Method
Preparation

Prepare the Rub
In a small bowl, combine brown sugar, paprika, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, and salt. Mix well to create the dry rub.

Season the Brisket
Pat the brisket dry with paper towels. Generously apply the dry rub all over the brisket, ensuring an even coating. Let it sit at room temperature for at least 30 minutes, or refrigerate for up to 24 hours for deeper flavor.
Cooking
- 3
Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).

Sear the Brisket
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, sear the brisket on both sides until browned, approximately 4-5 minutes per side.
- 5
Transfer to Baking Dish
Place the seared brisket in a roasting pan or a baking dish. Pour the beef broth and Worcestershire sauce around the brisket.

Cover and Cook
Cover the pan tightly with aluminum foil and place in the preheated oven. Cook for about 4-5 hours, or until the brisket is tender and easily pulls apart with a fork.

Rest the Brisket
Once cooked, remove the brisket from the oven and let it rest for at least 20 minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute.

Serve
Slice the brisket against the grain, serve with optional BBQ sauce on the side if desired.
