Slow Cooker Coffee Glazed Brisket
Tender, flavorful Coffee Glazed Brisket was featured in a Martha Stewart magazine and became our favorite way to eat brisket!!!
This Slow Cooker Brisket is a delicious, comforting recipe that’s perfect on a chilly night.
Coffee Glazed Brisket
Brisket was not a cut of meat I grew up eating. When my friend, Joanne, had her Coffee Glazed Brisket recipe published in Martha Stewart’s Everyday Foods magazine, I knew I had to make it. Since it’s SO simple and delicious, I’ve never been tempted to try another brisket recipe.
I’ve always cooked this beef brisket recipe in a Dutch oven but decided to adapt it for a slow cooker or crockpot for those busy days. I can pop it in the slow cooker in the morning and have a stress-free meal, plus an amazing aroma wafting through the house, by dinner time. Served with mashed potatoes, this makes for a hubby approved entree. I think “incredible” was uttered at least once on the night I served this coffee glazed brisket.
Beef Brisket Recipe
We all have those super busy days when there’s absolutely no time to make a complicated dinner. This super simple slow cooker brisket is a marvelous option for a packed schedule. Just sear both sides of the beef, mix up the sauce ingredients, and pop both into your slow cooker. That’s it!! 8 hours later, dinner is served!
Plus I’m a huge fan of coffee desserts! Why not a whole coffee-themed meal??? Yes, please to these scrumptious buttercream topped Coffee Cupcakes. This Triple Layer Cocoa Cake demonstrates how coffee enhances chocolate desserts. Mocha Ice Cream always makes me swoon and would be terrific as a sundae or served with a chocolate dessert!

Slow Cooker Coffee Glazed Brisket
A slow cooker beef brisket that's pure comfort! Recipe adapted from my friend, Joanne (published in EDF Magazine)
Ingredients
- 3 pounds beef brisket (thin first cut if possible)
- Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
- 2 tablespoons canola oil
- 1/2 cup freshly brewed coffee
- 1/2 cup ketchup
- 1/2 cup chili sauce
- 1/2 cup honey
- 1/3 cup Worcestershire sauce
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1-2 tablespoons soy sauce
Instructions
- Heat oil in Dutch oven. Season brisket with salt and pepper. Add the brisket, fat side down and cook until well browned, about 4-5 minutes per side.
- Combine the remaining ingredients, place brisket in slow cooker, and pour sauce over brisket. Cook on low for 8 hours, flipping at the halfway mark, or till meat shreds easily with a fork. Remove from slow cooker and slice against the grain. Place back in slow cooker to allow slices to absorb some of the pan juices. Serve with sauce.
- Alternatively, cover and bake in 325º oven for 2½-3 hours, flipping halfway through cooking time.

Oooh that looks so good! When it’s damp and chilly out I couldn’t think of anything more comforting and delicious. I love the idea of a coffee glaze!
Toodles,

I never would think that coffee would go with savory food like this. How very clever. My husband and kids would love this brisket. 🙂
My mother in law made a brisket for Christmas, and it was quite tasty. I think it was the first time I’ve eaten brisket outside of corned beef. The coffee glaze on yours sounds delicious!
I love brisket, made it once and was not happy at all with it. I need to try your recipe and hope my husband doesn’t notice the coffee in it (he’s not a coffee fan at all).
What a wonderful flavor that would have, so #SundaySupper worthy!! YUM!!!
I don’t drink coffee but I love the flavor in cooked and baked dishes. Yum!
Looking at the photo, it doesn’t scream easy but your recipe IS. It’s a perfect Sunday Supper.
I don’t have a slow cooker and still cook meat like that on the stovetop with a well sealed lid and it is cooked in 3-4 hours. I am not sure of the advantage of the slow cooker, except maybe it means you can leave the house while it is cooking, which I wouldn’t do with a pot on the stove.
