honey mustard as much as I do... obsessed!
DeleteWoW!! I really need to get a crockpot. This sounds so good!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Cathleen! The crockpot really is great for cuts of meat like brisket!!
DeleteYour brisket looks very tender and moist. I recently got a rice cooker that can doing the slow cooking function. I will have to try this soon!
ReplyDeleteI hope you like it! :)
DeleteI bet this is fantastic! Definitely dude-pleasing food.
ReplyDeleteThere is nothing I like better than brisket but have never tried it in a slow cooker SO..... guess what's for dinner tomorrow! Can't wait to try it out! Great recipe, my mouth was watering just looking at it. Thanks for sharing!!!!
ReplyDeleteWould you brown the chicken thighs before putting them in the crock pot? How long would you recommend cooking them for?

DeleteI love a good brisket! It's the perfect comfort food to me. What a delicious recipe but I think my husband would have a serious problem letting me use his Balvenie in a recipe :)
