Ingredients

• 4 pounds Beef brisket
• 2 tablespoons Ground coriander
• 1 tablespoon Coarsely ground black pepper
• 1.5 tablespoons Kosher salt
• 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Onion powder
• 2 cups Beef broth
• 2 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C) or set up a slow cooker if you prefer.

Step 2

In a small bowl, combine the ground coriander, black pepper, kosher salt, brown sugar, paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder to make a dry rub.

Step 3

Trim any excess fat from the brisket if needed, leaving a small layer for flavor, and pat it dry with a paper towel.

Step 4

Rub the dry spice mixture generously all over the brisket, ensuring it is evenly coated.

Step 5

Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat.

Step 6

Sear the brisket on both sides for about 4-5 minutes per side, until it's deeply browned. This step helps lock in flavor.

Step 7

Transfer the seared brisket to a roasting pan or slow cooker.

Step 8

In a measuring cup, combine the beef broth and apple cider vinegar, then pour the mixture around the brisket. Be careful not to pour it directly over the brisket, as you want to maintain the dry rub crust.

Step 9

Cover the roasting pan tightly with aluminum foil or place the lid on your slow cooker. If using the oven, cook for approximately 4-5 hours, or until the brisket is fork-tender. For the slow cooker, set to low for 7-8 hours or high for 4-5 hours.

Step 10

Once cooked, remove the brisket from the cooking liquid and let it rest on a cutting board for 15-20 minutes before slicing against the grain.

Step 11

Optionally, skim the fat from the cooking liquid and serve it as a sauce alongside the brisket.

Step 12

Garnish the sliced brisket with fresh cilantro, if using, and serve hot with your favorite sides.
