Ingredients
- 4 lbs Beef brisket flat, trimmed to leave a 1/4-inch fat cap
- 3 tbsp Coarse black pepper
- 2 tbsp Kosher salt
- 1 tbsp Smoked paprika
- 1 tbsp Garlic powder
- 1 tbsp Onion powder
- 1 tbsp Dark brown sugar
- 1 cup Beef broth
- 1 tsp Liquid smoke
- 1 tsp Sea salt flakes for finishing
Instructions
- Prepare the brisket by preheating your oven to 300°F (150°C) and placing it in a large roasting pan, fatty side up.
- Mix the rub by combining black pepper, kosher salt, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and dark brown sugar in a bowl.
- Apply the rub generously to the brisket, ensuring an even coating.
- Prepare the cooking liquid by mixing beef broth with liquid smoke and pouring it around the brisket without washing off the rub.
- Cover the pan tightly with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for approximately 5 hours or until fork-tender.
- Rest the brisket for about 30 minutes before slicing against the grain.
Notes
Choose high-quality meat and avoid rushing the cooking process for the best results. Allow the brisket to rest properly for maximum juiciness.
