Preparation

Step 1

- In a large skillet over medium-high heat, brown each side of your brisket in a drizzle of EVOO (about 4 minutes each side). Sprinkle salt and pepper down over each side.

- While it's browning, combine the brown sugar and mustard together in a small bowl. Set aside.

- Place your browned brisket in the slow cooker. Take your brown sugar mixture and rub it all over the brisket. Add in your chopped onion and pour your liquid on top.

- Cover and cook on high about 8 hours.

- When you're ready to eat, open the lid and remove the brisket from the liquid (discard the liquid) on to a cutting board. Shred the brisket up and serve.
