Ingredients

• 5 pounds Beef brisket
• 2 tablespoons Smoked paprika
• 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon Kosher salt
• 1 tablespoon Black pepper
• 2 teaspoons Garlic powder
• 2 teaspoons Onion powder
• 1 teaspoon Ground mustard
• 0.5 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
• 1 tablespoon Liquid smoke
• 1 cup Beef broth

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).

Step 2

Trim excess fat from the beef brisket, leaving a thin layer for flavor and moisture during cooking.

Step 3

In a small bowl, mix together the smoked paprika, brown sugar, kosher salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, ground mustard, and cayenne pepper to create a dry rub.

Step 4

Rub the brisket generously with the dry rub, ensuring all sides are evenly coated. Massage the seasoning into the meat to help it adhere.

Step 5

Place the brisket in a roasting pan or large baking dish, fat-side up. Add the liquid smoke and beef broth to the bottom of the pan.

Step 6

Cover the pan tightly with aluminum foil to create a sealed environment for the brisket to cook slowly and retain moisture.

Step 7

Roast the brisket in the preheated oven for approximately 5-6 hours, or until the internal temperature of the meat reaches 195-205°F (90-96°C) and it is tender enough to easily shred with a fork.

Step 8

Remove the brisket from the oven and let it rest, covered, for 15-20 minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat.

Step 9

Slice the brisket against the grain into thin slices. Serve with your favorite barbecue sauce and side dishes, such as coleslaw or cornbread.
