Instructions

1. 1

   Place onion and garlic in a large slow cooker. Add ketchup, beer, vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, and liquid smoke. Set aside.

2. 2

   Combine salt, pepper, chili powder, paprika, oregano, and sugar in a bowl. Rub spice mixture all over brisket. Place brisket into the slow cooker. Sprinkle any remaining spice mixture on top.

3. 3

   Cover, and cook on Low until brisket is fork-tender, 10 to 12 hours.

4. 4

   Transfer brisket to a large bowl. Remove and discard fat from sauce in the slow cooker. Pour 2 cups of sauce from the slow cooker into a saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium heat. Dissolve cornstarch in water. Stir into sauce. Cook, stirring often until sauce thickens, 5 to 10 minutes. Meanwhile, shred brisket into small pieces using two forks.

5. 5

   Pour thickened sauce and remaining sauce from the slow cooker into a blender, filling the pitcher no more than half full. Hold down the lid of the blender with a kitchen towel. Pulse several times to get sauce moving. Purée until smooth. Transfer the sauce back to the slow cooker. Alternately, use a stick blender directly in the slow cooker.

   Add shredded brisket to the slow cooker, stirring together until combined. Use tongs to serve beef on potato buns.
