Ingredients
Beef Brisket and Spice Rub
- 4-5 lbs beef brisket
- 2 tablespoons paprika
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon salt
- 1 tablespoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
Cooking Liquid and Sauce
- 1 cup beef broth
- 1 cup BBQ sauce
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).
- In a bowl, mix paprika, brown sugar, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and cayenne pepper to create a spice rub.
- Rub the spice mixture all over the brisket.
Cooking
- Place the brisket in a roasting pan and pour the beef broth around it.
- Cover tightly with foil and bake for about 3-4 hours, or until the meat is tender.
- Remove from the oven, uncover, and brush BBQ sauce over the brisket.
- Increase oven temperature to 350°F (175°C) and bake for an additional 30 minutes.
- Let it rest for 15 minutes before slicing against the grain and serving.
Notes
For extra flavor, let the brisket marinate in the spice rub overnight. Use a meat thermometer to check for doneness; brisket is perfect at an internal temperature of around 190°F (88°C). If you want a smokier flavor, consider using a smoker instead of the oven. You can also serve it on sandwich rolls for delicious brisket sandwiches.
