Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup soy sauce
- 0.5 cup brown sugar
- 0.25 cup olive oil
- 0.25 cup apple cider vinegar
- 0.25 cup Worcestershire sauce
- 4 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 2 teaspoons liquid smoke (optional)
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 0.5 cup water
Instructions
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the soy sauce, brown sugar, olive oil, apple cider vinegar, and Worcestershire sauce. Whisk until the sugar is fully dissolved.
Add the minced garlic, liquid smoke (if using), onion powder, paprika, black pepper, ground cumin, and kosher salt. Stir to thoroughly combine.
Gradually whisk in the water to dilute the marinade slightly, making it easier to coat the brisket.
Place your brisket in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the brisket, ensuring it is fully submerged or well-coated.
Seal the bag or cover the dish with plastic wrap. Transfer to the refrigerator and marinate for at least 8 hours or overnight for the best flavor.
Remove the brisket from the marinade before cooking. Pat the brisket dry with paper towels to promote proper browning during cooking.
Cook your brisket using your preferred method—grilling, smoking, or oven-roasting.
