Ingredients
- 3 pounds Beef brisket, lean
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Onion powder
- 1 tablespoon Garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon Smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
- 1 cup Low-sodium beef broth
- 0.25 cup Apple cider vinegar
- 3 tablespoons Tomato paste
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce, low sodium
- 0.5 teaspoon Liquid smoke
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 275°F (135°C).
In a small bowl, mix together the onion powder, garlic powder, smoked paprika, ground black pepper, and cayenne pepper.
Rub the beef brisket with the olive oil and then apply the spice mixture, ensuring it covers all sides of the meat evenly.
Place the seasoned brisket into a large oven-safe baking dish or roasting pan with a lid.
In a separate bowl, combine the low-sodium beef broth, apple cider vinegar, tomato paste, honey, Worcestershire sauce, and liquid smoke. Mix until well combined.
Pour the mixture over the brisket. Ensure the baking dish is covered tightly with a lid or foil.
Place the dish in the preheated oven and allow it to cook slowly for 4.5 to 5 hours, or until the brisket is tender and cooked through.
Once cooked, remove the brisket from the oven and let it rest for about 15 minutes before slicing.
Slice the brisket against the grain and serve with the BBQ sauce from the pan.
