Ingredients

4-5 pounds (1.8-2.2k) beef brisket
2 tablespoons (24g) Creole or steak seasoning
2 medium onions, sliced
1 tablespoon (8g) garlic, minced
1 teaspoon thyme
2 teaspoons (10g) Worcestershire
1 tablespoon (15g) soy sauce
½ cup (142g) barbecue sauce
Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Instructions

Generously season brisket with salt and pepper, followed by steak seasoning or your favorite seasoning.
Heat oil in a large, heavy skillet or cast-iron pan over high heat, and add brisket (fat side down) when hot. Sear for 4-5 minutes on each side or until browned, flipping once. Transfer to a board or plate.
In the same pan, add sliced onions, garlic, and thyme. Sauté for 4-5 minutes or until fragrant and onions are translucent. Add the Worcestershire and soy sauce and cook for another minute.
Place sautéed onions at the bottom of the slow cooker, then add the brisket. Top the brisket with three-quarters of the barbecue sauce. Cook on low for about 8 hours or high for 4-5 hours, depending on the size of the brisket.
Turn off the slow cooker and let the beef rest for about 15 min with the lid on. Remove brisket, place on aboard, brush the top with the remaining barbecue sauce, slice, and serve.

Notes

Do not bother to marinate the beef, the slow cooker will do that for you.
Don't worry about adding water; the beef should have enough juice for the cooking process.
Cooking time will depend on the size of the brisket; check beef about an hour before it should be done to determine if it requires more time.
