Ingredients

• 1 cup soy sauce
• 0.5 cup brown sugar
• 0.25 cup olive oil
• 0.25 cup apple cider vinegar
• 0.25 cup Worcestershire sauce
• 4 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 2 teaspoons liquid smoke (optional)
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt
• 0.5 cup water

Directions

Step 1

In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the soy sauce, brown sugar, olive oil, apple cider vinegar, and Worcestershire sauce. Whisk until the sugar is fully dissolved.

Step 2

Add the minced garlic, liquid smoke (if using), onion powder, paprika, black pepper, ground cumin, and kosher salt. Stir to thoroughly combine.

Step 3

Gradually whisk in the water to dilute the marinade slightly, making it easier to coat the brisket.

Step 4

Place your brisket in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the brisket, ensuring it is fully submerged or well-coated.

Step 5

Seal the bag or cover the dish with plastic wrap. Transfer to the refrigerator and marinate for at least 8 hours or overnight for the best flavor.

Step 6

Remove the brisket from the marinade before cooking. Pat the brisket dry with paper towels to promote proper browning during cooking.

Step 7

Cook your brisket using your preferred method—grilling, smoking, or oven-roasting.
