1
Prepare the Brisket
Trim any excess fat from the brisket to ensure it is lean. Rinse under cold water and pat dry with paper towels.
2
Season the Brisket
In a small bowl, mix together salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and smoked paprika. Rub the spice mixture all over the brisket, ensuring it is evenly coated.

3
Sear the Brisket
In a large skillet or Dutch oven, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the brisket and sear for about 4-5 minutes on each side until browned.
4
Cook the Brisket
If using beef broth, add it to the pot after searing the brisket. Cover the skillet or Dutch oven with a lid, reduce the heat to low, and let it simmer for 3-4 hours, or until the brisket is tender.
5
Rest and Slice
Once cooked, remove the brisket from the heat and let it rest for at least 20 minutes before slicing against the grain. If desired, serve with BBQ sauce on the side.
