Ingredients

• 4 pounds Beef brisket
• 2 tablespoons Smoked paprika
• 1 tablespoon Garlic powder
• 1 tablespoon Onion powder
• 2 teaspoons Black pepper
• 1 tablespoon Sea salt
• 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
• 1 cup Coconut aminos
• 2 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
• 2 tablespoons Tomato paste
• 1 tablespoon Honey
• 1 teaspoon Chipotle powder
• 1 teaspoon Liquid smoke

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C) or set your smoker to 225°F (110°C) if smoking the brisket.

Step 2

In a small bowl, combine the smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, sea salt, and dried thyme. Rub this spice mixture evenly over the entire brisket, ensuring all sides are coated.

Step 3

Place the brisket in a large baking dish if using the oven, or directly on the grill if smoking.

Step 4

In another bowl, mix together the coconut aminos, apple cider vinegar, tomato paste, honey, chipotle powder, and liquid smoke to form the BBQ sauce.

Step 5

Pour half of the BBQ sauce over the brisket, coating it evenly. Reserve the other half for basting during cooking and serving.

Step 6

If using the oven, cover the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil. If smoking, place the brisket in the smoker without covering.

Step 7

Oven: Cook the brisket for about 4-5 hours until it is tender and can be pulled apart easily with a fork. Baste the brisket with reserved BBQ sauce every hour. Smoker: Smoke the brisket for about 6-7 hours, maintaining a consistent temperature, and baste with the BBQ sauce every hour.

Step 8

Check for doneness by inserting a fork into the brisket; it should be tender. If not, continue cooking for an additional 30 minutes, checking every 15 minutes thereafter.

Step 9

Once done, allow the brisket to rest for at least 20 minutes before slicing.

Step 10

Slice the brisket against the grain and serve with the remaining BBQ sauce drizzled on top or on the side.
