Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 5 pounds Beef brisket
- 2 tablespoons Kosher salt
- 1 tablespoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 1.5 cups BBQ sauce
- 0.5 cup Apple cider vinegar
Instructions
Preheat your oven or smoker to 225°F (105°C).
In a small bowl, combine the kosher salt, black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, ground cumin, and brown sugar. Mix thoroughly to create your dry rub.
Evenly apply the dry rub over the entire brisket. Make sure to cover all areas, pressing the rub into the meat for maximum flavor.
If using a smoker, place the brisket on the grill with the fat side up. Smoke for about 6 to 8 hours, maintaining the temperature at 225°F. If using an oven, place the brisket in a large roasting pan and cover it tightly with aluminum foil.
After the initial smoke or 6 hours in the oven, prepare a mop sauce by combining the BBQ sauce and apple cider vinegar in a bowl.
Brush the mop sauce over the brisket, continue cooking for another 2-3 hours until the internal temperature reaches 195°F (90°C) for ultimate tenderness.
Once done, remove the brisket from the heat and let it rest for at least 30 minutes before slicing.
Slice the brisket against the grain and serve with additional BBQ sauce on the side. Enjoy your smoky and tender BBQ brisket!
