Beef Brisket Tacos

Tips for Cooking Meat in a Slow Cooker:

Whether you use your slow cooker all the time or you are new to it, this recipe is a great place to start! Cooking meat in a slow cooker really makes some amazingly tender and juicy meat! Here are some tips to make it the best!

• Cut of beef: The best cut to get for this is of course a brisket! That’s because it holds its shape even when it’s tender. Then it can be easily sliced! If you cannot get your hands on a beef brisket then the best substitute for it would be a chuck beef roast.

• The fat on the cut: Normally you go about trimming the fat on your meat before it gets cooked! But in this case, if you want to get an extra juicy cut of meat, you can leave that until afterwards. The fat keeps the beef from drying out while its cooking. You can trim away the fat once you are ready to slice it and serve it! That way it will get extra juicy!

• Let it rest!! This is one of the most important steps you cannot skip! Once your meat is done cooking and you take it out and set it on a serving platter, don’t touch it! Leave it alone for about 10 minutes. This is when the meat actually absorbs most of those juices. So cutting into it too soon dries it out. Don’t let all of that slow cooking go to waste! Let that meat rest!
