Ingredients
- For the Spice Rub:
- 2 tablespoons smoked paprika
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 2 teaspoons onion powder
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon salt
- For the Brisket:
- 4 to 5-pound beef brisket
- 1 cup barbecue sauce
Instructions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C) and get ready for some seriously delicious magic.
Step 2
Mix together the smoked paprika, brown sugar, garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder, black pepper, and salt to create your flavorful spice rub.
Step 3
Pat the brisket dry, then generously coat it with the spice rub, ensuring every inch is covered in that smoky goodness.
Step 4
Place the brisket fat side up in a large roasting pan. Cover with aluminum foil to keep all those yummy juices in.
Step 5
Roast in the preheated oven for 4 to 5 hours, or until the brisket is incredibly tender and easily pulls apart with a fork.
Step 6
During the last hour of roasting, carefully remove the foil and brush the brisket with barbecue sauce to achieve that sticky-sweet glaze.
Step 7
Once done, let the brisket rest for about 10 minutes before slicing. Serve with extra barbecue sauce for dipping and savor the flavor!
Notes
Tip 1
Make sure to pat the brisket dry before applying the spice rub to ensure better adherence of the spices.
Tip 2
For optimal flavor, let the spice rub sit on the brisket for at least 30 minutes before roasting, if time allows.
Tip 3
Consider using a meat thermometer to check for doneness; the internal temperature should reach around 195°F (90°C) for perfect tenderness.
Tip 4
Allowing the brisket to rest after roasting helps retain the juices, resulting in a moister final product.
