Ingredients

• 3 pounds beef brisket
• 2 tablespoons smoked paprika
• 1 tablespoon garlic powder
• 1 tablespoon onion powder
• 2 teaspoons ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 2 teaspoons sea salt
• 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• 1 cup coconut aminos
• 1 cup apple cider vinegar
• 6 ounces tomato paste
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 1 teaspoon mustard powder
• 0.5 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 2 tablespoons olive oil

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, dried thyme, sea salt, and black pepper.

Step 3

Rub the spice mixture evenly over the beef brisket, ensuring all sides are well-coated.

Step 4

In a large oven-safe pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the brisket and sear on all sides until browned, about 4-5 minutes per side.

Step 5

In a separate bowl, whisk together the coconut aminos, apple cider vinegar, tomato paste, honey, mustard powder, and cayenne pepper.

Step 6

Pour the sauce mixture over the seared brisket in the pot.

Step 7

Cover the pot with a lid and transfer it to the preheated oven.

Step 8

Bake for 4-5 hours, or until the brisket is tender and easily shreds with a fork.

Step 9

Once done, remove the brisket from the oven. Let it rest for 10 minutes before shredding the meat with two forks.

Step 10

Return the shredded beef to the pot, mixing well with the sauce.

Step 11

Serve the Paleo Classic Beef BBQ hot, with your choice of Paleo-friendly sides.
