Ingredients

• 4 pounds beef brisket
• 2 teaspoons kosher salt
• 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 large yellow onion, diced
• 2 cups beef broth
• 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
• 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons water

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C).

Step 2

Trim excess fat off the brisket, if desired, and pat it dry with paper towels.

Step 3

In a small bowl, mix kosher salt, black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder to create the seasoning rub.

Step 4

Rub the olive oil over the brisket, then generously apply the seasoning rub, massaging it into all sides.

Step 5

Heat a large, oven-safe pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Sear the brisket on all sides until browned, about 4-5 minutes per side. Remove the brisket and set it aside.

Step 6

Using the same pot, add the diced onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until translucent.

Step 7

Deglaze the pot by adding the beef broth and scraping up any browned bits from the bottom.

Step 8

Stir in the apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, honey, and Worcestershire sauce, mixing well.

Step 9

Return the brisket to the pot, ensuring it is partially submerged in the liquid. Cover the pot tightly with a lid.

Step 10

Transfer the pot to the oven and cook for 3-4 hours, or until the brisket is tender and easily pulls apart with a fork. Flip the brisket halfway through cooking for even tenderness.

Step 11

Once done, remove the brisket from the pot and set it aside. Let it rest for 15 minutes before slicing.

Step 12

To make the sweet mustard sauce, strain the liquid from the pot into a small saucepan. Bring it to a gentle simmer over medium heat.

Step 13

In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with water to create a slurry. Gradually whisk the slurry into the simmering sauce until it thickens, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 14

Slice the brisket against the grain and serve with the sweet mustard sauce drizzled on top or on the side.
