   In a bowl, combine the brown sugar, kosher salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and cayenne pepper. Mix well.

3. 3

   Apply the Cure

   Rub the cure mixture all over the brisket, ensuring it is evenly coated. Pour the water over the brisket to help dissolve the sugars.

   After 5 days, remove the brisket from the refrigerator, rinse it under cold water, and pat it dry with paper towels.

   Cook the Brisket

   Preheat your oven to 225°F (107°C). Place the brisket in a roasting pan and cook for 6-8 hours, or until tender.

   Rest and Slice

   Once cooked, let the brisket rest for at least 30 minutes before slicing or chopping.
