Method
step 1
Combine the rub ingredients and rub them over the brisket, then seal all sides of the rubbed brisket in a hot pan with a couple of tablespoons of oil. Take care to allow the outer of the brisket to seal but not overcook the joint as it will become tough.step 2
Place the four onion quarters at the bottom of your slow cooker, they will act as trestles for your meat.step 3
Add the rest of the sauce ingredients to the slow cooker then add the seared brisket.step 4
Allow the brisket to slow cook for around 8-10 hours.step 5
Turn the slow cooker off and add the lime juice, if the beef brisket is well-cooked it should shred under the weight of a wooden spoon.
