- In a small bowl, combine 2 tbsp liquid smoke, 1 tbsp celery salt, 1 tsp black pepper, and 1 tbsp kosher salt.
- Using gloves or a plastic bag, thoroughly rub the spice mixture all over the brisket.
- Place the brisket in a slow cooker. Top with 1 large sliced onion.
- In a bowl, combine 2 cups of your favorite beer (stout or porter recommended) and 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce.
- Pour the beer mixture over the brisket in the slow cooker.
- Cook on low for 10-12 hours, or until the brisket is fork-tender.
- Remove the brisket from the slow cooker and keep warm, loosely tented with foil.
- Strain the cooking juices from the slow cooker into a small saucepan, discarding solids.
- In a separate small bowl, whisk together 2 tbsp cornstarch and 2 tbsp cold water until smooth.
- Gradually whisk the cornstarch slurry into the saucepan with the cooking juices.
- Bring the sauce to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 2 minutes, or until thickened, stirring constantly.
- Slice the brisket thinly against the grain.
- Spoon the delicious gravy generously over the sliced brisket and serve immediately over mashed potatoes.
