Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 2 tablespoons (30ml) salt
- 2 tablespoons (30ml) chili powder
- 1 1/2 tablespoons (22ml) garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon (15ml) dry mustard
- 1 tablespoon (15ml) pepper
- 1 tablespoon (15ml) onion powder
- 1 pieces beef brisket (about 3 to 5 lbs / 1.4 to 2.3 kg)
- 1/4 cup (59ml) oil
- 2 cups (473ml) low-sodium beef broth
- 1 tablespoon (15ml) liquid smoke
Instructions
- In a small bowl, combine the salt, chili powder, garlic powder, dry mustard, pepper, and onion powder.
- Rub the mixture onto the beef brisket and refrigerate for at least 6 hours. Bring the brisket to room temperature before cooking.
- Preheat oven to 250°F (120°C) and heat the oil over medium-high heat in a large, lidded pan. Sear both sides of the brisket in the oil until well browned, 4 to 5 minutes per side.
- Add the beef broth and liquid smoke to the pan, cover, and cook in the oven for about 1 hour per pound (0.45 kg), 3 to 5 hours total.
- Remove from the oven and transfer the brisket to a cutting board. Tent loosely with foil, let stand 10 minutes, then slice into thin strips, against the grain.
Notes
- Rub the spice mixture onto the brisket and refrigerate for at least 6 hours to allow the flavors to fully penetrate the meat.
- Ensure you sear both sides of the brisket until well browned (4 to 5 minutes per side) before adding the broth and liquid smoke to build flavor.
- Bake the brisket for about 1 hour per pound, checking the internal temperature for doneness, and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing against the grain.
