Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 pounds beef brisket, trimmed of fat
- 1 cup low sodium beef broth
- 1 cup low sugar BBQ sauce
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 2 tablespoons paprika
- 1 tablespoon onion powder
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon liquid smoke
- 1 tablespoon blackstrap molasses
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).
In a small bowl, mix the paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, black pepper, and salt to create the dry rub.
Place the brisket on a clean surface and rub the spice mixture all over the meat, ensuring it's well coated.
In a separate bowl, combine the low sodium beef broth, low sugar BBQ sauce, apple cider vinegar, and liquid smoke.
Place the coated brisket in a roasting pan and pour the BBQ sauce mixture over the meat.
Cover the pan tightly with aluminum foil and place it in the preheated oven.
Cook for 4 to 5 hours, or until the brisket is tender and easily pulls apart with a fork.
Once cooked, remove the brisket from the oven, and let it rest for about 15 minutes.
Slice the brisket thinly against the grain and serve with a spoonful of the cooking liquid drizzled on top for extra flavor.
Pair with a side of steamed vegetables or a fresh salad for a complete, low-fat meal.
