Ingredients
- 3 pounds Beef brisket
- 2 tablespoons Smoked paprika
- 1 tablespoon Garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon Onion powder
- 3 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 teaspoons Liquid smoke
- 2 tablespoons Yellow mustard
- 1 cup Barbecue sauce
- 1 roll Aluminum foil
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).
Step 2
In a small bowl, mix smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, brown sugar, salt, and black pepper to create a dry rub.
Step 3
Pat the brisket dry with paper towels and spread the yellow mustard evenly over it to act as a binding agent for the rub.
Step 4
Generously coat the brisket with the dry rub, pressing it into the meat to ensure it sticks.
Step 5
Place the brisket on a large sheet of aluminum foil. Add a few drops of liquid smoke to the meat for a subtle smoky flavor, then wrap the brisket tightly in foil to seal in the juices.
Step 6
Put the wrapped brisket on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 4 1/2 to 5 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 200°F (93°C) and the meat is tender.
Step 7
Carefully remove the brisket from the oven and let it rest in the foil for 30 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
Step 8
Unwrap the brisket and brush it generously with barbecue sauce. Optionally, place it under the broiler for 5 minutes to caramelize the sauce.
Step 9
Slice the brisket against the grain and serve with additional barbecue sauce on the side.
