Description
This BBQ Brisket recipe yields tender, flavorful meat with a smoky, tangy barbecue sauce. Perfect for your next cookout or family gathering!
Ingredients
Scale
- 4–5 lbs beef brisket
- 2 tablespoons kosher salt
- 1 tablespoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon smoked paprika
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon onion powder
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 cup beef broth
- 1 cup barbecue sauce
Instructions
- Preheat your smoker or grill to 225°F (107°C).
- In a small bowl, mix together salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and brown sugar to create a dry rub.
- Rub the spice mixture all over the brisket, covering it evenly.
- Place the brisket in the smoker or on the grill, fat side up, and smoke for about 1 hour per pound, or until the internal temperature reaches 195°F (90°C).
- Every hour, spritz the brisket with beef broth to keep it moist.
- Once the brisket reaches the desired temperature, remove it from the heat and let it rest for at least 30 minutes.
- Slice against the grain and serve with barbecue sauce.
Notes
- For a deeper flavor, marinate the brisket overnight with the dry rub.
- If you don’t have a smoker, you can use a slow cooker or oven set to low temperature.
- Serve with classic sides like coleslaw, baked beans, or cornbread.
