Ingredients

Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Brisket

    Trim excess fat from the brisket, leaving about 1/4 inch of fat for flavor.

  2. 2

    Apply BBQ Rub

    Generously rub the BBQ spice mixture all over the brisket, ensuring it's evenly coated. Let it marinate for at least 1 hour or overnight in the refrigerator.

  3. 3

    Preheat the Smoker or Oven

    Preheat your smoker or oven to 225°F (107°C).

  4. 4

    Cook the Brisket

    Place the brisket in the smoker or oven fat side up. Cook for approximately 1.5 hours per pound, or until the internal temperature reaches 195°F (90°C).

  5. 5

    Add Liquid

    During the last hour of cooking, mix the beef broth and apple cider vinegar. Pour this mixture into the pan under the brisket to keep it moist.

  6. 6

    Rest the Brisket

    Once cooked, remove the brisket from the smoker or oven and let it rest for at least 30 minutes before slicing.

  7. 7

    Serve with BBQ Sauce

    Slice against the grain and serve with your favorite BBQ sauce on the side.
