Ingredients

6 servings

3 to 4 pounds beef brisket
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon paprika
2 teaspoons red chili garlic sauce {I use Huy Fong (Chili Garlic Sauce}, optional for spice)
2 tablespoons soy sauce
4 large cloves garlic (minced)
1 tablespoon fresh-grated ginger
1 lime (juiced)

For the lettuce wraps:

1 head butter lettuce
1/4 medium red onion (thinly sliced)
1 cup of matchstick carrots
4 scallions (green and white parts, thinly sliced)
2 tablespoons roasted peanuts or almonds (chopped (see notes)
1/4 cup fresh cilantro (chopped)

Method

1
Remove the brisket from the frdige and let sit on the counter to come to room temperature while you prep your ingredients.
2
In a small mixing bowl combine the salt, pepper, onion powder, paprika and the red chili garlic sauce {optional} and stir well. Rub the spice mixture over the brisket coating all sides.
3
In a large skillet over medium heat brown all sides of the brisket. Place the brisket in a slow cooker along with the soy sauce, garlic, ginger and lime juice.
4
Cook on low for 8 to 10 hours. When the brisket is fork tender either slice the brisket or shred it. Serve over a rice bowl or in lettuce wraps with onion, carrots, green onion, peanuts and cilantro.

Notes

I like to leave the fat on the brisket when I slow cooker it because it helps to create a more tender piece of meat. Once the brisket is cooked you will want to pull the fat out.
