Ingredients

• 5 pounds Beef brisket
• 2 tablespoons Salt
• 1 tablespoon Black pepper
• 1 tablespoon Garlic powder
• 1 tablespoon Onion powder
• 1 tablespoon Smoked paprika
• 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 cups Beef broth
• 3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 1 cup Ketchup
• 2 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
• 2 tablespoons Honey
• 2 tablespoons Yellow mustard
• 4 cloves Crushed garlic cloves
• 1 medium Onion, sliced

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 275°F (135°C).

Step 2

In a small bowl, combine the salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, and brown sugar to create the spice rub.

Step 3

Pat the beef brisket dry with paper towels. Rub the olive oil over the entire surface of the brisket, then generously apply the spice rub, pressing it in to coat the meat evenly.

Step 4

In a large roasting pan or Dutch oven, arrange the sliced onion and crushed garlic cloves in a single layer to act as a bed for the brisket.

Step 5

Place the seasoned brisket on top of the onions and garlic, fat side up.

Step 6

In another bowl, whisk together the beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, ketchup, apple cider vinegar, honey, and yellow mustard to create the braising liquid.

Step 7

Pour the braising liquid around the brisket (not directly over the top) to keep the spice rub intact. Cover the pan tightly with foil or a lid.

Step 8

Place the pan in the preheated oven and cook for approximately 8 hours, or until the brisket is fork-tender. Check occasionally to ensure the liquid has not completely evaporated; add a little water or broth if needed.

Step 9

Once cooked, carefully transfer the brisket to a cutting board and let it rest for 20 minutes. Slice against the grain into thin slices for maximum tenderness.

Step 10

Serve with some of the cooked onions and a drizzle of the braising liquid. Enjoy with your favorite sides!
