Ingredients
- 6 lbs brisket (flat or point)
Rub
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- ¼ cup smoke paprika
- 2 tbsp onion powder
- 2 tbsp garlic powder
- 2 tbsp mustard powder
- 2 tbsp salt
- 2 tbsp ground cumin
- 1 tbsp black pepper
- 1 tsp ground cayenne pepper ¼-½ tsp if you don't like it spicy
Instructions
Marinate
- In a bowl: combine all the dry rub ingredients together and mix.
- Clean and pat the brisket dry with a paper towel. Trim and discard some of the fat. Rub the dry ingredients on both sides of the brisket (It's going to be a very thick coat of the seasoning). Cover and refrigerate for 12 hours or up to 24 hours.
Cook
- Remove the meat from the refrigerator and let sit for 1 hour before cooking. Preheat the oven to 275°F. Wrap the baking sheet in aluminum foil for easy cleaning later.
- Wrap the meat with aluminum foil. Place the meat on the baking sheet. Place the baking sheet in the middle of the oven. Cook for 5 hours (1 hour per-lb).
- In the last hour, remove the baking sheet from the oven and place on a flat surface. Then carefully remove and discard the aluminum foil that is covering the meat (including the liquid). Center the meat on the baking sheet. Cook uncovered for 1 hour. Optional: broil on low for 5-8 minutes for a crust.
- Remove meat from the oven. Let rest for 30 minutes. Slice the meat against the grain.
