Maple Glazed Beef Briskett

Ingredients:

1 teaspoon  cayenne pepper

1 tablespoon salt

1/2 teaspoon pepper

1 1/2 - 2 lbs beef brisket, scored on both sides

2 tablespoons olive oil

1/2 cup maple syrup

2 tablespoons brown sugar

1 tablespoon tomato paste

juice of 1 orange

2 cloves garlic, smashed

4 slices ginger (1/16 inch thick)

4 slices orange peel

Directions:

Combine cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper.

Rub all over brisket and place in a ziplock bag.

Combine remaining ingredients and blend to mix.

Pour over brisket.

Marinade for 2 hours or overnight.

Transfer to crockpot and cook on high for 3 1/2 - 4 hour or low for 7-9 hours

Turn once or twice while cooking.

Serve with liquid served over the briskett.

Verdict:

You've got to love crockpot meals. Although they sometimes take some earlier preperation, like doing it all the night before, it's worth it because of how easy it is the next day. Basically effortless! Our briskett was a little on the fatty side.. so maybe we'll try for a better piece of meat next time.
