Ingredients
Brisket Preparation
- 4 pounds beef brisket Choose a well-marbled brisket for best results.
- 1 tablespoon salt
- 1 tablespoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon smoked paprika
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon onion powder
- 1 cup beef broth
Barbecue Sauce
- 1 cup barbecue sauce Use your favorite store-bought or homemade barbecue sauce.
- 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).
- Rub the brisket with salt, pepper, smoked paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder on all sides.
- Place the brisket in a baking dish or roasting pan and pour the beef broth around it. Cover tightly with foil.
Cooking
- Bake for 3-4 hours, or until the brisket is fork-tender.
- In a small saucepan, combine barbecue sauce, apple cider vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, and brown sugar. Simmer on low heat for 10 minutes.
Serving
- Remove the brisket from the oven and let it rest for 10–15 minutes before slicing.
- Serve with the homemade barbecue sauce.
Notes
Pat the brisket dry before seasoning so the rub sticks. Reheat gently with a splash of beef broth to keep meat moist. Let the meat rest for tender slices.
