Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).

Step 2

In a small bowl, mix together the smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, ground cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper.

Step 3

Pat the brisket dry with paper towels to remove any excess moisture.

Step 4

Rub the olive oil over both sides of the brisket.

Step 5

Generously apply the spice rub over the entire surface of the brisket, massaging it into the meat for full flavor absorption.

In a small bowl, mix the apple cider vinegar, coconut aminos, and liquid smoke.

Step 7

Place the brisket in a large roasting pan or slow cooker and pour the vinegar mixture over it.

Step 8

Cover the pan tightly with aluminum foil or place the lid on the slow cooker.

Step 9

Cook in the oven for about 6-7 hours or until the brisket is fork tender. If using a slow cooker, set it to low for the same duration.

Step 10

Let the brisket rest for about 15 minutes before slicing against the grain into thin slices.

Step 11

Serve warm with your favorite low-carb side dishes.
