Directions

1. Mix Rub ingredients. Rub all over brisket. If time permits, leave for 30 minutes 24 hours in the fridge, but I rarely do this.
2. Combine BBQ Sauce ingredients in a slow cooker. Mix then add the brisket squish it in if needed, like I did (see video).
3. Slow cook in slow cooker for 8 hours (1.5 kg / 3 lb) to 10 hours (2 kg / 4 lb). (Note 2 for pressure cooker and click here for oven)
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. Meanwhile, drizzle brisket with oil then roast in a 200C/390F oven for 15 minutes until brown spots appear. Remove then baste generously with Sauce, then return to oven for 5 minutes. Remove and baste again, then return to oven for 5 10 minutes until it caramelises and looks like the photos. (See note for BBQ option)
7. TO SERVE: Slice brisket thinly across the grain and serve with remaining BBQ Sauce. This is terrific served as a meal with sides or piled high onto rolls with Coleslaw as sliders. See Note 3 for more ideas.
