Method
Preparation
Prepare the Brisket
Rinse the brisket under cold water and pat it dry with paper towels. Trim any excess fat from the brisket, leaving about a 1/4 inch layer for flavor.
Season the Brisket
In a small bowl, mix together kosher salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, and cayenne pepper. Rub the spice mixture evenly all over the brisket, making sure to cover all sides.
Cooking
Sear the Brisket
Heat olive oil in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the brisket and sear it for about 4-5 minutes on each side until a nice brown crust forms.
Prepare the Cooking Liquid
In a bowl, mix together beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, and apple cider vinegar. Pour this mixture into the pot with the brisket after searing.
Slow Cook the Brisket
Cover the pot and reduce the heat to low. Allow the brisket to cook for 4-5 hours, or until the meat is tender and easily pulls apart with a fork. Alternatively, you can cook it in a slow cooker on low for the same amount of time.
Finishing
Rest and Slice
Once cooked, remove the brisket from the pot and let it rest for at least 20 minutes. After resting, slice the brisket against the grain into thin slices.
Garnish and Serve
Serve the sliced brisket with a sprinkle of fresh parsley on top. Enjoy with your favorite sides!
