Description
Slow Cooker Pastrami is tender, smoky, and packed with flavor—perfect for making deli-style sandwiches at home with minimal effort.
Ingredients
- 3-4 pounds beef brisket, preferably flat cut
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons black pepper
- 2 tablespoons paprika
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon mustard seeds
- 1/2 teaspoon ground thyme
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes, optional, for heat
- 2 cups beef broth
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 1/4 cup Dijon mustard, for serving
- Rye bread, for serving, optional
Instructions
- In a bowl, mix the brown sugar, black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, coriander, mustard seeds, thyme, cumin, and red pepper flakes (if using). Rub the mixture all over the brisket, pressing it in so it sticks.
- Place the brisket in the slow cooker. Add the beef broth and apple cider vinegar around the brisket. Cover and cook on low for 8-10 hours, or until the meat is tender and easily shreds.
- Once the brisket is fully cooked, remove it from the slow cooker and let it rest for a few minutes. Slice the pastrami thinly against the grain.
- Serve the pastrami on rye bread with Dijon mustard, or enjoy it as is with your favorite sides.
