Ingredients
Scale
4–5 lbs beef brisket, preferably untrimmed
2 tbsp black pepper, coarsely ground
1 tbsp coriander seeds, crushed
1 tbsp paprika (smoked paprika, if you like a hint of smokiness!)
1 tbsp garlic powder
1 tbsp onion powder
1 tbsp brown sugar
1 tsp mustard seeds
1 tsp crushed red pepper flakes (optional, for a little heat!)
1 tsp ground thyme
1/4 cup water or beef broth
Instructions
In a mixing bowl, combine the black pepper, coriander, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, brown sugar, mustard seeds, crushed red pepper, and thyme.
Pat the brisket dry with paper towels. Rub the spice mix generously all over the surface of the meat.
Fit the seasoned brisket into your slow cooker.
Pour the water or beef broth around the brisket.
Secure the lid on your slow cooker and set it to low for 8-10 hours or high for 4-6 hours.
Once the time is up, carefully lift the lid and check your pastrami. It should be tender enough to shred easily with a fork.
Remove the brisket from the cooker and let it rest for about 15 minutes. Slice it against the grain for the best texture.
