Cooking Instructions
Preparation of Spice Rub
In a bowl, mix together brown sugar, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, salt, and cayenne pepper to create a spice rub.
Applying the Rub
Generously rub the spice mixture all over the beef brisket, ensuring it's well-coated. Let it rest for at least 1 hour, or overnight in the refrigerator for best results.
Prepping the Smoker or Oven
Preheat your smoker to 225°F (107°C) or your oven to a low temperature setting.
Cooking 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).
Basting the Brisket
In a separate bowl, mix together Worcestershire sauce, beef broth, and apple cider vinegar. Baste the brisket every hour to keep it moist.
Resting the Brisket
Once cooked, remove the brisket from the heat and let it rest for at least 30 minutes before slicing.
Slicing and Serving
Slice the brisket against the grain and serve with your choice of sides.
