Crockpot Spicy BBQ Brisket with Healthy Asian Slaw Recipe

February 6, 2010 by DanicasDaily 10 Comments

I LOVE using my BBQ grill year round, even in the rain.  There is just something about the way it tastes all smoky, crispy and grilled to perfection.  This recipe comes close to bringing that BBQ deliciousness.  Using your slow cooker, you can whip up a tender barbecued beef, pork or chicken sandwich inside and have dinner ready as soon as you walk in the door with little to get it served up and on the table.

This recipe could be used for fun mini BBQ Sliders at your Super Bowl Sunday party tomorrow…let the smell drive your guests crazy all day during the game, then, put these out at half time and watch them disappear.

My inspiration for this recipes comes from the Weight Watcher’s Slow CookIt! Cookbook…I added a few more ingredients to spice it up and of course went with a Healthy Asian Slaw versus a Mayo based slaw.  Enjoy!

SLOW COOKER SPICY BBQ BRISKET WITH HEALTHY ASIAN SLAW (print it!)

IMG_89497

INGREDIENTS:

  • 1 Tbsp chili powder
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp dried oregano
  • 1 tsp sea salt
  • 1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper
  • 3 tsp canola oil, separated
  • 1 1/2 lbs LEAN beef brisket or other lean cut of beef
  • 1 large onion, sliced
  • 1 cup ketchup
  • 1/2 cup sweet jalapeño or chili sauce, 1/4 cup for less spice
  • 1/4 cup molasses
  • 2 Tbsp strongly brewed coffee
  • 1/2 tsp liquid smoke, optional
  • Whole Wheat Hamburger Buns
  • Healthy Asian Slaw, Recipe Below

INSTRUCTIONS:

1.  Combine chili powder through black pepper to create a “rub” mixture.  Rub your spice mixture generously over both sides of your brisket and set aside.

2.  Heat a nonstick pan with 1 teaspoon canola oil over medium heat.  Add sliced onion and cook, stirring often, until slightly golden, about 7-8 minutes.  Remove from heat and set aside.

3.  In a large 4 quart pan or your removable crockpot pan, heat remaining 2 tsp canola oil over medium high heat.  Add your brisket, searing it on each side for about 4-5 minutes or until a nice golden crust forms.  Remove pan from heat and add brisket to your crockpot and top with onions.

4.  To create your spicy BBQ sauce, combine ketchup through coffee and pour over your beef/onion mixture.  Be sure to coat your brisket thoroughly including lifting it to make sure sauce is underneath as well.

5.  Slow cook is for 7-9 hours or until fork tender.  Remove brisket from crockpot and cut across the grain to shred.  Serve on buns with additional sauce and Healthy Asian Slaw.

Makes 10 servings, approximately 1/3 c brisket/3 slices, 6 points+ each

HEALTHY ASIAN SLAW (print it!)

Whenever I have a spicy BBQ sandwich, I LOVE to have a cool, crunchy salad to go with it.  I think this Healthy Asian Slaw takes the flavor of this Spicy BBQ Brisket Sandwich to a whole new level without adding the calories and fat you’d find with regular Cole Slaw.  This slaw also makes an AWESOME side dish topped with toasted almond slices or add some grilled chicken for a complete meal.

STEP – BY – STEP:

Cook your onions until slightly golden.

Sear your prepared “rubbed” brisket on both sides until a nice brown crust forms, about 4-5 minutes over medium high heat.

IMG_8852

Whisk together your Spicy BBQ Sauce.  I wasn’t sure I could handle a full 1/2 cup of chili sauce, so I opted for it’s sweeter friend ~ Sweet Jalapeño Sauce from Bolani.  I LOVE this sauce ~ it’s slightly spicy, slightly sweet and amazing on anything form eggs to breads to sauces.

Place your brisket and onions in your crock pot, Cover with sauce and cook slow and low for 7-9 hours.

Remove brisket from your crock pot and shred/slice.

Top half your bun with your brisket mixture and additional spicy BBQ sauce ~ 1-2 Tbsps.

Top with a heaping spoonful of Healthy Asian Slaw.

    OH EM GEE was the title of my blog post today and I have four as of that time and this is the fifth one.

    That looks so super amazing! I am intrigued by the coffee you throw in and this sweet jalapeno sauce but will definitely try this out sometime! I usually make an asian slaw too but need more variation since the sauce I use is the seasoning packet from ramen noodles and that is so sodium ridden. Thanks for the recipe!

    Hi Alison,

    Absolutely – I think this would work well with pork or chicken. It was delicious, I wish I made more so I could’ve had leftovers 🙂

    This recipe is a bit confusing. How much pepper? 1/4 th what? It’s not listed. Also when do you add any of the other ingredients? Is it a seperate bbq sauce after the meat is done? Do all the other ingredients go in when its slow cooking?

      Hi Deanna,

      Great catch on the pepper. It is 1/4 tsp. I have fixed that above. Sorry about that. As for the remaining ingredients, you combine them to make a homemade bbq sauce that is poured over the meat and cooked all day in the slow cooker.

      If you have any other questions, please let me know.

      Thanks,

      Danica

    I made this fabulous recipe today! My husband and I agreed it needs to be a frequent repeat dinner. The sauce was just unbelievably delicious. I didn’t have enough ketchup, so I substituted tomato sauce and it worked great! Can’t wait to try more of your recipes.
