  • 4 pounds beef brisket
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • 2 tablespoons garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon mustard powder
  • 1 tablespoon smoked paprika
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon cracked black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon cracked white pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon cracked red pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

Barbecue Sauce

  • 2 cups barbecue sauce
  • 6 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon molasses
  • 1 tablespoon ketchup
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon soy sauce
  • 2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/2 tablespoon cayenne pepper (optional, for spice)
  • 1 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F to prepare for the initial roasting stage.
  2. Prepare Sauce: In a bowl, combine all barbecue sauce ingredients and mix well, then set aside for later use.
  3. Pat Dry Brisket: Thoroughly pat the brisket dry with paper towels to help the seasoning stick.
  4. Add Liquids to Roasting Tray: Pour 1 cup beef broth, 1 cup of the prepared sauce, and 1 cup water into the roasting tray and stir to combine.
  5. Season Brisket: Mix the seasoning ingredients in a separate bowl and generously season the brisket on all sides. Place the brisket into the roasting tray.
  6. Cover and Cook (First Phase): Cover the tray tightly with foil and cook in the preheated oven at 350 degrees F for 1 hour to start the tenderizing process.
  7. Slow Cook (Second Phase): Reduce oven temperature to 300 degrees F and continue cooking the brisket for an additional 3 to 4 hours, or until the meat is fork-tender.
  8. Prepare for Basting: Carefully pour 1/4 cup of the juices from the roasting tray into the remaining barbecue sauce and stir to combine.
  9. Baste and Char (First Baste): Baste the brisket with the combined sauce and either grill or broil it in a preheated oven at 400 degrees F for about 10 minutes, until the edges begin to char.
  10. Baste and Char (Second Baste): Baste the meat again and continue to grill or broil until the sauce is sticky and the edges are nicely charred.
  11. Rest and Slice: Let the brisket rest for 10 minutes to help retain juices, then slice thinly across the grain. Serve with the remaining barbecue sauce.

Notes

  • Ensure to cover the brisket tightly with foil to keep it moist during roasting.
  • The resting period is crucial for juicy slices, so do not skip it.
  • You can adjust the cayenne pepper amount in the sauce to control the spice level.
  • Using a sharp knife to slice against the grain will make the brisket more tender.
  • Grilling or broiling at the end adds a delicious char and sticky glaze to the brisket.
